“The Brookings affordability report found nearly 38 million households would be able to get by if workers' wages rose by $10 per hour. But that's a tall order in a nation where the federal minimum wage has been frozen at $7.25 an hour since 2009.”

In a stunning blow to Ken Paxton, the Houston Chronicle just endorsed Democrat James Talarico for U.S. Senate in Texas. One of the biggest newspapers in the state is making it clear: Texans deserve better than Paxton’s corruption, chaos, and endless scandals. =====================

Excellent. Flashback: Inside & outside DC "armed" bsky.app/profile/chri...

BREAKING: Judge Amit Mehta says Jeanine Pirro's "Because I said so" reason is NOT sufficient for him to rule on whether to dismiss the charges against the Oath Keepers. Pirro has until June 5th to provide a satisfactory reason. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Stephen Miller is terrified of James Talarico in Texas.

standing ovation for senator john hoffman at the DFL convention. nearly one year ago, he was shot by the same man who killed melissa hortman and her husband mark “pure evil. it was an attack of public servants and public service itself,” says hoffman

One down. Minnesota isn't playing games.

Hey, if you were using your PVR to watch Colbert later. Don’t forget to remove that from your schedule!

😎🇺🇦 In Crimea, Ukrainian drones are setting up ambushes near Russian airfields to destroy enemy aircraft, according to Denis Shtilerman, co-founder of Fire Point.

All of these people have not been given due process. Shameful to be American at this moment.

The agents, their bosses, Noem, Markwayne Gacey…. All of them meed to be charged with kidnapping, human trafficking and illegal imprisonment.

I bvelieve all ICE agents should get the same treatment that they dish out. Let's call it the "ICE Method".

I think every ICE agent, once we end that miserable agency, should be unemployable. It should be a black mark on your permanent record. These losers deserve to be shunned at every level of society.

@neildegrassetyson.com: "The people who want to colonize Mars so that we're a two-planet species, that's a nice thought, but it's not realistic... Go there as a vacation, to enjoy, but don't pretend that's an escape plan. It's simply not realistic given the cost that that would engender."

Acton: We love the Cavs. Ramaswamy managed to score some $60,000 courtside tickets, but was apparently found spending all his time trying to get into the Knicks locker room. When you love Ohio, you’re trying to get into the Cavs locker room.

🥳 A small town in #Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community‼️ The #LaPineCity Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project 👏

When the President crashes out publicly so hard that he runs out of characters.

Black Farmers Sue USDA Over $127 Million in Canceled Grants More than two dozen organizations say the agency violated its due process rights when it eliminated their grants. capitalbnews.org/black-farmer...

INDEED 💥💥💥

ICE was "supposedly" created to protect the country from terrorism, and it turns out that ICE is the terrorists. Foreign interference, and ICE must end. It's a corrupt institution.

Minnesota, get organized! go.bsky.app/67ZH9Hk

To paraphrase Mark Twain- -“True patriotism is supporting your country all the time & your government when they deserve it.”

Exactly She said in her memoir that she was treating him as if he were “completely normal”, but she quickly learned of his “emotional” nature and soft spot for authoritarians and tyrants. shorturl.at/BoLNS

He says twice that he’s instructing his ppl to “transfer” the Kennedy Center to Congress, an absurd premise since (as Judge Cooper stated) it never didn’t belong to Congress. He also fails to grasp that not everything is a money-making scheme. A nonprofit—by its very definition—is one such case.

I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened

Absolutely shocking how easy this is.

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Where are Kid Rock & Lee Greenwood when you really need them?

Good morning Seattle. Welcome your new neighbor. Zuckerberg’s $300M megayacht arrived in Seattle just hours after layoffs impacting roughly 1,400 employees in King County were announced by Meta. This vessel drew crowds and criticism as it traveled through the Ballard Locks toward Lake Union. WTF 🤬

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I think that the US is now the worldwide cautionary tale.

Like #AutomaticVoterRegistration and #MandatoryVotingLaws

Sometimes places outside the U.S. have great ideas. We can learn from others (and should).

Trump wouldn't last two minutes.

We just won a big voting case in New Hampshire. Stand by for details.

Very happy that CBS has dropped substantially in ratings since Stephen Colbert’s exit from the propaganda network. Love to see it.

Another super blinkey afternoon for gramps. Poor guy is just operating on fumes

Iran launched missiles, the U.S. launched airstrikes, drones are getting shot down over the Gulf… and the headlines still say “tense ceasefire continues.” At this point the media would call Godzilla stomping Tokyo “a minor zoning dispute.”

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
