Astonishing as it is, the message to America's poor right now is to be grateful for what they're getting.

Does poverty mean anything to you, @LindseyGrahamSC? Darn right it’s on our “wish list” to eradicate it. And increased poverty has everything to do with Covid.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC): "The minimum wage has got nothing to do with COVID ... it's got everything to do with their liberal wishlist."

The United States should do much more to stand for Armenia right now. @SecBlinken
Garni Temple is one of the most ancient landmarks in #Armenia which was constructed in the 1st century AD and has survived since pagan period.

You tell ‘em, Bernie!!
Sen. Bernie Sanders calls Walmart the “largest welfare recipient” in the U.S.
“Walmart made over $15 billion in profit last year alone, and yet … Walmart pays wages so low that tens of thousands of their employees are forced to rely on public assistance in order to survive.”

But what gives you the right to define it then? How about everybody defining it for themselves? Wouldn’t you call that liberty?

Farmers work hard to make sure we have food on our tables. Now it’s time for us to stand with them before the authoritarian regime sells their land for its own benefit.

I’m happy to endorse Alexandra Hunt (@ahunt4congress), a woman who understands that economic justice, reparations, a raised minimum wage & universal access to basic human rights are the floor, not the ceiling, for the kinds of policy changes we need now. bit.ly/2FFYK09

“Do not let anyone tell you...”
The Constitution gives the Vice President the power to decide whether the $15 minimum wage can pass through reconciliation. The parliamentarian’s opinion is advisory, which VPs have disregarded before. Do not let anyone tell you that we do not have the power to pass $15 wage.

“Hundreds of thousands of people in Yemen have died for the Trump administration’s relationship with the Saudi & UAE governments.It would be terrible if Mnuchin or other Trump officials were to cash in on this now.” washingtonpost.com/business/…

If you think some a violent uprising is going to fix it, to me that’s delusional as well as immoral. We need $ out of politics, voting rights act & end to gerrymandering, plus an uprising among citizens so we actually vote for who we want and don’t allow the system to distract us
