No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

In 2026, it is still legal to pay a disabled worker 25 cents an hour. Biden moved to end it. Trump’s Labor Department killed the rule that would have given disabled workers a raise. They filed it under “unleashing prosperity through deregulation.”

PENNIES IS STILL LEGAL IN MOST RED STATES
Section 14(c), Fair Labor Standards Act | U.S. Dept. of Labor A 1938 loophole lets employers pay workers with disabilities BELOW the minimum wage, sometimes as little as 25 cents an hour.
