Mike Johnson is a man of many failings, but none fuck him over quite as much as his inability to count.
House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."
6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

seriously these results are a roadmap to demands for the upcoming budget battle: criminal liability if they break the law, no masks and mandatory IDs, no new funding and clawing back as much as last year’s funding as possible.

This is so baffling because protein is like….in everything these days. Want protein cereal? Cool, they have it. Protein bread? Sure. That’s a thing now. Protein pancakes and waffles? Those, too.

ohhhhh so none of them know yet that they’re not getting $50K after tax withholding, do they
I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

This week Ann Wagner voted against extending subsidies for ACA subscribers. She hasn’t explained why she doesn’t care about her constituents struggling to make ends meet. Perhaps because in her 13 years of public “service” her stock portfolio has increased by nearly $20 million? (1/2)
