I'm no economist but the fact that more than 42 million Americans (1 in 8!) are on SNAP (i.e., food stamps) says that the federal minimum wage is way too low.

Almost as if using a shoehorn to shoehorn would prevent shoehorning.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

I wonder if other VPs had as much excitement as I do

Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell
You're the first VP to deport a

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

He hasn’t worked a single day in two months.

What the hell else is he doing with his time, if not watching what rogue executive branch agents are doing!?

JB Pritzker creating the “Illinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.
