Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

We’re getting multiple reports that independents in Chester County, Pennsylvania (a Democratic-leaning area) have been left off the voter rolls. They’re being told to fill out provisional ballots, the same ones MAGA often tries to claim shouldn’t be counted.

REPUBLICAN Rep. Turner says Hegseth & Trump gave “not very good answers” about the boat bombings in international waters. (As the UN condemns it)
Dozens killed. No evidence that any of this was necessary or justified.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
