The Epstein Files must be really bad for his boss.
A tweet from MeidasTouch reads: “She can’t work for her constituents because you won’t swear her into her job. My god these people.” Below, a tweet from Aaron Rupar quotes Mike Johnson saying: “Rep. Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office.” The image shows a CNN broadcast with two men in split-screen — anchor Jake Tapper on the left and Mike Johnson on the right — with a headline reading: “GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN DRAGS INTO 16TH DAY.”

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Discussion on #trump making #ANTIFA a #terrorist organization.

We’re aware that there is no such org but it will allow this administration to identify anyone they don’t like as ANTIFA.
