Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

A court blocked the IRS from handing private taxpayer information over to ICE. The ruling found that the current data exchange procedure was in direct violation of protection procedures. We filed a similar lawsuit last year to stop this dangerous privacy violation.
