If a CEO offers a member of Congress $5 to vote for a bill, it's considered a bribe – subject to severe punishment. If a CEO starts a Super-PAC, and raises millions for that member, it is perfectly legal. We must overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

It's truly beautiful when studies confirm things almost everyone has known for decades.

Our company pays a min wage of $70k and has paid parental leave, full benefits, paid time off, and allows people to work remotely. We received 25,400 applications this year for 72 jobs. There's no labor shortage. There's a shortage of jobs that treat people with respect.

No worker in America should make less than $15 an hour, and every worker should have schedules they can plan around, somewhere safe for their kids to learn and play, and the ability to join a union.

I don't have any student loans. Yes, I worked hard to be debt-free. But I still want student loans canceled because I want the next generation to have better opportunities than mine had. At some point, this became a controversial statement.

The problem is not the dude who got a $1,400 check 7 months ago and a 75 cent raise at Arby's. The problem is 745 billionaires who became $2,000,000,000,000 during the pandemic while over half of U.S. workers still live paycheck to paycheck.

More than 30,000 troops have died by suicide since 9/11. 40,000 veterans are unhoused on any given night. This Veteran’s Day, let’s not just thank those who have served. Let’s commit to building a country where our veterans have the support they need to thrive.

It's always "inflation is up because fast-food workers got a 25-cent raise" and never: *Stock buybacks and dividends doubled in the last decade to $1.5 trillion a year *The Fed printed $3 trillion for companies last year *Median CEO pay rose 1,322% in 40 years to $24.2 million

"My salary is private - I don't discuss that" The single best way to get a raise is to have data showing your colleagues who do the same job make more. Keeping pay info secret is a long-time scam perpetrated by companies to help them and hurt you. Please don't fall for it.

there's always some story like "people are suffering because milk went up 5 cents" and never "we have to budget for milk because our rent went up $500, our health care is $10,000/year, my kids' college fund requires $100k and every house in our budget is now $100k more expensive"

I hate how stories are framed as a "win" or "loss" for Democrats or Republicans. Paid family leave getting killed isn't "a blow to Biden" it's a blow to parents who have to pay $2,000 a month for daycare and a blow to kids who will grow up without bonding with their parents.
