Billionaire wealth goes up 58% in the pandemic after their stocks were bailed out by the Fed: "that's just savvy business people"

Weird to blame Bernie for #RoeVsWade being overturned instead of Barack Obama who actually had the power to codify, but instead used his majorities in Congress to pass Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan, made the bush tax cuts permanent, and bailed out his Wall Street donors
Two pharmaceutical giants have hiked the prices of their blood thinners in lockstep for years. This apparent coordination is costing taxpayers billions through Medicare. @SenAmyKlobuchar and I are concerned the corporations involved are breaking the law. We want an investigation.
Corporations wouldn't be earning record profits if they were just raising prices to pass along costs. Wall Street is price gouging families—and making off with its fattest profit margins in 70+ years.
The only reason it’s hard is because Democratic politicians answer to their corporate donors — and donors want politicians’ message to deflect anger away from the problems everyone knows those donors are creating.

🫘 4 companies control 80% of the soy market
🍝 3 companies control 78% of the pasta market
🥣 3 companies control 72% of the cereal market
These companies hike prices with impunity—especially in uncertain times. We need competition.
