Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.
The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.
Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.
Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.
So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

Abigail Spanberger, Democrat running for Virginia Governor, says she wouldn't sign a bill that fully repeals right-to-work.
Any politician who wants to serve working Americans needs to unequivocally stand against anti-union right-to-work laws and support the labor movement.

After 58 days on strike, Alamo Drafthouse workers in NYC have won big.
The strike began when management suddenly fired 70 workers, and now every single laid off worker will get their job back thanks to the union power of @nycalamounited.bsky.social.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
