The Biden-Harris admin changed OT pay rules to include more workers.
Guess what happened next?

A new report found that child labor violations surged 266% in Arkansas between 2020 and 2023.
What else happened in 2023? Arkansas loosened its child labor laws.
This is all part of an alarming nationwide trend.

Attorneys representing Amazon and SpaceX are in court today, arguing that the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional.
If they get their way, two of the richest people on the planet will have gutted the enforcement of labor laws designed to protect working people.

NEW: In order to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for the wealthy, Trump's advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal safety net programs. wapo.st/40SuTMR

A reminder that when Trump supporters were given Harris policy proposals blindly they supported them. Also, those who had incorrect facts about the major issues - economy, inflation, crime, border - they overwhelmingly went Trump. Those with facts went Harris.
Meaning, many of these Trump voters have no idea what's actually about to happen to them. Example: Trump tariffs and increased costs.

In 2017, as acting ICE Director, Tom Homan chose to spread disinfo about the California wildfires saying an undocumented immigrant had started them. He went on to attack the local Sheriff's office, while they were in the middle of dealing with responding to this natural disaster, asking them to hand over the individual to ICE. The immigrant had NOTHING to do with the wildfires. Those of us working at DHS who were actually committed to homeland security watched this with horror internally as it played out. Remember this going forward when things like this happen again.

#ACTUALNEWS: Taliban Seeks 'New Chapter' in Relations with Trump Administration
A senior official from Afghanistan's Taliban government told Bloomberg that they are looking to reset their relationship with the Trump administration, including the release of $9 billion in frozen foreign exchange reserves. As the Taliban strives for international recognition, it held formal talks with India last week and sent a delegation to the ongoing UN climate summit for the first time.

It appears that all of Trump's picks relating to the military and national security support Israel's annexation of the West Bank and/or Gaza.

The Office of Government Efficiency is off to a great start with split leadership: two people to do the work of one person.
Yeah, this seems REALLY efficient.

This is why there were so many people killed during floods in Valencia, Spain. The local right wing administration had cut the budget weather forecasts and an early warning system, on the excuse that climate change was a hoax. There are now riots calling for their removal.

The @NCSBE has just released a list of mail ballots that havent been counted yet: 15,176 - including 3,727 in Wake County. (Meck finished counting last week). Since Dems won mail ballots, this suggests Jefferson Griffin's 7,641 vote lead over @AllisonJRiggs will shrink further.

I just got informed by a volunteer for the Democratic Party that my vote hasn’t been counted because my absentee ballot needs to be cured. The North Carolina Supreme Court race still hasn’t been called & as they continue to count more votes the Republican’s lead keeps shrinking

Meet your new Homeland Security Secretary who believes Texas was one of the original 13 colonies.
Noem: Texas and the 13 original colonies would have never signed the treaty that formed the first constitution of the United States if they didn't think their right to protect themselves was protected
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Texas was not a state at the time of the signing of the constitution. It became a state of the USA in 1845.

As an insurrectionist, Donald Trump is ineligible to hold any national office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
The only way he can become eligible again is a 2/3rds vote in both chambers of Congress.
Leader Schumer should call the vote immediately. 1/

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.
I would know because I wrote the law.
Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.
This is what illegal corruption looks like. cnn.com/2024/11/09/politics/…

Well, we now know the first agency they are shutting down, the Dept of Education.
In New America, you will have to pay to educate your kids because they are going to need them in the fields and in the meat processing plants.

Trump's Interior Secretary faced an investigation for corruption.
Trump's EPA head resigned after corruption scandal.
Trump's Labor Secretary resigned after Epstein corruption scandal.
Trump's Transportation Secretary resigned after corruption scandal.
Trump's Health Secretary resigned after corruption scandal.
Trump's Energy Secretary resigned after corruption scandal.
All of this happened while Trump was president, under Trump's corrupt DOJ.
