What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.

Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.

Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

Drug boats carry drugs, not people. Any boat that has more that one person on the boat was not a drug boats. They killed fishermen. Just keeping it real…

The regime doesn't give a damn about people overdosing on drugs. These bombings are to let Venezuela know they can and will be bombed if they don't give the regime what it wants -the oil reserves

They just want to kill people. Dress rehearsals. Like the attack on immigrants, deportations etc. We can’t possibly be blind to what is going on here? There is nothing good or positive that Trump & his dribblers are doing. Everything is bad, evil. Don’t think people have come to terms with that.

The distance between any port in Venezuela and the closest mainland US port is between 1,500-2,000 nautical miles. The fishing boats being blown up could never reach the US without refueling in the middle of the ocean. We’re not at war. This is nothing but premeditated cold blooded murder.

Those pesky facts. Everyone knows that Hegseth et al committed murder and is continuing to do so. It is appalling that the GOP is letting this happen

Someone needs to bring up the fact that trump pardoned the head of Silk Road, the Honduran pres, and members of El Chapo's family. He doesn't give a sh*t about drugs.

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Our forefathers built this nation on the backs of immigrants and the working class— you know, American taxpayers.

Anyone who says anything different is a moron or lying— and in this case, it’s both.

Meanwhile, we pay more in taxes as a percentage of our incomes than anyone in this cabinet.

Noem: Your forefathers built this nation on Indigenous blood, stole their lands, food & committed genocide. Your forefathers were the invaders, don't ever forget that. We'd rather have an immigrant grateful to live in this country than you who's been banned by Indigenous nations in your own state.

Well we know this clown administration has no respect for our military, has no knowledge of our armed forces responsibilities/rules & unfortunately the collateral damage for the shortcomings of this horrid admin will be our active duty members. Mark Kelly and his colleagues knew this would happen!
