Raising the $7.25 an hour minimum wage to a living wage is not a radical idea. Since 2020, voters in Florida, Nebraska, Missouri & Alaska approved a major increase in their minimum wage. What’s radical is that the federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009.

Trump’s executive order to defund NPR & PBS is a gift to billionaires and a slap in the face to the rest of us. He’d rather silence journalists than confront corporate greed. We deserve leaders who work for the people, not silence them.

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term. It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them. We must get Big Money out of politics. No one from either party should be able to buy an election.
