Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

It’s funny how often grifter pseudoscience results in “answers” that blame, punish, and control women, isn’t it?

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s.

We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again.

Pass it along…

So, now we're listening to a dictator about how to run elections? Mail-in ballots allow rural, elderly and disabled South Dakotans to vote. Don’t let their voices be silenced.
