Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.

The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

The administration is going to try to frame events in Los Angeles as wild violent rioting to justify brute force.

Indeed, they already are.

Question everything you hear.

Look for truth.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and
with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Remember how Trump accused Biden of abandoning North Carolina's Republican communities after Hurricane Helene?

Well their governor was just denied additional FEMA aid by Trump today.

Josh Hawley is publicly begging for FEMA aid for Missouri. So is Sarah Huckabee Sanders in Arkansas.

Trump is fixating on Harvard because they represent a community that he could never be a part of based upon merit.

This is at the core of every malignant narcissist's pathology, deep insecurity and a bottomless craving for acceptance and legitimacy.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

Q: VIETNAM wants tariffs dropped. So what does Trump get?

A: A golf course for his family, and Starlink access:

TLDR: The Trump family is looting 🇺🇸 foreign policy.

Elon Musk doesn't care about efficiency, and here's the proof:

I called for an investigation into Musk's cuts at the IRS. Because he fired so many staff that audit wealthy tax cheats, we could lose $323 BILLION in tax revenue over the next decade.

Nothing efficient about that.
