Senator Chris Murphy is introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour.
The bill would increase the $7.25 hourly wage over 6 years and prohibit subminimum wages for tipped workers.
Nearly half of American workers make less than $25 an hour.
An independent U.N. commission said that the Israeli military had deliberately targeted children in Gaza, amounting to genocide.
The commission said it found a pattern of behavior that reflected a strategy to destroy the future of Palestinians. https://t.co/SndPKA1jDL
