Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

Make no mistake: Trump’s first week was a catastrophe for many vulnerable people. But the biggest story was his startling initial moves from democracy to oligarchy. My hope lies in Americans noticing this. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-fir...

A new law that will automatically expunge the criminal records of up to 500,000 Minnesotans took effect Jan. 1. But state officials now say it will take several more months to go through millions of criminal records and thousands of laws to determine whose records should be wiped clean.

Once again, instead of telling the truth, a lot of the Press skipped the hard-hitting criticism of Trump and his cult members—simply acting as stenographers. They’re not even pretending to play both sides anymore. And that endangers all of us.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But. Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system. For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

Day 10 of 2025. Republicans. Lies not helping. And these believers are less apt to change their mind with facts. If only liars noses really grew or their pants did catch fire. We are left with reality being the lies spewed. Reality is more than one point of view. newrepublic.com/article/1901...

In honor of President Carters passing I want to dedicate this to him. He was a legend - humanitarian, peacemaker, lived a life of service, always putting others before himself. What he has given us will bring us together as we move into 2025. RIP Jimmy Carter 🙏🏽🫶🏽
