You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

When I was pregnant, I tried to eat well, stay healthy & protect myself from undue stress because the baby could be affected.
For this reason, ICE had a long time policy not to detain pregnant people.
But now they are detaining them, brutalizing them & denying medical attention.

July, Dr. Tidmarsh warned that the initiative risks injecting politics into what should be a strictly science-based review process. When experts raising red flags are silenced instead of heard, the public loses trust and patients lose protection. Science should lead, not politics.

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.
FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records.
We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility.
They’re disappearing people.
No due process. No accountability.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.
