Epstein Is Only the Tip of the Iceberg: The Trump Protection Machine and the Epidemic of Violence Against Women
On July 2, the jury delivered a guilty verdict on some of the charges against music mogul Sean Combs for his decades of horrific sexual abuse of women with the help of his extensive staff and deep poc...

Reminder:
When companies pay less than a living wage and donβt offer healthcare, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets like Medicaid and SNAP.
Thatβs not a handout to workers.
Thatβs a handout to the companies exploiting them.
