#PA07 Your bills keep going up. The minimum wage? Still $7.25 since 2006. Jeff Bezos paid $0 in federal taxes. Bob Brooks a 20 years Bethlehem firefighter, is running on healthcare for All, raising the wage, repealing Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Bob will end corruption in DC! #ResistanceUnited

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.
