The cruelty of everything they do makes me sick to my stomach. The minimum wage is so inadequate that to take away even that protection is cruel punishment for being working class poor. So why stop there, take away food assistance & Medicaid from millions of struggling Americans!
The regime has cut minimum wage protections for federal workers and halted plans to require companies to pay disabled workers $7.25 per hour; and it will advance plans to eliminate minimum wage protections for millions of child care and home care providers.

Your reminders:

Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering.

Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch.

This is just another Trump family scam.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

My office just got a phone call from a domestic violence shelter — the only one serving multiple counties — that says they may have to close their doors if President Trump doesn’t reverse course.

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

To be clear here, the “good Christian” leaders of the Republican Party are outraged by a solemn plea to show frightened people mercy.

You’d think the bishop gave a sermon inciting an insurrection at the Capitol or something.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Very favorable article on the election interference, it mentions @smartelections.bsky.social data concerns, and Trump snitching on Elon Musk.
