A major pillar of corporate globalization is crumbling. ISDS lets corporations sue govt’s over public interest policies in shady int’l courts. But that system is now on the ropes thanks to a series of recent victories of our global movement. @ryangrim breaks it down. 🧵
We Support Wells Fargo @WellsFargo Shareholders Demanding More Corporate Lobbying Disclosure at their annual shareholder meeting on 4/30 #LobbyingDisclosure
No drug is worth anything if people cannot afford it. Today, I am launching an investigation into the outrageous prices Americans are charged for Ozempic and Wegovy. No one should have to pay up to $1,349 a month for prescription drugs that cost less than $5 to manufacture.

How do you go from $5 to $1300? By flushing your conscience down the toilet, and putting obscene profits over the health of the American people. Big Pharma is out of control. Now, Bernie @SenSanders is taking them to task:

We are going to have a "hotter than normal" summer. (Actually, it's going to be hotter than normal every summer for the indefinite future.) We still don't have heat protections (water, shade, breaks) in place for workers. FL just banned local heat protections.
The administration just unveiled a rule extending mandatory overtime pay to an estimated 4 million salaried workers! What a week! This will help so many. @Public_Citizen
The Trump trial in NYC this week isn’t about a sex scandal. It’s about whether or not Trump hid information from voters to sway an election. In a democracy, we take election interference seriously.
Never believe the BS of Big Oil propagandists who say protecting the environment hurts workers. Acting on climate change is about protecting the future of everyone on this planet, including workers facing the harms of climate change today.

Big Oil Republicans are SO intellectually honest 🙄 Our very bright guy @TysonSlocum: “Fossil fuels are hurting both struggling people & the environment.” Big Oil Republicans: “So you’re saying fossil fuels are amazing, but you want to hurt people & ruin the climate?”🤦

Banning noncompetes is life-changing for millions of workers. This action will allow people to switch jobs or start a business, boosting wages, spurring innovation & lowering health care costs. Massachusetts workers stand to gain $2 billion in higher pay. A big Biden win!
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.
Five years ago, there was an explosion in Rep. @DanCrenshawTX's district. The congressman now wants to roll back the new rule that could prevent such incidents across the country. Did he forget the KMCO explosion? Read our new op-ed in @ChronOpinion houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

New @Public_Citizen report: DOJ efforts to ramp up corporate crime enforcement remain insufficient, as the DOJ prosecuted only 113 corporate offenders in 2023. The ongoing overuse of leniency deals for big corporations that break the law continues to undermine deterrence.
