A Closer Look: The maliversary of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
We imagine you have a lot going on in the lead-up to the Fourth of July and America 250 celebrations. Many of our friends and neighbors are putting the final touches on their parade floats, buying up hot dogs for their barbecues, or just trying to stay cool amidst the heat wave making its way across the country right now. As for us? We’re reflecting on the first anniversary of the signing of President Trump and congressional Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
A Closer Look: The path to our first trillionaire started 250 years ago
We feel it’s a bit ironic—and, frankly, eerie—that we’re witnessing the birth of our first trillionaire on the eve of America’s 250th birthday. For this week’s Closer Look, we want to highlight the Founding Fathers’ complicated role in delivering America its first trillionaire 250 years after they declared independence from the British monarchy.
A Closer Look: Young people need the Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act
As a still-young (kinda) person myself, and the mother of a young person who will be starting his college journey next year, I worry a lot about what we are doing—and more importantly, not doing!—to ensure that young people still have a chance at the American Dream.
It's only been five weeks, but the good news on unions just keeps piling up—so much so that we feel we are in for a repeat of the summer of 2023. You may remember that was what organizers called “Hot Labor Summer,” given the historic victories that unions notched for workers across a variety of industries.
A Closer Look: What we’ve learned in the five years since January 6th
Yesterday marked the five-year anniversary of one of the most shameful days in American history: the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. Time has not diluted our conviction that what we witnessed five years ago was an unprecedented attack on American democracy fueled by Donald Trump’s lies.
For our last Closer Look of 2025, we wanted to reflect on the year we’ve had by sharing our top five most read Closer Looks of the year, along with a few of our personal favorites. We’ll also share some notable hits we had in our traditional earned media and social media campaigns.
Like many Americans, one of our favorite films to watch this time of year is Frank Capra’s 1946 It’s a Wonderful Life. Outside of being a holiday classic, it is consistently ranked as one of the greatest movies ever made.
When we think about the holidays and the season of giving, we can’t help but feel some nostalgia for Toys “R” Us, the toy superstore which closed its doors in 2018. But in all honesty that nostalgia brings with it anger towards the two-word culprit responsible for Toys “R” Us’ demise: private equity.
President Trump can’t seem to make up his mind as to whether America is suffering an affordability crisis. One day he declares himself the “AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT” on social media for his efforts to lower prescription drug prices. Three days later, he says that affordability “doesn’t mean anything to anybody” and is a “fake narrative” and “con job” cooked up by Democrats.
That’s a Wrap: Patriotic Millionaires’ 2025 Fall Member Summit
Last week, our millionaire members flocked to Washington, D.C., from every corner of the country to do two hugely important things: discuss the biggest problem plaguing America today—MONEY—and get the message out about the solution we have to it: The MONEY Agenda.
A Closer Look: Obscene CEO pay is bad for business and society
CEOs getting paid 281 times more than their workers is most assuredly a problem. But one CEO receiving a trillion-dollar pay package that’s 17 million times more than what their workers are paid is a whole different story.
A Closer Look: Ghosts, witches, vampires…and broligarchs?!
We are in the final days of “spooky season,” but luckily for us, we don’t get scared by all the ghosts, witches, vampires, and black cats that make a big appearance this time of year. But what we are spooked by is the inner workings of the minds of broligarchs.
A Closer Look: To billionaire or not to billionaire, that is the question
There are nuanced conversations to be had in defining how much is too much when it comes to personal wealth. Today, we’re ready to take on that challenge and start by saying this: $1 billion is more than enough.
A Closer Look: Extreme wealth is a global problem. We have global solutions.
If money knows no borders, it shouldn’t be surprising that neither does our message. It’s universal and relevant to countries across the globe. That’s why each fall and spring, it’s important to us that we take our message to some of the world’s brightest economic and financial leaders during the Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
