Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

Here @apnews.com I fixed this headline for you. He didn't use a "rare authority" he violated the constitution. You're blatantly buying into administration talking points by saying he has "authority" to just decide not to spend Congressionally approved funds at the last minute

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

extremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says

This is going to have the opposite effect. There will be no cashiers, as going to the cashiers would cost 10% extra. No one would do that. Stores would have to replace cashiers with more self checkout machines. Which would be mostly blocked people who slowly scan one weeks worth of groceries.

DILLEY DETENTION CENTER NUMBER 2 Call it a “staging facility” all you want. The contract says detention. There’s playground equipment behind the fence. And Dilley has already held children far beyond the roughly 20-day Flores limit. Now they’re building “Dilley 2.” We know what this is!

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

BREAKING: The "Trump TV" producers are worried Trump’s vain demand that they "document everything they can" is a giant gift for Democrats' inevitable impeachment hearings because Trump spends his days coordinating insider trading deals, calling diplomats for bribes, and napping.
