Amazon has been coordinating with vendors and major retailers — including Target, Walmart, Chewy, and Home Depot — to raise prices across the market. This is a widespread scheme spanning years across markets — and it’s illegal. We’re fighting to stop it.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

NEW: Amazon has a scheme to offer the lowest prices – by raising prices everywhere else. If a vendor offers a lower price elsewhere, Amazon allegedly forces them to raise it, making you pay more than you should. We uncovered Amazon setting prices at Walmart and Target.

Amazon caught colluding with other companies to fix prices of popular products sold online “Amazon is working with retailers including Target, Walmart, Chewy, Levi Strauss, Best Buy and Home Depot to raise prices” Private messages sent by Amazon threatening companies to change prices on different sites “In one example, he claims Amazon sent Levi Strauss links to khaki pants being sold for lower prices on Walmart. com. In the message, Amazon allegedly said it hoped these can get resolved over the next few days. The next day. According to the Attorney General, Levi Strauss reported back to Amazon saying it had spoken to Walmart and Walmart had partnered with us to raise the khaki's price up to $29.99 immediately In another example, Amazon allegedly emailed pet treat manufacturer Chewy a list of products with price increases to convince the vendor Chewy should be aware of this update and follow suit accordingly. Two days later, the Attorney General's office claims the prices that went up on Amazon immediately went up on Chewy These were not suggestions. They were directives, often backed by threats of penalties if vendors failed to comply.” We won’t have real capitalism in America. We have giant monopolies that own and control everything Crimes like this should bring $100+ million dollar fines per corporation and prison time under the Sherman Act I doubt anything will happen. Nobody ever goes to jail One Big Club

NEW: Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices. They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell items at a lower price than Walmart. They're using their size and reach to squeeze out stores across America.

Americans buy 25% of their groceries at Walmart but the idea that Walmart has the lowest prices because of purchasing power, might only be partially true. According to a recent, unsealed federal lawsuit, Walmart used its status as best customer to influence Pepsi into surveilling and forcing Walmart competitors to RAISE their prices so that it was impossible for them to sell Pepsi for less than Walmart did. "It's hard to imagine that Pepsi is the only major supplier Walmart has this arrangement with." Is it legal? Not at all. But our government turned a blind eye to it. Source: perfectunion and ericgardner1 I'll post the full video below.

Illegal aliens and overregulation. The previous administration allowed these to burden housing supply and raise prices for hardworking Americans. Both need to be addressed to combat the housing affordability issue across the country.

It has been 100 days since Donald Trump plunged us into this war with Iran. The cost has been high and it is rising. 13 servicemembers. Dozens of civilians, including children. And skyrocketing prices at home and around the globe. 100 days too many.

FTC documents show Pepsi is price fixing The FTC looked at internal emails with Pepsi and Walmart, they found they act as one company and Pepsi even takes action against grocery stores and other chains like Target if they price Pepsi as cheaply as Walmart does “The FTC looked at a bunch of internal Pepsi emails and communications. The executives at Pepsi would talk about Walmart's prices as our prices. As if this is, this is all one big company — Big rivals like Target, small mom and pop shops, regional chains, everywhere it could keep an eye on it, it did. And where it found that Pepsi prices in those other stores were getting low enough to really compete with Walmart, with all of the discounts and all of the other things that it was giving Walmart, it took action against those other stores. What does that look like? It reduced their deals, it reduced the discounts they were giving these other retailers. It even increased their wholesale prices, started to kind of ratchet it up more and more every year so that the price of Pepsi products at every other store that wasn't a Walmart were artificially higher for the consumer than they would have been if there was actual competition between Walmart and these stores. These stores wanted to push the prices down, but Pepsi simply wouldn't let them by charging them more” This is price fixing and illegal
