In just five days, Trump’s administration indicted a Democratic member of Congress for engaging in oversight, threatened to arrest a Democratic governor for governing in accord with his mandate, and handcuffed a Democratic senator for asking a question at a press event. Join tomorrow’s protest!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Voters in Missouri passed a ballot initiative enacting paid sick leave and raising the minimum wage.

In response, the Republican state legislature repealed paid sick leave and scrapped a key provision of the wage increase.

Hello? Do Republicans ever listen to the will of their voters?
