I am so damn tired of this

Danielle,

I want to tell you about the moment I knew Graham Platner was my kind of fighter.

When someone asked him: When did you first realize the system is rigged?

Without hesitation, he pointed to the 2008 crash — a time when millions of families lost their homes, their jobs, their pensions, and their savings. People were cheated. People were lied to. People were trapped.

And Graham's answer? "When none of the bankers went to jail."

We need more leaders like Graham in Congress — ones who will call out what’s wrong with our system, stand up to powerful interests, and fight to unrig the economy for working people.

That's why I’ve endorsed him for Senate — and why I’m asking for your support today. Will you please split a donation of $100, or anything you can, to support Graham Platner and our movement? Your support will help send Graham to the Senate so we can finally unrig a system that's been stacked against working people for too long.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically:

Here's the truth: There are two kinds of people in Washington.

Those who go along to get along, who have ideas at the margins, who want to just make a tiny bit of change here and there.

And then there are people who understand that when the system is this broken and this rigged, and when billionaires have this much control, it is no longer time for changes at the margin. It is time for big, structural change.

I am so damn tired of hearing about what we can’t do. We need someone with the ambition to fight for what we can do.

Graham Platner is the kind of fighter for working people we need more of in Washington.

He’s ready to get out there and fight for universal child care.

For passing a wealth tax and making billionaires pay their fair share.

For universal health care.

For strengthening Social Security.

For cleaning up the corruption in Washington and holding this administration accountable.

For taking on the wealthy special interests who have gotten their way for too long.

I can’t wait to take on these fights alongside Graham. And we will — if we can sustain our grassroots movement, vote out Susan Collins, and take back our majority in the Senate.

That’s why I’m asking you to split a donation between Graham’s campaign now and our movement. This is one of the most critical elections of the midterms, and we need to ensure Graham has the resources he needs to compete and win.

Thanks for being part of this,

Elizabeth

re: Kevin Warsh

Danielle,

This past week, I sat across from Kevin Warsh — Donald Trump's pick to run the Federal Reserve — and I asked him a simple question:

Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

He couldn’t — or rather he wouldn't — answer that. This is the man Trump wants running our independent central bank.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he does not want an independent Fed. In fact, he has said, and I quote, “anybody that disagrees with me will never be Fed Chairman.”

Why try to end the independence of the Fed? Because Trump’s economic failures are causing him political problems, and he wants the Fed to use monetary policies to artificially juice the economy in the short term — and this is his last chance to do that before the November elections.

Trump himself said interest rates will drop "when Kevin gets in." Not when the economy needs it. Not when the data supports it. When his guy is in the chair.

Those interest rates determine what you pay on your mortgage, your car loan, and your credit card. But Trump just wants his guy to use his power to manipulate the economy for political reasons.

Trump having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give him access to the Fed’s powerful authorities that could be used to enrich himself, his family, and his Wall Street buddies by granting special accounts to his family’s crypto company or bailouts to his friends on Wall Street if they get into trouble.

In other words, a Fed under Trump’s control creates more opportunities for Trump’s corruption.

So, no matter how “independent” this guy claims he might be as chair of the Fed, if he can’t even assert reality and directly say that Trump lost the 2020 election, can we believe him?

No.

Just as a cherry on top: He’s got more than $100 million in investments he has refused to disclose. I asked him if any of those investments were affiliated with the Trump family, Chinese-controlled companies, financing vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein, or someone whose whole business is betting on what the Fed will do.

He also wouldn't answer that question.

Look, Kevin Warsh sucked up to Donald Trump just enough to snag his dream job. But the Senate has the power to deny him this position — and we should not be aiding and abetting Donald Trump's illegal takeover of the Fed by installing his chosen sock puppet.

We can keep up the pressure on this, Danielle. Add your name if you agree that the Senate should not confirm Kevin Warsh to run the Federal Reserve.

Severance

Today, Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted to approve the $111 billion merger with Paramount Skydance — a deal that would put two of Hollywood's most powerful studios under the same corporate roof.

This deal is a nightmare — resulting in a less competitive market and one Trump-aligned billionaire controlling huge parts of the media.

Think about it this way: If there’s one guy making all the decisions about what gets made in Hollywood, our stories will all start to look the same and they will align with the taste of that one person.

Take a show like Severance for example.

Severance would've never been made if one guy controlled all of Hollywood.

The original idea was written more than a decade ago. And creator Dan Erickson was shopping it around, and couldn’t get anyone to bite.

But because there are multiple studios he could have pitched it to, he kept going. And eventually Apple decided to take a chance on what ended up becoming a fabulously successful show.

Don’t just take my word for it, here’s what Severance director Ben Stiller had to say in response to the Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders’ decision this morning:

There are already very few buyers out there. Original ideas and non legacy IP is extremely hard to get made by a major studio or network. The winnowing down of choices results in less opportunity for new voices and diverse viewpoints in what we all are given an opportunity to see. Its already been challenging for years, and the merger will only make this worse.

That’s what is at risk here. There will be less opportunities for great shows, great movies, great stories, great voices, and great art to break out. Less actors and writers and workers getting a chance to make something different, something meaningful, something bold.

With this merger, HBO, CNN, CBS News, Showtime, TBS, Comedy Central, TNT, Paramount+, TLC, HGTV, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Animal Planet, CBS Sports, Adult Swim, TeenNick, Boomerang, Cinemax, Cooking Channel, Food Network, Discovery Channel, Science Channel, The CW Network, Travel Channel, BET, MTV, and VH1 will all combine into one giant company under David Ellison.

