Trump just picked Fox host Pete Hegseth to be his Secretary of Defense. In 2019 Hegseth said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing.”😐
It’s official. We’ve all lived long enough to see Idiocracy transform from parody to documentary.
Time to focus on local and state, I guess. The federal government is going to disappear.
So I subscribed to @NJcom and Jersey City Times.
Hopefully we can elect Solomon as mayor next year
Pennsylvania’s minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009, which is ridiculous. Republicans have stood in the way of attempted raises for years.
Thanks, PA Democrats, for finally passing this with your new Democratic majority. Now we need some Republicans in the Senate to hear from voters about passing it there and we flip that, too, next round.

Pennsylvania’s Democratic-controlled House of Representatives approved a measure that would raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2026 in a close vote Tuesday, a long-held party campaign plank that has run up against Republican legislative majorities for years.
Netflix crackdown on account sharing hits US with $8 fee for each extra user
"Your Netflix account is for you and the people you live with," email tells users.
Over half of the annual military budget goes to for-profit companies.
We could be feeding people with that money, housing people, providing healthcare and education for working people with that money.

It's criminal.

So they're filming for the Netflix series Eric outside my house on Wayne St #JerseyCity
We had to move all our cars so they could park all their equipment and cars.
I got to see Benedict Cumberbatch run by my window last night, which was neat.
But it irks me that they're also able to keep me from returning my house if they're filming. Like, they didn't okay any of this with me. I'm not getting compensated. If I leave my house and return when they're filming, I have to wait at the corner.
CNN giving a sociopath more than an hour to lie on live TV in front of MAGA cheerleaders reminds me that ...
... Joe Biden cleaned up the economic mess that sociopath left behind & led the USA to the strongest post-pandemic economic comeback in the World.
