We exposed Instacart's secret pricing lab. The public outcry was immediate, & Instacart shut it down 2 weeks later.
Last week, NY passed a law banning surveillance pricing with 40 bills being introduced in 24 states this year alone. This is what accountability looks like.
Watching live sports is less affordable & accessible than ever.
“The price of watching live sport — & live music — has exploded over the last decade for 3 main reasons: monopoly, dynamic pricing, & scarcity,” @owenslindsay1 explains.
Excellent reporting from @mjshrimper 👇
We ran the polling and found 76% of Americans believe surveillance pricing is inherently unfair.
@owenslindsay1 makes it clear: “Price stability is important for consumers. It’s impossible to comparison shop if prices are shifting.”
If you're 28 and older, the labor market is chugging along.
If you're 27 and younger? The labor market is "frightening" as @owenslindsay1 tells @MSNOWNews.
Young grads are facing a career of "slower lifetime earnings and slower advancement."
Your friendly Walmart whistleblower, @owenslindsay1, is back with a new warning: The company is now selling a TV that spies on you.
It's surveillance capitalism plugged right into your TV set.
Trumpflation is showing up uninvited and ruining your cookouts this summer.
Many people are saying this (this was a fun one to design btw) https://prospect.org/2026/02/03/feb-2026-magazine-sports-not-in-their-league-fandom/
There are a few guys - and they are mostly guys - who are profiting from Trump's war in Iran. Oil & gas CEOs have raked in $23B in extra profits.
That's no accident: they have been lobbying Trump hard to keep those prices high. @AlexSJacquez on @majorityfm breaks it down.
🚨NEW: 66% of Americans believe Trump has used the power of the presidency to enrich himself, his family, & his political allies.
We and @econliberties found it's driving up costs for working families. Big time.
Our @ENPancotti joined @ddayen, Rep. @emmagreenman, @NicORourkePHL, & @RepRabb to present at this year's @Netroots_Nation!
They showed how unchecked corporate power is pushing our communities into an affordability crisis, & the real solutions available to elected officials.
WATCH: The cost of living crisis is hitting Americans of all stripes. The only thing that makes that worse is if you don't have a lot coming in every month", @owenslindsay1 warns on @MSNOWNews.
"Young people are getting hit hard with the combination of rising prices & low
Next time you're paying $4.50 per gallon at the pump, remember oil and gas company CEOs have raked in $23 billion in *excess* profits thanks to Trump's war with Iran.
Instead of helping increase supply, they're taking those profits and giving them right back to shareholders.
This headline doesn't paint the full picture:
🤏 Hiring is concentrated in just a few industries
📈 Long-term joblessness has climbed to its highest share since 2021
🐢 Paychecks are not keeping pace with record price increases driven by Trump’s tariffs & his war in Iran
The US adds 172,000 jobs in May, far topping estimates. Follow live updates: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/live-blog/2026-06-05/us-employment-report-for-may?taid=6a22c463b189380001a03cbb&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_content=business&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
American consumers are justifiably angry.
We're losing $165 billion a year on the “annoyance economy” or what we pay in time, fees, and irritation to navigate our daily lives.
As our @ChadMaisel notes: "It's a very toxic cycle."
New York just passed the One Fair Price Act, which bans corporations from using your personal data to charge you more than your neighbor for the same item.
80% of New Yorkers support it.
This is what happens when research meets power.
