"According to Oxfam, an individual belonging to the richest 0.1% of the planet emits more carbon in a single day than the poorest 50% of the world's population over an entire year.

Thanks to @SenSanders & @BobbyScott for reintroducing the Raise the Wage Act, which will raise the fed. min. wage to $17. In 2024, Oxfam found that nearly 1 in 4 U.S. workers made less than $17 per hour, unable to cover basic costs of living. https://t.co/0ws9OLkYiy
Once again: the Trump administration is not above the law. It must abide by SCOTUS’s ruling and immediately reinstate aid funding.
