This merger should’ve been blocked. Instead, it will concentrate American media under Trump-aligned billionaires, threaten thousands of jobs, and give the ultra-rich even more power. Our economy and democracy pay the price when power is concentrated in the hands of a few.

Mike Rogers was a leading advocate for boosting opioid prescriptions. He took over $1M from Big Pharma. He has always prioritized personal profit over the health and safety of Michiganders. That's not public safety. Watch our new ad, "Safe."
