United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero -
Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.
I remember when this happened.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.
Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
Public media has been defunded. Your support keeps journalists on the ground, lifts unheard voices, and connects communities.
Help us plan for what’s next. Make a monthly gift today. Stand with public media: n.pr/458sOhq
Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

If today’s New York Times editors had been working in London in 1888, they would’ve said Jack the Ripper was “testing societal norms“ and “straining the bounds of propriety.”
