Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.
California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.
No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.

Not only is California the 4th largest economy in the world—it’s growing faster than any of the top three: U.S., China, and Germany.
Red state Republicans love to hate us… but they sure don’t mind cashing the checks.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

Everyone in Pete Hegseth’s meeting was knowingly colluding at commiting crimes at the highest level of government … just by participating.
Pete’s incompetence in including a Journalist just reveals that the criminal activity is rampant.

Including the wrong recipient is a mistake. Using a non-government platform for classified information is a crime.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
