A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

MAGA is cruelty disguised as strength, nationalism dressed up as patriotism. All to worship a con man who made people feel seen, not with truth, but with resentment. They chose grievance over grace and the rest of us are left trying to explain how it happened to a world that once believed in us.

"Efficiency" means making things work better, not just cutting all spending. As Elon Musk and his fellow Trump stooges are just learning now, you don't make government more efficient by eliminating all essential personnel and functions. They 100% own the stunning decline in air safety.

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

FUN FACT APPROVED✅️

On this day in 1926, a white mob in LaBelle, Florida, lynched a young Black man named Henry Patterson for stopping at the home of a white woman to ask for a drink of water.

The container ships coming from China are nonexistent and the passenger planes coming from Canada are empty. Donny, you're doing a heck of a job!

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Did you see the ugly celebration of autocracy by two presidents in the Oval Office, mocking the rule of law, mocking our Constitution, and mocking the authority of the Supreme Court?

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

This made my head snap up so fast, I almost broke my neck. This guy, Scott Bessent, the US secretary of the treasure, is gay, married to John Freeman, former New York City prosecutor and worked for Soros Fund Management.

Listen to Musk's former business partner- Americans know he's dangerous to our democracy and country. He's grifting here...Revoke his passport, citizenship, licenses, contracts, seize his assets, bank accounts, and deport him to his homeland- South Africa. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register. I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.

Good Morning 🩵 #MarthaStewart has entered the conversation. #Trump is the “Crazy Wizard of Our Times.” All Americans should be held to the same standards. No one should be above the law. #SheShed

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions. And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last. 🔗 ow.ly/JmHE50VyJsB
