Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.
The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.
Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

The science is clear - SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.
Although fed judges ruled the admin can NOT withhold SNAP disbursements, it appears they plan to do just that.

Genius idea: Trump happily takes a billionaire’s cash to keep the military paid. So why not toss his $864M crypto windfall into SNAP? That way, kids and families won’t have to wonder if there’ll be turkey on Thanksgiving. 🍗💸

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.
