Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

I remember when there were government shutdowns in the past that it felt like a major story every single day.

Like it was all we talked about.

Now it feels like a B or C level story.

thoughts?

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

It’s not just agriculture.

For example health care, it’s common for new nurse’s to go through an onboarding period that the employer considers to be compensated training that if they leave before a certain period the employer will demand reimbursement.

NNU applauds FTC’s new rule on stay-or-pay contracts

National Nurses United applauded the FTC’s ruling that limits the use of certain stay-or-pay contracts, including training repayment agreement provisions (TRAPs) that have burdened many nurses.

Agriculture. It's straight-up systemic malignancy too, b/c the trafficking, visas, labor contractors, & intimidation isn't cheap. Stop all that & wages could go up, but the brutal control has been baked into the model so "Oops! Gotta slavery!"

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.
