Protesters getting cuffed should insist on calling the arresting officers “Daddy” just to make them feel weird as hell about the whole thing.

After 40 days on the picket line, unionized workers at the Hilton Americas-Houston ended their strike after ratifying a new contract that sets a minimum wage of $20 with guaranteed raises that will reach $22 by 2028.

The agreement also gives workers a 401K plan option.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

TO BE CLEAR. The President does NOT possess the authority without Congress to allow another country to have a military presence on US soil. But Qatar has big planes.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.
