Big shout out to all who made it out to the various No Kings protests in the St. Louis region.

Observations from the #NoKings rally in STL today...

Crowd was quite large...
I cannot estimate well... but I would say it was a steady stream of protesters in the march. The line of protesters marching was likely well more than a mile long

New in PN: The Republican budget is an attack on the economy

"As a moral document, the Republican budget is an abomination, delivering largesse to the most comfortable and cruelty to the most vulnerable. As an economic plan, it could hardly be dumber."
The Republican budget is an attack on the American economy
Everywhere you look, it delivers blows to America's economic future.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.
