A gov't that enforces labor standards would destroy employers' incentives to replace legal workers w undocumented ones - or even those on temporary work visas. You'd barely need immigration enforcement, as the workers who'd still come would all be needed. Currently evil exploiters get a benefit.

The House Republican budget bill gives Trump $185 billion to carry out his extreme mass deportation agenda—while providing NO new funding for federal agencies that protect workers. Immigration enforcement would have 🚨80x🚨more money than labor standards enforcement: www.epi.org/blog/house-r...

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

Remember that if we didn't vote in Carney, our only other option would have been far right Poilievre. NDP wasn't going to get in. I would like Carney to be more left but I can tolerate his centrist ways more than alt right extremism. There will never be a PM that gives each of us everything we want.

This is a chance for bipartisanship: Democrats should propose a bill to investigate EVERY contract stolen by any of Elon's companies (and throw in Trump companies as well!) got full compliance with federal contracting requirements. Include Claw-back provisions for abusive profits.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Dear Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Picture this: you are having a pregnancy crisis. Maybe you’re miscarrying, maybe your wife is septic & dying. You no longer will be allowed to get emergency help because Donald Trump would prefer that you DIE. Nice, huh? #ProudBlue #OneV1

Also, just before the big crash, almost all pundits, media, etc - the whole Wall St-DC Blob - excoriated the @Economist.com for showing how likely a downturn was. Groupthink times hysteria equals probably wrong

Gov't guidance on healthcare is not supposed to be based on the ideology or whims of the gov't of the day. It's supposed to be based on & backed by medical science. This is the MAGA death cult moving one more step forward. Women will die as a direct result of this action.

Gangs in El Salvador persecute LGBTQ people. Locking Andry up with thousands of gang bangers is - if not a death sentence, an extremely dangerous thing.

Great point! The "DC Blob" (corporate journalists, pundits, political consultants, & politicians) got Obama to let banksters off the hook & didn't push for a faster recovery (which Rs demanded - then denounced Obama for). He threw away the progressive energy that made us campaign for him! AOC rocks!

Trump’s pardons now have now cost crime victims and tax payers over 1.3 Billion dollars. Yes, that’s over a BILLION. This is NOT normal. President Biden never did this.

My memory is that early on, both in NY and UK, elderly patients were sent from hospitals to nursing homes without any effective quarantine, accelerating the spread and killing many needlessly. Cuomo & BoJo were guilty. Do I remember correctly?

What does it say that a photo essay about a '15 minute city' development in Paris shows not a single one of the shops, cafes, clinics, workplaces, etc., that make a walkable neighborhood walkable?

The idea that a party - or one-man show - with zero experience running anything of any size, with zero detailed policies, with contradictory statements about most things, is positively Trumpian.
