By saying they'd never vote for him, they are essentially saying that they are actually okay with what's going on, because the one thing they could do to stop it is unpalatable. I don't like Newsom. I don't want him to be the candidate. But I'll vote for him 100% to stop what's going on right now.

This week brought wins on all fronts: Catelin Drey flipped a Trump district in Iowa and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the state senate. A federal judge protected Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. And yes, even ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is about to be empty. Not bad for one week.

How does polling on skilled immigration change if you inform people most will be Chinese, Indian, and Filipino? I have a sneaking suspicion it polls so well because people assume you mean “white” by “skilled.”

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Farms have lost 155,000 workers since March. This is the Jobs Paradox: We want to protect American jobs, but Americans won't take these jobs. So crops rot, prices rise, and we import food. Less supply plus steady demand equals higher prices at checkout. Your grocery bill is about to explode.
