Come and take it!
The 40-hour workweek is so firmly embedded in American culture that we take it as a given. But for much of the country’s history, it was a pipe dream.
How Did We Get a 40-Hour Workweek and Has It Had Its Day?
The eight-hour workday has its roots in the 1860s. But it didn’t catch on for a many decades after that.

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.
If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

One thing I’ve missed in the discussion of whether or not the Senate Democrats are folding or being strategic about trying to negotiate an end to the shutdown is, suppose they do reach a deal; it will still have to pass the House again. What will compel Johnson to bring the House back into session?

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

A TikToker did a social experiment where she called churches to get help to buy formula to feed her baby.
Every church repeatedly declined to help.
TikTok now can’t stop talking about the experiment.

Trump may tell Americans — even his own supporters — that they won’t pay the tariffs.
But at the same time, his own lawyers are arguing before the Supreme Court that American businesses and consumers pay the tariffs.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants air traffic controllers who are not being paid to "show up because it's their job." How about Congressional Republicans show up and do their job by ensuring all federal workers are paid, travelers are safe, and our healthcare is protected? seiu.co/482c2SH
What to know about the nationwide FAA-mandated flight reductions
The FAA has ordered a 4% reduction in operations at 40 major airports starting Friday, which will ramp up to 10% by Nov. 14.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.