That's just one reason why this is a terrible decision: When it comes to what stories are told and what news is reported, that’s dangerous for democracy.

It’s also bad news for fair pricing. If one guy controls all of these shows and streaming services, he can get you to pay any price he wants to watch your favorite shows. Because where else are you going to go if you don’t like it?

But here's the good news: this merger isn't a done deal.

State attorneys general across the country are stepping up to stop this antitrust disaster. And I’m going to continue to pull every lever I can to put a stop to this kind of corporate concentration.

Elizabeth

RFK Jr’s hearing

Congress questioned HHS Secretary Kennedy this week on a whole bunch of issues: Vaccine misinformation, health care cuts, and cancer research cuts.

I had the chance to ask RFK Jr. about TrumpRx and these “massive” deals for patients that he’s been boasting about.

Right after Trump and the Republicans cut health care for millions of families, the president launched his TrumpRx website as the answer for Americans who were worried about health care costs.

The website invites patients to “find the world's lowest prices on prescription drugs.”

He claimed that TrumpRx has reduced drug prices by as much as 600%.

600%.

In that instance, drug companies would be paying us to take their drugs, which doesn’t make any sense.

Health Secretary Kennedy explained that President Trump has a “different way of calculating percentages” and that there’s “two ways” of calculating percentages — saying “if you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction.”

What! So we’re just re-inventing math now?

In his own example, that would be a 98.33% reduction. But 600% sounds a whole lot flashier than 98.33% — if that’s even true.

But there’s another layer to this: TrumpRx is actually steering patients to buy more expensive brand-name drugs to pad the profits of Big Pharma companies.

Let’s do some real math here: There’s a heartburn medication called Protonix that is currently sold for $200 on TrumpRx. But a generic version of the same drug sold at Costco is just $16.

In the real world, $200 is a heck of a lot more expensive than $16. But TrumpRx is not promoting the cheaper option — just the more expensive brand-name drug.

Promoting brand-name drugs over cheaper generic options of the same exact drug is a tried-and-true Big Pharma tactic to get people to buy more expensive drugs.

The so-called “discount” is actually a price hike.

Too often, the TrumpRx website is nothing more than another Trump scam — just like Trump University and Trump Steaks, and just about everything else associated with his name.

This time they’re targeting and tricking sick Americans with fake drug “discounts” that actually help Big Pharma’s bottom line — and I’m not standing for it.

If they cared at all about taking on Big Pharma, they wouldn’t use these shady tactics to lie about drug “savings” on TrumpRx.

If they cared at all about making health care more affordable, they wouldn't have kicked millions of Americans off their health insurance.

I’m going to keep exposing the truth, forcing transparency and oversight, and fighting to lower health care costs for patients.

Elizabeth

I want to hear how it’s going for you, Danielle

Danielle,

Donald Trump promised the American people he'd lower costs and make life more affordable. He has broken every single one of those promises.

Since Trump’s started a war with Iran, gas prices have increased sharply — hitting families every time they fill up the tank. Grocery bills keep climbing. Household energy costs have surged.

If you're one of the millions of Americans doing the math at the end of the month and coming up short, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that the Trump White House cares so little about how their decisions affect working families.

I'm sorry that while you're stretching every dollar, Trump continues to shovel even more wealth into the pockets of billionaires and wealthy corporations that bankrolled his presidency.

We’re keeping up the fight to right the wrongs of our economy, and your story plays an important role in this work. Because your story is proof, Danielle. When Trump goes on Fox News and claims the economy is booming, your experience can cut through the spin and make a difference.

Have gas prices changed how you drive, where you shop, or what you can afford? Have rising costs forced you to make impossible choices? Has Trump's economy left your family worse off? Let us know here →

SHARE YOUR STORY

Let's be clear: this isn't happening by accident.

Trump handed trillion-dollar tax cuts to billionaires and Big Oil. He gutted the consumer protections families depend on. He's let corporations price-gouge without a single consequence. And while hardworking people struggle to keep the lights on, Trump is courting billionaires at his new gold-encrusted ballroom at the White House.

We see what's happening.

Behind every job report and every headline is a real person. Someone putting off a car repair they can't afford. Someone standing in the grocery aisle is doing the math. Someone working two jobs, doing everything right, and still falling behind at the end of the month.

Trump’s economy is crushing working people. I’m raising the alarm about these blinking red vital signs — and I’m going to keep countering Trump’s lies about his economy with the facts. One way you can help is to share your story with me. How have you been impacted by Trump’s economy? What concerns are keeping you up at night? Is there a “vital sign” of your financial health you’re worried about?

I’m doing everything I can to hold Trump and his billionaire allies accountable, and build an economy that actually works for everyone, not just those at the top.

Elizabeth

Elon Musk’s wealth vs. the Average American’s

Its tax day, and there is no better day to talk about how our tax code is rigged for those at the top.

Lets take a look at wealth inequality in America and compare the net worth of the average American to Elon Musks. $124k is the wealth of the average American. How does that compare to Elon Musk? Keep scrolling down.

Keep going...Chart ends at $827,000,000,000

Yep, Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American.

Yet, our tax code has allowed billionaires like him to pay little to no federal income tax — even while their wealth skyrockets.

We’re fighting to change that.

My wealth tax plan would place a two-cent per dollar tax on people with a net worth above $50 million — and an additional cent on net worths over a billion.

This small tax on America’s richest would generate huge amounts of revenue totaling at least $6 trillion — revenue that we can invest in lowering costs for working families.

Add your name if you’re with us: It’s time for the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes.
