Trump’s Acting US Attorney for Delaware announces she is following Alina Habba and stepping down: “The people that think they have chased me away will soon find out they are mistaken. I did not get here by being a shrinking violet. God has a plan.”

I’ve been out of the States for over 3 months. I’ve entered the UK, France, Italy, and Albania without any contact from border or customs enforcement. Smooth and stress-free. So, from Albania, as a burgeoning world traveler and U.S. Citizen: Fuck Trump and the GOP.

Although the Ohio governor's race is not ranked toss-up (yet), “Amy Acton (D) is polling neck and neck with Vivek Ramaswamy (R) according to a new survey.”

Sen. Jon Husted (R) and former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) are also tied for the Ohio Senate race.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
