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.

Trump wants to gaslight America into thinking that the economy is doing well. It's not. The cost of living is up, the social safety net is shrinking, and many polls show that the majority of Americans are struggling under this economic system. #Velshi
The poverty line is a lie: how the rising cost of living is leaving many Americans behind
Donald Trump tried to use his address to the nation to gaslight the country into thinking that the economy is doing better than it actually is. Despite what he says, the cost of living is much higher than it used to be and many people in the lower rungs of society are being squeezed out by the one-two punch of rising prices and the shrinking social safety net.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The Department of Education is parceling off its main offices and giving their responsibilities to other federal agencies.

Much of the funding for K-12 and colleges is being handed over to—wait for it—the Department of LABOR.

Because what else is education good for apart from producing workers?😞

Democrats are rejecting a 7-week “band-aid” that delays the fight, because waiting means 20M face higher premiums &15M could lose Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.
