The filibuster is the reason we can’t pass: -Marijuana legalization -Democracy reform -DC statehood -The Equality Act -The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act -A $15 minimum wage -Gun safety reform -Prescription drug reform -Immigration reform It is strangling our democracy.

How about we stop asking Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin if they support the filibuster and start asking them why they’re comfortable doing nothing while the GOP introduces 253 bills across the country eviscerating the right to vote?

End the filibuster and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Do it immediately.

When I graduated college in 1968, the typical corporate CEO got 20 times the pay of the average worker. When I became labor secretary in 1993, the ratio was 61-to-1. Today, the ratio is 320-to-1. Capitalism is off the rails.

It’s been over 11.5 years since we raised the minimum wage to $7.25. That’s the longest period without a raise in the history of the minimum wage. That is egregious.

So let me get this straight: Redditors rallying GameStop is market manipulation, but hedge fund billionaires shorting a stock is just an investment strategy?

Instead of pouring billions into shorting stocks and killing jobs, the Street should be investing in emerging technologies and future jobs. Otherwise, what's the point?

Today seems like a good day to remind you that the stock market is not the economy.

We just did a long segment on this, which we’ll post but I truly think it is under appreciated how very close things came on Wednesday to a massacre.

In 1923, Adolf Hitler led a failed coup. He was treated leniently. Germany moved on. A decade later, he was dictator, and the worst disaster in the history of the civilized world ensued. In 2021, when the president of the United States leads a failed coup, we must not move on.

We spend $716,000,000,000 on defense and insurrectionists were practically escorted into the U.S. Capitol. Read that again.

So let me get this straight: the police are willing to shoot a Black person during a traffic stop, but they ignore a white man making explosives in his RV?

America's billionaires could give everybody in the country a $3,000 stimulus check and still be richer than they were before the pandemic. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, I don't know what will.

Please remember that if worker compensation had kept pace with productivity gains since 1968, the current minimum wage would be more than $24 an hour.
