No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.

You will not distract us from this immoral war.

The pivot from 'the biggest problem in America is woke college campuses suppressing free speech and debate!' to 'send in the police and National Guard to silence student protests!!!' happened at dizzying speed

BREAKING: 4 million workers will now take home more money when they work more than 40 hours a week under a new Labor Dept. rule released today. The changes would make it so salaried workers earning less than about $59k annually would automatically be due overtime pay.

77% of Americans want a 4-day workweek.

Even corporate CEOs agree: it's the future.

Workers are 400% more productive than we were in the 1940s. They are also stressed out, anxious, and exhausted.

It's time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.

Yesterday the Supreme Court declined to hear our case that could have reaffirmed First Amendment protections for protest leaders and organizers.

We still have a fundamental right to protest — and we will fight for that right.

Maybe if you can afford to pay at least one executive an 8-figure salary, you don't need to lay off 5% of your staff actually

never, ever, trust a billionaire

I traveled to Scranton today to cover President Biden's tax fairness speech.

“Scranton values or Mar-a-Lago values? These are competing visions for our economy and they raise the fundamental fairness to the heart of this campaign.”

No one wants to see a picket line on @SesameStreet. What would that even look like? Can Elmo hold a picket sign in his furry little hands? What would Oscar the Grouch shout into a bullhorn?
