Robert Reich: 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.

i just had a thought that maybe the reason the Epstein files, client list and evidence are not being released or claimed that they don't exist is because Donnie wants to use them as blackmail for whomever may be in them.

The administration she supports is showing “God’s love” by deploying the military into cities & masked goons into schools, courtrooms, & businesses, to beat up & kidnap neighbors, taking them to black site gulags here & abroad where they are chained, abused, & denied laws or basic human rights.

REALITY CHECK: Under the U.S. Constitution, states are responsible for regulating elections, while Congress has the power to enact national election laws. The President does not have unilateral authority to impose new voting rules like nationwide voter ID requirements.
