Trump has contacted his boss for orders prior to his meeting with Trump.

He will also call him after the meeting for an 'atta boy!'

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

If you haven't seen the 60 Minutes segment that was pulled and banned by the new MAGA Management of CBS, here it is. Please watch it, and share widely. Let your MAGA friends and family see it "accidentally."
Make sure everyone in the country watches.

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment
The full segment aired on the GlobalTV app in Canada. Someone sent me a link to a recorded version. Let's see if we can figure out whether Bari Weiss' decision to spike it was editorial or political.

Meanwhile, Israel continues to restrict the entry of tents, tarps and blankets into Gaza despite cold temperatures and heavy rain. The winter weather has been blamed for more than a dozen deaths, including at least three children who froze to death.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism.  #holdfast

Thanks El Cerrito/Richmond Annex Walk & Roll for holding a powerful vigil yesterday for Donna Revecho, who was killed while crossing San Pablo Ave.

It was inspiring to join dozens to stand up for safe streets.

We need to hold Caltrans accountable to make San Pablo safer & prevent more tragedies!

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous.

It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.
Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.

In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.
Scoop: Trump administration expects Epstein files release could last another week
The White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X, an effort to finish out the year and the Epstein file disclosure requirements set by Congress.

ICE is Gestapo, they are MAGA’s personal army used to terrorize brown and black people, they are an entity designed to harm/murder human beings of color and they are exacting the revenge of a lifelong white supremacist criminal rapist traitor. Abolish it and arrest its leaders.

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.
