There wouldn't be millions of impoverished American dependent on insurance subsidies, food subsidies, rent subsidies, utiliy subsidies, et cetera if we forced companies to pay their employees a living wage.
But neither party wants to do that.
So here we are.

Reminder:
The Dictator in the WH could have released the Epstein files at any point.
Instead, we the people and mostly Democratic members of government had to work double OT to force this release because he refused, and the GOP was fully complicit.
Actions *always* speak louder than words.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.
