When wages don’t cover basic needs, taxpayers end up subsidizing the gap while corporations profit. Supporting workers with fair pay isn’t radical, it’s responsible economic policy.
Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Accountability has to apply to everyone, even judges. If Boasberg really helped weaponize the system against Americans for political reasons, that’s a serious breach of trust. Time to clean house and make sure justice stays blind, not partisan. 🇺🇸
