.@Instacart was last valued at nearly $8 billion. A company of this size should not be forcing its workers to put themselves — and us all — at risk. I stand with the workers, and encourage Instacart to meet the their demands.

Van Hollen: “We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. [They] sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates, and my strong view is only under very, very rare exceptions should the DSCC be weighing in.”

Yeah sex is great but have you ever heard someone tell Steve Bannon that exit polls show that young men are evenly split between Dems and Republicans and he goes silent and then says, in a very soft voice: "that can't be right"
Remember when the hyenas realised all the promises Scar made to them were lies, and he’d destroyed every semblance of normalcy and stability, so they turned around and ate him? Just pointing that out for absolutely no reason at all.
Just last month, DoorDash couldn’t seem to find the money to pay their deliveristas — until our administration forced them to give back $131M+ in stolen wages and penalties.
This week, they’ve managed to find $17 billion to acquire one of their main competitors.
Corporate consolidation means higher prices, harsher exploitation, and greater economic inequality for New Yorkers.
We’ve stood up to these giants before. That doesn’t stop now.
“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.”

In 2004, I got into Drexel as the first person in my family to attend college. I had no idea it was the most expensive school in the country. Student loan companies let an 18-year-old sign his way into ~$180,000 of debt.
I graduated in 2008, into that economy, and spent the next 18 years paying back every penny—plus all the interest—with zero financial help from anyone.
Today, I made my final payment.
And now that I’ve paid mine off, I can confidently say: cancel student loan debt.
This system set me back financially for nearly two decades. I don’t need someone else to struggle for 18 years just because I did.
Give a generation the freedom to buy homes, start families, build wealth, and live the lives they were promised before we let them sign themselves into a hole at 18.
“You’ve seen me deliver.”
That’s what Collins told Kao, he said, as her staff pressured him to up his donations. Kao wound up giving the Collins super PAC $150,000 in late 2019. Weeks later, according to an email, Collins’ office agreed to support $32m in new Navatek projects.
Well I'll be damned 🤯
