This is so clearly true from the data. Estimates range that the national minimum wage would be $24-$26 if it kept up with productivity gains. And, that’s just one data point.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Democrats have been saying it for months
And here it is-in black and white for all to see
Republicans want to cut $715 billion from Medicaid
Ripping away insurance from 13.7 million Americans
Just to give billionaires like Elon Musk another tax break
Don't
Mess

I remember laughing at the obvious photoshop job and being assured that even Trump wasn’t stupid enough to belive that was real: The photoshop superscript was just to illustrate the online theory about what the tattoos might mean. But it turns out he is exactly that stupid.
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

HAPPENING NOW: DHS official tells court that agency diverted 10-20 employees to run *1.3 million* names of foreign students through database that tracks criminal charges. Took 2-3 weeks.
There were ~6,400 hits (0.004%). But thousands were for charges that never led to convictions or were dropped.

Wow, finally we get some answer as to what happened! They really did just run all names through law enforcement databases and terminate SEVIS status for anyone with a match, no matter the circumstances or magnitude of the "offense" (including things like speeding tickets and even dropped charges).

Gee, Jeff Bezos, I guess whoring out the Washington Post editorial pages didn’t buy you quite the unconditional love you thought it would.
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.
