Child labor is to keep poor workers poor! Constant exploitation by greedy employers. That’s why it’s been banned for 70 years. And dangerous.#ChildLabor

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

First they came for the penny and I ignored it! Then they came for the nickel but I didn’t care about the nickel either, then they came for the dime….inflation kills! Save the penny!#Penny
You could buy a loaf of bread with a cent back in revolutionary times. The life of a penny would have been sprightly then, but in recent years the coins have spent longer and longer lying around
Farewell to the American penny
Production of one-cent coins in America will cease in 2026. The penny’s life has been long and fruitful, but its time has finally come

Jeffries FINALLY has decided to take the gloves off. Thank God.

Now if a few republicans who still have some decency, self respect, love their family and church WILL STAND UP AGAINST CHILD SEX ABUSE.

Release the Epstein files!
Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

NEW: Under DOJ standards and requirements, people seeking pardons generally must wait five years after release, demonstrate good conduct and remorse, and file petitions through the Office of the Pardon Attorney.

Trump has largely abandoned that process.
How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters
The president’s second term has brought a flood of clemency for allies and donors — as well as felons, like him, who were convicted of financial wrongdoing.

Our assessment warned of this pattern: delegitimize investigators, glorify offenders, and erode trust in law enforcement until loyalty replaces the law.
