Congresswoman Cori Bush:
“Minimum Wage Hike Could Be ‘Difference Between Life And Death’ For Some”
“We’re talking about $15, Chris. We’re not talking about making anybody rich. This is the difference between life and death for people.”
By 2026 = raising the minimum wage to $15 over 5 years!!
So even Manchin gets his starvation 11 dollar wish during that time. Let’s see him live on that.
“In 2018, the federal minimum wage of $7.25 was worth 14.8 percent less than when it was last raised in 2009, after adjusting for inflation, and 28.6 percent below its peak value in 1968, when the minimum wage was the equivalent of $10.15 in 2018 dollars.
This decline in purchasing power means low-wage workers have to work longer hours now just to achieve the standard of living that was considered the bare minimum half a century ago.”
(Cooper, epi.org, 2019)
Hey there, Dudette! I think the experience in Seattle with raising the minimum wage to $15 showed no loss of business. People who earn their income paycheck to paycheck are long overdue for a raise. Damn GOP saw no problem with giving billions of tax cuts to corporations and rich people which did NOT trickle down to most of the country. Why do people vote for these heartless a-holes?

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also said the U.S. would look to find legal pathways for separated families to stay in the U.S. if they choose to be reunited in the U.S.
David Ignatius:
“Opinion: Biden stood up for Jamal Khashoggi. What happened to him should never happen again.”
“President Biden has decided to “name and shame” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
by disclosing a CIA report that says the crown prince knew about and probably ordered the operation that killed Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Release of the CIA report, (last Friday)
will provide a measure of accountability, at last, for Khashoggi’s grisly murder.
But the man who oversaw that killing will continue to live and govern in royal splendor.”

“As the pandemic has laid bare, the United States is a rich country that also happens to be one of the stingiest when it comes to the welfare of its own people. McGhee, who spent years working on economic policy for Demos, a liberal think tank, says it was the election of Donald Trump in 2016 by a majority of white voters that made her realize how most white voters weren’t “operating in their own rational economic self-interest.” Despite Trump’s populist noises, she writes, his agenda “promised to wreak economic, social and environmental havoc on them along with everyone else.”

I just finished Episode 3 of PBO and Bruce Springsteen’s podcast “Renegades: Born in the USA.” They focus on American music and how it shaped them growing up. They also cover President Obama shocking the world when he sang Al Green at the Apollo and when he sang Amazing Grace at Rev. Pinckney’s funeral. All three episodes are great, but this one is my favorite so far. ♥️
In Episode 3 of Renegades: Born in the USA, Bruce and @BarackObama talk about identity, grace, and some of the songs that have made a difference throughout their lives… including some new performances by Bruce! Take a listen to it all on @Spotify: https://t.co/FoetjI1qnKpic.twitter.com/cGA8N77LDK
Dammit Georgia! We need a lot more Dems in the State legislature.
Georgia's GOP-controlled House just passed #HB531 by a 97-72 vote. Among other voting restrictions, HB531 would limit location & hours of drop boxes, reduce early weekend voting, prohibits giving food/drink to voters waiting in line. Bill goes to State Senate now.
For those asking about part about giving food/drink to voters in line: "nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector"
i listened to the first one episode…it was very entertaining…what was interesting was when Springstein had a bit of trouble talking about a racial episode…and he wonder out loud why he was having trouble….i am looking forward to listening to the next episodes..

And Gayle attempt to go after Kobe before his body was in the ground. No interview about Harvey Weinstein though, who was a friend of Oprah.

BREAKING NEWS: Civil rights stalwart and business executive Vernon Jordan passed away last night. We will pay tribute to him tonight with an hour special on #RolandMartinUnfilteredpic.twitter.com/js1Ej07KLl
⚖️BRNOVICH: On this side, there’s Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, the Arizona GOP and various AZ Republican election officials. They’re arguing that the prohibition on ballot collection and OOP regulations are lawful and do not target minority voters.
⚖️DNC: On the DNC side, there’s the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Arizona Democratic Party. They’re arguing that AZ’s laws are discriminatory and result in the disenfranchisement of Black, Hispanic, and Native American voters.
Both sides will make arguments before #SCOTUS today. We’ll be live-tweeting the arguments right here on Twitter. Keep in mind that the case will not be decided on for a while, but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we know something.
The Voting Rights Act is one of the most significant voting reforms in U.S. history—and it has been under attack for the past decade. In our new series, we’ll examine the impact and current issues of the VRA.
Each #SCOTUS justice has an opportunity to ask questions to all four advocates (i.e. the lawyers arguing). Questions are asked in order of seniority on the Court:

President Biden did not name Amazon or express views on the results of the vote.
“Workers in Alabama, and all across America, are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace,” Biden, 78, said, calling their vote “vitally important.”
“Let me be clear: It’s not up to me to decide whether anyone should join a union,” Biden said. “But let me be even more clear: It’s not up to an employer to decide that either. The choice to join a union is up to the workers — full stop.”
“About 6,000 Amazon workers in its Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse are voting this month on whether to join the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, The Washington Post previously reported. If they vote to do so, the group would become the first Amazon workers to unionize. The New York Times reported that Amazon currently has 400,000 American workers.”
President Biden said on Sunday:
“there should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda.”
“No supervisor should confront employees about their union preferences,” he added.
“Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union,” the president said.
“The law guarantees that choice. And it’s your right, not that of an employer. It’s your right. No employer can take that right away.

“We’re talking about $15, Chris. We’re not talking about making anybody rich. This is the difference between life and death for people.”
By 2026 = raising the minimum wage to $15 over 5 years!!
So even Manchin gets his starvation 11 dollar wish during that time. Let’s see him live on that.
“In 2018, the federal minimum wage of $7.25 was worth 14.8 percent less than when it was last raised in 2009, after adjusting for inflation, and 28.6 percent below its peak value in 1968, when the minimum wage was the equivalent of $10.15 in 2018 dollars.
This decline in purchasing power means low-wage workers have to work longer hours now just to achieve the standard of living that was considered the bare minimum half a century ago.”

Hey there, Dudette! I think the experience in Seattle with raising the minimum wage to $15 showed no loss of business. People who earn their income paycheck to paycheck are long overdue for a raise.
