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.

Not really that hard to understand. Framed correctly here by Steohanopoullos.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we want to shine a light on our most under-appreciated leaders.

The Last Class is a reflection of the educators who show up every day, despite a system that asks the impossible. It's a love letter to the teaching profession that means so much to @rbreich.bsky.social.

So the President has taken over the powers of Congress, the Speaker of the House is going to dissolve district courts, ICE is deporting people without due process, an unelected billionaire and his youth brigade are ripping government apart and people are still proud of America?

If you found it “too hard” to wear a mask or stay at home during shelter in place orders, you’re really not going to like being chronically ill.

I assure you it’s far easier to adapt when you have a choice. Wear a mask. Open a window. Get your boosters.

Adapt now or adapt when you lose your health

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.

Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is who Trump governs for.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.
