Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @judiciarydems.senate.gov · 1d

Sen. SCHIFF: Senator Durbin asked a very appropriate oversight question, and Pam Bondi’s response was to attack his character and insult him. Senator Whitehouse did the same with a perfectly legitimate oversight question, and Pam Bondi attacked him personally. Others, too.
