A reminder that Dems went out of their way to NOT politicize their prosecutions of Trump. Garland dragged his feet. Biden kept his distance. And then they appointed a special counsel to look independent. All a waste of time. You can never appease the GOP. So why do Dems keep trying? ARGHGGHG.

Your reminder that the tipped minimum wage is $2.13 /hr, and has been since 1991. When employers refuse to pay a living wage, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets. Those aren’t handouts to workers. They’re handouts to companies.
