Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Nasty, ugly stuff from Epstein to Ice
to Trump lashing out because he cannot control events. But WE can…by focusing on health care, affordability, masked men beating up clergy, survivor justice and organizing for next great Election Day. BTW: never heard of someone not knowing why they got an MRI.

Remember “sleepy Joe Biden“ ? Meet “fast asleep Donald Trump”..snoozing at his press conference. Between his sleeping & GOP Congress on vacation, & Trump appealing decision to actually feed hungry kids, we’re in world of hurt. But help is on the way as we organize for every election going forward.

About novel, “the great Gatsby”.

The federal government is shut down because Trump & Congressional Republicans want higher healthcare costs for working people, even stripping care from millions.
Why? To give tax giveaways to billionaires, while expanding the fastest growing class in America: the working poor.
