And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
 
Shameful.

Worth noting that Leon Black's name pops up in these most recent Epstein docs in the context of a questionable Epstein charity donation. Black was paying Epstein tens of millions of dollars.

A refresher here: Black was accused of raping a woman at Epstein's home.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

ICE will provide huge financial incentives to bounty hunters who help Trump hunt down immigrants. My latest on how private contractors could earn up to $281 MILLION dollars serving as de facto law enforcement.

No $ for SNAP, but Trump has millions for bounty hunters.

Maddow: “What she articulated is we’re going to show up for working people and we’re going to show up against fascism and authoritarianism. Those are the unifying threads that all Democratic candidates must agree to and beyond that, you can be all sorts of different things [based on where you run].”
