March 25, 1911.Frances Perkins watched 146 women jump from ninth-floor windows. The Triangle Factory doors were locked-owners wanted to prevent "theft." The women had two choices: burn or jump. The sound of
bodies hiing pavement repeated over and over. She stood there and made a promise: never again. Twelve years later, she became first woman in a presidential Cabinet. She built the laws that gave you weekends, overtime pay, Social Security. Every protection you have at work exists because one woman watched people die and spent
54 years making sure it never happened again. Remember her: Frances Perkins.
The $90 billion that was dumped into Mark Zuckerberg's now discontinued Metaverse could have ended child hunger, put 10 million

This is one of the most psychologically revealing things he’s ever said. Consider that we’re supposed to be his “friends.”
“I don't like friends that become very successful. I like people that are just OK. Even if they're terrible, I like that, too. I hate like when I have lunch with somebody that's really, really successful. I hate it. Because he or she is bragging about how great they are. And I hate that when they do that. Because they stopped me from talking about the fact that I became president.”
Companies that have paid settlements to the Trump Library Fund:
ABC: $15 million

In the middle of a war, Pete Hegseth is trying to censor a military newspaper.
We NEED clear, uncensored reporting right now.
This is a blatant attack on the First Amendment, and I’m fighting back.
A Lt. Governor debate just got cancelled because most candidates refused to show up. If you want a job, you should be willing to answer questions about it.
I'm not dodging anything. Ask me whatever you want. Right here. I'm answering.
