A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

What does Qatar get in return for the $400M plane it's gifting to Donald Trump?
What’s the quid for the quo?
It could be any number of things.
The only certainty is that you and I and other Americans won’t necessarily benefit.

Really great to see someone say what needs to be said over and over: lots of those executive orders are bullshit grabs for powers the president doesn't have--unless we give it to him, and that starts through misinformation.
It is not actually in the President's power to unilaterally rescind or modify regulations that were enacted through notice-and-comment.
Maybe FedSoc judges invent a reason for it, but it's not what precedent or the Administrative Procedures Act says. See, e.g., www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspecti...

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
