We are stronger together!

It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?!

I’m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ain’t cutting it.

Trump’s corrupt DOJ is going to put out a statement full of lies by sex trafficker Maxwell who is trying to get out of prison, while refusing to release the statements of the victims and witnesses which would prove she’s lying. DOJ is now siding with sex traffickers over victims.

Posting this as a general note: I continue to see people responding to my posts with suggestions that ICE and CBP officers are deputized right wing militia, or J6ers, or things like that.

I want to emphasize again that there is NO evidence for this. Not a single credible source has confirmed it.

Judge orders Trump administration to β€˜stop violating the law!’ and publish spending details WASHINGTON β€” A federal judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to once again publish details about the pace at which it plans to spend money approved by Congress.U.S. District Court for the D...

A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending.

Why’d they yank it?
Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating β€œsavings” that didn’t exist.

Transparency isn’t optional.

Peter Thiel and his fascist followers are attempting to replace democracy with authoritarian β€œnetwork states” run by CEO-dictators.

JD Vanceβ€”a 15-year project of Peter Thiel’s and the tech-rightβ€”appears to have been selected for this.

To protest Thiel, join the @purgepalantir.bsky.social movement.

Sunday Pages: "Superman" A film by James Gunn

"If MAGA recognizes their empathy-deficient heroes in the film’s main bad guy, it’s not because Lex Luthor is based on Thiel and Andreessen and Musk; it’s because Thiel and Andreessen and Musk are themselves comic book villains."

Reps. Newhouse and Baumgartner voted to slash funding for public broadcasting, hitting rural communities the hardest and threatening vital local news. Cutting corners on public media while ignoring its value is not leadership, it’s abandonment.
