CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.Β 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.

Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Great American institutions and many leaders have capitulated to the onset of fascism in America in much the same way the Vichy French did to the Nazis. No fight. No principles. A betrayal of their country. Universities. Media. Law firms. Political leaders. Clergy.

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States β€” the policy making body for the federal judiciary β€” is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaidβ€”it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

DOGE staffers attempted to assign a team and take control of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), but CPB leaders resisted citing federal law that protects the nonprofit’s independence from government interference.

Rule of law is β€˜endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced β€œad hominem” criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
