Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
