The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. That's unacceptable.
In California, we're about growing the economy and wages for working people:
💵 $16.90 minimum wage
💵 $25 minimum wage for health care workers
💵 $20 minimum wage for fast food workers

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

Apparently Americans need to be reminded yet again that we have never suspended elections during a war. Lincoln was reelected during the Civil War (a large part of why we have absentee voting), FDR during WW2. It's never been true, and scaring folks with untrue things makes you not a good person.

My wife and I are partners.
We share finances but split responsibilities.
One of the things she handles is our health insurance. That means the monthly premium. The phone calls. The disputes. The endless back-and-forth when the same charge magically shows up twice.
