Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.
In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Good job firing the national security officials who DIDN'T accidentally add a reporter to a Signal chat. The orange clown is rolling out the red carpet for Russia, practically begging for increased election interference in 2026 and 2028. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
