The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

It’s about time Dems become incensed! Will they manage to hold out on nominations?
Donald Trump wants to turn the Federal Reserve into his own bank.
We need to pause all Fed nominations amid his illegal takeover attempt and hold a hearing on how it will raise costs on American families instead.
