25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

Pathological liars just can’t stop lying. Trump: “I’m the only president that donated his salary. They pay me $550,000 a year.” The presidential salary is $400,000. JFK and Hoover donated their salaries and didn’t rob the country blind.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

In Alligator Alcatraz, detainees were forced into small outdoor cages for hours at a time. In Camp East Montana, detainees report beatings from guards and denial of medical care. In Delaney Hall, detainees report unsafe drinking water and retaliatory abuse for speaking up. Unimaginable cruelty.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction. In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back.

See this chart? Workers’ share of the nation’s income is at the lowest it’s been since records began in 1947. Corporate profits’ share, on the other hand, is the highest it’s been since 1950. This is why we must build back worker power.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.
