The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.
But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Yes, things are terrible. But also they have been equally or more terrible often in this country, and we have something now that we usually have not: widespread opposition.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.
So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

All workers deserve a living wage, but farmworkers deserve similar legislation in every state if we want to keep eating 3 meals every day.
A bill creating a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine has been signed into law.
Starting next year, farmworkers' minimum rate will rise to $14.65 an hour.
Currently, their minimum wage is only $7.25/hr.

“No.” is a complete sentence. Well said.
When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

call your Republican senators and reps if you have them
We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice.
The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.
Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.
We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.
