The minimum wage went up in 19 states this month — but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

It takes 50 votes to abolish the filibuster.
If Republicans really wanted to reopen the government, they could abolish that.
They don’t because the filibuster allows both parties to get nothing done and blame the other side.

This is what premiums spike to for a man with cancer who is a taxi driver in AZ (met his son). This is Ambetter, operated by private health insurer Centene. It's why we need to extend the ACA credits & fight for Medicare for All.

I stand with @sanders.senate.gov. This is not about politics, but about real people. It's not about securing a vote for show, but preventing premium hikes for Americans who are scared of what that will mean for them.

Socialism should be taught in schools across the globe. Once the actual benefits of socialism are understood, pretty much everyone agrees with them. It's about ensuring everyone is looked after, nothing more. The rich can still be rich, it's just the people who made them rich can be better off.
