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
4-year-old American battling cancer. But go on.

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!?

Or, and stay with me here, for a lot less money, we could just build housing for the unhoused.

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.

This Halloween let’s all dress as an ICE agents and see what happens.

There’s only one logical explanation. Trump has been talking about Tylenol and pregnancy. It’s pretty clear he’s spending so much time in hospitals because he’s leading research into a link between acetaminophen and autism. His uncle was a nuclear scientist, you know….

I think ICE agents get a bad rap. They cry at movies like Schindler’s List too. They just cry at different parts.

Following three years of significant investments in addiction services, opioid overdoses have declined by 32% in the last year.

We’re saving lives and showing what’s possible when we meet this crisis with compassion and action.
