U.S. billionaires gained $1.5 Trillion in wealth during the first year of Trump’s second term. At the same time, they received more Tax Cuts while programs that working families rely on received Cuts.

ICYMI: Workers’ rights were protected yesterday. ✊🏽
House Democrats DEFEATED a Republican bill that would’ve let employers deny overtime pay or the minimum wage to workers for time classified as "job training" or "education." Six Republicans joined Democrats to block it.

There is apparently no state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest two-bedroom apartment, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
