Live Nation settlement corruption, Trump pushes GOP on SAVE Act, and Democrats tie high food prices to corporate consolidation.
Hi there,
It’s Tuesday. At a Republican retreat, Donald Trump pushed members of Congress to pass the SAVE Act and enact strict new restrictions on voters before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, the Pentagon says today will be ‘our most intense day of strikes inside Iran as Israel locks down the West Bank while the world is distracted. And in the wake of this war, the Trump administration announced a settlement with Live Nation over its antitrust case against the ticketing monopoly.
The reported settlement involving Live Nation is not just a business or regulatory story—it raises serious questions about the influence of corporate power over public institutions. When one of the most dominant companies in the live entertainment industry reaches deals that shape enforcement outcomes and legal accountability, the public deserves to know whether justice is being negotiated behind closed doors rather than pursued in the open. When media outlets treat these outcomes as routine legal developments, they miss the larger story about regulatory capture and corporate power.
🖊️ Add your name to call on major news organizations to cover the Live Nation settlement as a corruption story—investigating the lobbying networks, political relationships, and enforcement decisions that allowed it to happen.
The public deserves journalism that follows the money, examines who benefits, and exposes how concentrated corporate power can bend accountability to its will.
