    We believe in the Rule of Law. Domestic terrorism threatens the rule of law. Seeking to overturn an election threatens the rule of law, as well as our democracy. We need to heed 's call for an investigation into the behavior of the ringleaders of today's catastrophe.

    I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office. I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.

    We urge President-elect Biden to swiftly reverse Trump's anti-worker regulatory agenda once in office.

    Trump's DOL finalized a rule today that would classify gig workers as independent contractors, exempting them from the minimum wage, overtime pay, etc. It doesn't take effect until March and Biden admin could reject it.

    . was saying this back in 2014: “the data show the real average hourly wage [for transportation and warehousing] has risen by 1.7 percent over the last seven years.”

    Disappointed in Marketplace for another story on the "trucker shortage" that only glancingly mentions pay at the very end. Even then it gets the causation wrong: Low wages beget labor scarcity just as much as labor scarcity (sometimes) boosts wages!
