"Force underpaid workers to smile will bring back customers" is the 2025 version of "beatings will continue until morale improves"
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Not much new here, but reiterates that Paul is threatening to withhold unanimous consent to drag out the shutdown unless his amendment is adapted that would save the THC industry.

Speakers, don’t assume the knowledge level of your audience. If you have a new person there and you say “I assume everyone here is familiar with this” they don’t learn anything and they probably feel bad about themselves. Better to just explain the thing. The people who are familiar with it can deal

Trump learned an important lesson here. Nothing will make multi-millionaire, privileged Democratic congresspeople (and their most vocal donors) cave faster than messing with air travel before a holiday. He arbitrarily cut flights, and Dems immediately folded. What a bunch of country club pansies.

I will not be supporting Latonya Reeves for Congress. I don't believe she will be a collaborative partner nor a progressive ally for CD5 residents.
I will be supporting Ilhan Omar's reelection. She invests in our communities, our party, and in cross-jurisdictional partnerships.
