Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

I use SCOTUSblog a lot but, oh well, guess that era is over. It’s fine. I also used Twitter a lot before the fascists took over.
Times change. The way I look at it, every time the white-wing takes over a new media space, it just makes what I do more rare and thus more valuable.

Remember Middle Earth was saved by the discovery of Isildur’s correspondence in the unprocessed archival collection MS1973 in the White City and then Middle Earth was preserved by bravery of the smallest among them. Imagine Frodo not having to wait 17 years because Denathor II fired the archivist.
There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business.
Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does.
The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data.
DJT fired the archivist.

If there even are midterms
If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

Although Trump banned the AP and Reuters from the press pool in the Oval Office today, they allowed in Russia-state media outlet TASS, until reporters called it out. Thoroughly disgraceful!

"I wish the American people understood that we are Americans, too"
Something getting lost in the discussion around RIFs and waste: we pay for work from federal employees because that work benefits the country and its people. Starting an occasional series of civil servants in their own words (AI voice for privacy). This person works for the IRS.
