California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

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.

“By delaying Grijalva’s swearing-in, Johnson only deepens suspicious that the White House is hiding something.”

It’s time for Dems to find a judge who can swear Grijalva in. Enough of the bull crap from House Rethuglicans.
