Our polling found that people don't believe elected officials can accomplish lowering prices without taking on the power of the wealthy & large corporations.
So, call it what you want but voters know our economy needs major, structural changes. @AlexSJacquez for @ScrippsNews
People are fed up with the economy right now and they want major action taken.
But neither political party is stepping up.
Our exclusive polling found voters believe both parties are beholden to donors and special interests – not working families like them.
Our exclusive polling shows the majority of voters want politicians to tackle high prices directly.
@GovSherrillNJ showed how it can be done by freezing utility rates at a time of soaring costs for working families.

Earlier this morning @owenslindsay1 joined Mornings with Zerlina to discuss the latest polling from @Groundwork showing how voters are demanding bold economic reform.

"What people want to see is fairness."
Companies and billionaires have been dodging their taxes, while working families pay their fair share.
Our @AlexSJacquez breaks down how rigged our current system is for @scrippsnews.
No one earns $1 billion.
As @AlexSJacquez notes for @ScrippsNews 📝
"Elon Musk's companies would not exist without the federal government, without taxpayer dollars, providing loans, grants, & government contracts to able to scale the rocket launches & electric vehicles."
🚨NEW polling from us & @HartResearch dropped this week with a clear & pointed message for candidates running in 2026:
Talking about affordability isn’t enough. Voters want their leaders to name who broke the economy & actually fight to fix it.
Here’s what the data says. 🧵
Dems do face a serious credibility gap.
71% of voters believe Dems talk about the working class but don’t follow through.
67% worry Dems are too cozy with corporate donors to fight for working people.
A majority say Dems look out for billionaires more than people like them.
The candidates who will win in 2026 aren't the ones with the longest policy lists. They're the ones who say plainly: the economy is broken, here's who did it, and here's how we're going to fight back.
That's the winning agenda. groundworkaction.org/researc…

The price of jet fuel is jacking up the price of shipping for every American. But that won’t stop the VP from flying on the taxpayer dime to support Hungary’s embattled authoritarian leader.

The Trump DOD wants $200B for his Iran War, and his NASA pick now wants even more for “President Trump’s moon base.”
Here on Earth, we have to make some sacrifices.

Trump's war in Iran means higher prices on gas, food, and utilities.
But some people are getting by with a little help from their friends.
Welcome to @TrumpAffordable.
We’re teaming up with @Public_Citizen & @ClimatePower to keep a running tab on how Donald Trump is making life more expensive for you while he and his billionaire buddies cash out.
Trump’s bold solution for the energy cost crisis he created? Spend $1 billion of your tax dollars to make it worse.
