During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

Here’s a deal. He gets paid if DOJ releases all the evidence and information they collected on his crimes. Everything.
The NYT is reporting that Donald Trump is demanding $230 Million from the DOJ for past cases against him.
That means...he's suing us. Because that's who would pay for it.

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:
While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.
Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

Now Kimell, another cancellation of free speech by MAGA, ABC, and Disney. I refuse to let fear of a fascist regime shut my mouth and intimidate me.

This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.

What a cursed sentence (gift link)
“The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

Trump must feel jealous and left out of his handlers’ club.
When North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visits China next week for a military parade, it will be his debut at a gathering of foreign leaders for a rare meeting of China, Russia and North Korea.
In a first, Kim Jong Un will attend a gathering of leaders with both Putin and Xi

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.
Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Yay! Some good news.
Keeping MN communities safe is one of my top priorities in Congress – and in today’s digital age, that means making the internet safer too.
Today, my bipartisan bill to ban the publication of nonconsensual images and deepfakes online became law. This legislation is a win for every Minnesotan.

Despite exploding technology and increased worker productivity, millions of Americans are worse off financially today than they were 52 years ago.
Meanwhile, the rich get much richer.
