Welp, the federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage (as in, a full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage gets paid less than the poverty line for a single person). www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.

Wage growth since 1979 has definitely been suppressed, but EPI has decided to stop describing the entire post-1979 period as one of “wage stagnation.” #EconSky @elisegould.bsky.social and @joshbivens-econ.bsky.social explain our reasoning: www.epi.org/blog/wage-gr...

if you want to bring back the prosperity* and security of mid-century american life then you need high rates of unionization, a generous social insurance state, and widespread, freely available education. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

GOV. WALZ IN IOWA: “This an issue of - do you stand with veterans? If you do, you should not have voted YES like your rep did to cut the VA. It’s that simple.”

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

ICE illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, for his political advocacy. Take action to free Mahmoud NOW.

Cartoon by @davewhamond.bsky.social.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
