This bloated mango tyrant and his administration have drained the office of the presidency of all dignity, honor, and respect. May the world forgive us when this is over.

Minimum wage = livable wage No corporation should exist that relies on tax money to subsidize labor costs

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

I’m a former in-house lawyer for Harvard. During my recent role as DEI Director at UCLA, I fixated my AuDHD brain on digesting, analyzing and memorizing Project 2025. Since then, unfortunately every one of my political predictions has come to pass. P2025 is 55% complete. The last 1/2 is terrifying.

None of us should get over this!

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

No executive should make seven figures if any employee makes less than a livable wage!!

Time to adopt the concept that minimum wage = livable wage. It should be unlawful for a company to pay less than a livable wage for full time work.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

One of the most radical positions you can take in American politics is that people are just people, and that regardless of where they're born they have the same rights and worth as anyone else. Any articulation of that view will alienate you from both parties and get you treated like a terrorist.

This is such an important story.👇 Opponents of President Donald Trump’s dangerous executive order restricting mail voting say there’s a simple motivation behind the scheme: Democrats vote by mail more than Republicans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.comDemocrats use mail voting more than Republicans. That’s why Trump is attacking itIn 2024, 37% of Democrats reported voting by mail compared to 24% of Republicans, according to the MIT Election Data and Science Lab.

Everytime a Democratic politician is asked how they are going to stop the corruption and the election interference of this morally bankrupt, criminal republican party, they just keep repeating all of the crimes trump is committing. HELLO ! We know all that. We want to know how you're gonna stop it.

Thank you, Marc! And thank your team of courageous and dedicated patriots!

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. I founded Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

Beshear should send in the State sheriff’s office to verify he is still alive. If he doesn’t see him appoint someone to fill the seat via the Kentucky State Constitution. Let the GOP challenge it in court. Oh and don’t forget to check the morgue. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1
