@aoc.bsky.social you should introduce a bill giving working Americans a guaranteed 4 weeks pays time off and call it the Mitch McConnell Act. And then if someone says it won't make it out of committee, reply, "You're saying Mitch McConnell is dead?"

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.
When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

Every single sector needs a strong, downwards pushing public backstop to ensure everyone can get what they need. When that backstop gets removed, prices can soar because there's no longer the chance to say you'll take the bus, go to public school, or find a social housing unit tied to income.
