Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

(More Grifting)
On Thursday, lawmakers in the House approved a “pilot program” in the pending Pentagon budget bill that could eventually open the door to sending billions to big contractors, while providing what critics say would be little benefit to the military.
Lawmakers Pave the Way to Billions in Handouts for Weapons Makers That the Pentagon Itself Opposed
The pilot program upends an 80-year precedent against covering contractors’ interest payments — something the military itself opposed.

PRESIDENT TRUMP has shattered the limits of executive authority by ordering the summary executions of individuals he deems members of designated terrorist organizations. He has also tested the bounds of his presidential powers by creating a secret list of domestic terrorist organizations. STOP HIM!
White House Refuses to Rule Out Summary Executions of People on Its Secret Domestic Terrorist List
The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list — even while answering our other queries.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Asked how to lower health care costs, Vance bragged that Trump handed out Trump 2028 hats in the Oval Office.

Families are drowning in medical bills and this clown show thinks merch is policy. No wonder they don’t have a healthcare plan.

Hochul vetoed legislation that would have removed the NYC mayor's power to bounce NYC Council's proposed changes to the City Charter from the ballot, letting Mamdani keep the authority to create his own charter commission, which would enable him to create his proposed Department of Community Safety.
Gov. Hochul veto hands Zohran Mamdani a win for mayoral power

Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

Demented, deranged and sadistic. I hate ICE.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.
