A new Public Citizen report cross-references 205 dropped federal enforcement actions with $210.5 million in super PAC donations from the companies that benefited — documenting not just pay-to-play, but the functional privatization of federal law enforcement.
A Blue Cross Blue Shield analysis found that AI-powered billing tools drove $942 million in additional healthcare costs by flagging diagnoses with no corresponding treatment. The technology isn't making care more efficient — it's making billing more profitable.
A new Public Citizen report finds Trump's crypto ventures — meme coin, governance tokens, and NFT trading cards — left retail investors $4.7 billion in the hole while the president collected $635 million in licensing fees on assets he acquired without investing a dollar.
America's 100 lowest-wage S&P 500 corporations spent $718 billion on stock buybacks between 2019 and 2025 while their CEOs earned 614 times median worker pay — and lobbied to cut the food and healthcare programs their own employees rely on.
The White House finalized an AI safety testing framework — then decided only the companies being tested would see the results. That's not oversight. It's a liability shield built with industry input.
A new GAO report finds Amazon workers' use of food assistance nearly tripled as the company's profits grew by $66 billion. This is not a poverty wages story — it is a corporate subsidy story, and taxpayers are the ones writing the check.
The Trump administration has spent $3.825 billion in taxpayer money propping up coal plants the market had already condemned — and working Americans are paying higher energy bills to cover the debt.
Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are reporting rising emissions and water use as AI infrastructure expands — while disclosing only what they choose. The real story isn't the gap between companies. It's why no law exists to close it.
Peer-reviewed research links private equity hospital acquisitions to more than 20,000 excess deaths. Regulators have had the data for years. The industry kept acquiring.
Trump's financial disclosures show he bought roughly $500,000 in Abbott Laboratories stock before his DOJ shut down a criminal investigation into the infant formula maker — a company linked to at least nine infant deaths and a $500,000 donor to his inaugural fund.
The world's largest banks increased fossil fuel financing by 8 percent last year, committing $906 billion to oil, gas, and coal projects — even as they dismantled the voluntary climate commitments they had made in public. A new report documents not a failure of implementation, but a failure of the e
A liability shield for Uber and Lyft was tucked into must-pass transportation legislation — bypassing public debate while thousands of sexual assault survivors are still pursuing civil claims against both companies.
When the U.S. embassy in London formally objected to Britain's proposed under-16 social media ban, it was not acting as a neutral diplomatic observer. It was protecting the revenue models of American tech companies — using diplomatic infrastructure to do what lobbyists do.
The White House is floating a government equity stake in AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic. The companies lobbying for it are the same ones the government is supposed to regulate — and a shareholder has reasons a regulator should not have.
Ford just launched a $2 billion energy subsidiary to power AI data centers. The electricity gold rush is real — and so is the $40 billion cancellation wave it's already producing. The question isn't whether the boom is happening. It's who pays when it breaks.
The SEC's three Republican commissioners have formally moved to kill the 2024 climate disclosure rule. The real casualty isn't climate policy — it's the mechanism that would have let investors verify whether corporate climate pledges were real.
