My question for Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is simple: When you have so much money, more money than can be spent in a million lifetimes, why are you trying so hard to defeat workers who are demanding decent pay and decent working conditions?
Since 1985, the average Wall Street bonus has gone up 1,217%. If the federal minimum wage had increased at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses, it would be $44/hour. Instead, it's remained stuck at $7.25 an hour for 12 years. We must raise the minimum wage to at least $15/hour.
I don't care what was in his system. I don't care if he was drunk. I don't care if he was high. I don't care if he was angry. I don't care if he was sad. I don’t care. THAT COP’S KNEE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THAT MAN’S NECK FOR ALMOST 9 MINUTES. Period. End of story. That’s it.
I'm sorry Mr. Bezos won't join our hearing on income and wealth inequality. As the wealthiest person on earth I'd love to hear his reasoning as to why he is vigorously opposing a union organizing effort at Amazon which would improve wages and benefits for struggling workers.
The House has approved legislation that would create about 1.5 million acres of new wilderness and incorporate nearly 1,200 miles of waterways into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System as Democrats move to protect more public lands. https://t.co/JGfIWSbMOF
The 🔥 words of Costco’s CEO Craig Jelinek to the GOP Chicken Little arguments against min wage increases:
"I can tell you in my past experience that wages usually don't put people out of business, how you run your business will put you out of business." #FightFor15#CostcoStan

Thank you @RepAlGreen for your words of wisdom and your actions to stand up for all human rights.
I’ve performed all over Texas. I love that state. And I HATE that this is happening to its residents because of short-sighted greed. The pendulum has got to swing HARD the other way, for everyone’s sake.

We must end this international embarrassment
This is what the Big Lie is all about. Three months after the election, and 61 court decisions later, Trump and his attorneys still refuse to acknowledge that he lost the election. Pathetic.
Yes! Yes! OMG Yes! If you don’t understand how your government works it becomes increasingly more difficult to hold those in it accountable. (Trust me, there are many who want to keep it that way!) https://t.co/D6Ec48OEIU
At Trump’s first impeachment trial, 1 Republican voted to convict him.
At his second impeachment trial, 7 Republicans voted to convict him.
In American history, those are the first 8 votes cast by a member of a president’s party to convict him on an article of impeachment.
Unsurprisingly: McConnell blames Trump's lies for causing the insurrection. Trump is "practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."
He is hinging his acquittal vote on the constitutionality argument.
Republicans who made Hillary Clinton testify for 11 hours on Benghazi 2 years after she was secretary of state now say you can’t impeach Trump 3 weeks after he left office
@LindseyGrahamSC You and the rest of the compromised @SenateGOP are offensive and absurd. The testimony by House impeachment managers was horrifying and unequivocally established Trump’s guilt in inciting a terrorist insurrection.

@LindseyGrahamSC this doesn’t look good in the present so just think how it’s going to age. Tweets are records. You should know this as Trumps lying tweets are being used at the trial you’re talking about. Whew the stupidity. Trump is destroying your future. Wake up.
