The federal minimum wage is stuck at $7.25/hr. That wasn't enough ten years ago when it was first implemented, and it isn’t enough now. Retweet if you agree. It’s long past time to
#RaiseTheWage so every American can earn $15/hr for a single job. -
Trump is the worst president ever. He’s a racist traitor who doesn’t care about the American people. Retweet if you agree. He should resign and move to Russia, where he belongs.

Mitch McConnell should lose in 2020. Retweet if you agree.

We JUST passed the
#RaiseTheWage Act! In a country this rich, we can no longer ignore the fact that there are people working full time who are unable to live. Plus, when people make more, they spend more and reinvest in small businesses. Raising the wage is a win-win. pic.twitter.com/jC2aKSIzZo -
