Schumer’s message is strikingly aggressive in one key area: drawing a direct line between the struggles of the working class and the increasingly monopolistic growth of the country’s largest corporations:
 

‘Right now, there is nothing to stop vulture capitalists from egregiously raising the price of lifesaving drugs without justification. We’re going to fight for rules to stop prescription drug price gouging and demand that drug companies justify price increases to the public. And we’re going to push for empowering Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for older Americans.
 

‘Right now our antitrust laws are designed to allow huge corporations to merge, padding the pockets of investors but sending costs skyrocketing for everything from cable bills and airline tickets to food and health care. We are going to fight to allow regulators to break up big companies if they’re hurting consumers and to make it harder for companies to merge if it reduces competition.’
 

Did you hear that? That’s the sound of Elizabeth Warren tightening her grip on the Democratic Party.

That Schumer, the archetypal corporate-friendly Democrat, would ape the language of Warren, Sanders, and Teachout suggests that at least on this front, the populists have won the argument.

More of this, please.

Fun ideas for potential summer goth aesthetics:

  • Morticia Addams on Vacation (dark dresses with an accent of bright flowers, a small flamingo print incorporated into shades of gray and purple, black vintage bikinis for moonbathing)
  • Margarita Goth (Jimmy Buffett echoing on a weird loop in the distance, black lipstick smeared on a salted rim, the too-sweet acid smell of limes)
  • Fruit Bat (more limes. just, lots of limes, mangoes. pineapples. Eyeliner to resemble a bat’s wing, toenail polish coordinated with your favorite fruit, and always a pair of black flip-flops)

my daily attire mixes various elements of these, and let me tell you all, it is magnificent
