The administration can now legally terminate the policy (once again) due to a recent Supreme Court ruling.

I at first saw this video and thought this was a Dem account tweeting it because of how sweet it is, and then I saw it was from the RNC Research account, apparently pissed off that the President is a compassionate human who isn't a raging asshole.

DOJ says Eastman’s complaint that the investigation originated w the department’s inspector general — who only has jurisdiction over DOJ employees — is meritless. Probes of conspiracies to harm DOJ, they note, can clearly reach outside the department.

Having written four books my take is that it takes a TON of time and zillions of interviews and careful writing, editing and checking to document something phenomenal and it’s not usually “held back” so much as not ready to be seen earlier.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour.
If it had kept pace with worker productivity, it would be nearly $26/hour.
If it had risen at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses, it would be nearly $62/hour.
We need a living wage, now.
