Mother, grandmother, laboratory scientist, book lover, cat lover, nature lover, science believer, never Trumper, and most certainly never voted for Elon effing Musk. Disgusted, but resisting any way that I can. You know - like being an actual good human.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.
UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.
This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

Despite the fact that a significant number of swing-district Republicans want to join Dems to vote for a clean bill to extend ACA subsidies which would easily pass the House, Mike Johnson refuses to bring it to the floor. NBC:

Kamlager-Dove: Biden put together a very restrictive plan around selling these chips to other countries. And Republicans were saying, “Hey, Biden, you’re not protecting our national security.” Fast forward to Trump, and he’s selling these things like you sell Snickers on the corner.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

This excellent PBS- Frontline documentary exposes what happened to individuals who were sent to CECOT and the abuse and horrific conditions they endured.
The Trump admin claimed they were dangerous criminals and gang members, but, the vast majority of them were never charged with any crimes.
