Republicans in Iowa are pushing a bill to roll back child labor protections.

It would allow kids as young as 14 to work certain jobs in meatpacking plants.

What if…and hear me out…we paid adult workers a living wage and gave them benefits instead of hiring children to work?

teacher: what does “agnostic” mean?

me: I don’t know

teacher: correct! how about “ambivalent”?

me: *shrug*

teacher: yes! how about “nihilistic”?

me: what difference does any of this make?

@stopgopfox By appointing election deniers to top Congressional Committees we can be assured that whatever they say in their new roles will not be believed whatsoever. This session will be the saddest two years of Congress I have seen in my many years of life. Appointing people to leadership who should have been expelled from Congress is really bad for the country. Just saying.
The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complain about increased IRS funding, remember that the richest 1 percent of Americans evade $163 billion in taxes each year. That’s who the GOP is protecting.
This report was brought to you by YOU. If you the voter had not voted for a Democratic House in 2018 and 2020 and Senate—this report wouldn’t exist. VOTE. https://bit.ly/3BVjYoh #JAN6 #January6thCommittee #politics #USA

It's important to remember that the partisan makeup of the #January6thCommittee was entirely decided by republicans. They were offered to be equal partners with the same format of the 9/11 committee, but they declined.

They chose not to participate (other than a few that defied their party) because they WANTED it to be viewed as partisan. They knew what Trump did was unlawful and they wanted to provide political cover for him anyway.

We need to see every email Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden may have written. But asking a former president to reveal his tax returns, the way every president since Nixon has, is totally unfair.

Corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019.

Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases.

Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.

As more journalist and news sources pour into Mastsdon, it’s evident that it will need the sports and entertainment industry reporting accounts to fill in some of the void as well. #twittermigration #sportstalk
