We're doing something a little different for this event, as we focus on the messages and strategies needed to win power—and then use it to build a political economy that supports freedom, opportunity, and shared prosperity.
A great first step that other countries would be smart to replicate! 🥳
On Wednesday, June 24th, we are hosting a day-long convening on breaking the power of the oligarchy and rebuilding it for all of us.
We hope you'll join us. RSVP to attend in person or virtually here: www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications...
"Despite the recent formation of a food antitrust task force, the Trump administration has largely gutted government capacity to take on food corporations, and it walked back some moderate steps to change harmful business practices."

Who do AI agents work for? You? Or the corporations that control them?
As AI agents become the gateway to information, shopping, and daily life, policymakers must ensure they serve users, not Big Tech monopolies.
NEW REPORT @sallyhubbard.bsky.social:
www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications...

A notable development from DOJ's ongoing scrutiny of the seed industry: foodandpower.substack.com/p/bayer-paus...
The agentic web is here. A new report from @sallyhubbard.bsky.social argues we must:
• Apply fiduciary duties to AI agents
• Ban exploitative surveillance
• Require transparency + auditing
• Promote competition
Before Big Tech locks up the future. www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications...
"The entire U.S. food system is remarkably consolidated, exploitative and fragile."
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com, @clairek.bsky.social & Sandeep Vaheesan explain what's gone wrong with our food system & the big changes needed to fix it. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/o...

On Wednesday, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority said it will force Google to give publishers real control over whether their content powers AI-generated search summaries.
It's a big deal.
