NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.
“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the uprising against Gov. Scott Walker & Act 10 in 2011 set the stage for Occupy Wall Street and the revival of anti-capitalist politics in the 2010s.
The fight against Act 10 was pivotal in reshaping our political culture — glad to see it finally taken out.

Near me, Stop & Shop is the "mid-scale" grocery store, while Aldi is more affordable.
I routinely see Stop & Shop workers shopping at Aldi, still in uniform from their shift.
When workers can't afford to shop where they work, that's probably a sign things are very wrong.
