15 House Dems just voted for HR 9495, which would give Trump power to name any advocacy group or nonprofit as “terrorist affiliated" with no due process.

Senate Dems must not let this attack on free speech come up for a vote during the lame-duck.

If it does, they must vote NO.
The House Just Blessed Trump’s Authoritarian Playbook by Passing Nonprofit-Killer Bill
Attacking civili society is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes — and the House, including some Democrats, just gave Trump the power to do it.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

In December 2017, Congress voted on a bill to combat human sex trafficking.

The bill passed the Senate unanimously.

The bill passed the House, 418 to 1.

The 1 "no" vote was Matt Gaetz.
