A mass experiment in Iceland found that workers with four-day weeks became happier and healthier and got just as much done. It’ll take worker organizing to win a demand like that. jacobinmag.com/2021/07/four-d…
West Virginia has a clean water problem? Nobody's shocked one of the poorest states that's also Republican has unsafe drinking water. Nobody. Capitalism 101 folks! How much do you think bottled water companies are making off this exploitation? Tons.

As Chairman of the Budget Committee, I believe that NOW is the time to address the long-term crises facing working families. And, yes. We can pay for many of these proposals by demanding that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes.
Vision care is health care.
Dental care is health care.
Hearing care is health care.
That's why we must expand Medicare to cover dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids.
In a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we have got to have government finally start standing with the working families of this country, not just the rich. That is what this budget is about.
LIVE: The Budget Committee is holding a hearing on President Biden's budget proposal, which is the most significant agenda for working families in the modern history of our country. Now is the time to think big, not small.
The clock is ticking. Every day that we delay bold action on climate change is one day closer for more droughts and forest fires, more heat waves, more flooding, more sea rising, more extreme weather. For the sake of future generations we must act NOW.
Now is the time to think big, not small — that means restoring the corporate tax rate to 35%, cracking down on offshore tax shelters, and closing corporate tax loopholes. This would generate at least $2.3 TRILLION to invest in the long-neglected needs of the working class.
This is Adam Toledo seconds before being shot dead by Chicago PD. Don’t you dare make excuses for the cop who killed him. Adam was told to put his hands up. He did. #AdamToledo
UPDATE: Chicago has released bodycam video of the police killing of 13-year-old #AdamToledo:
▪️ The video shows Adam had his hands up when police opened fire, killing him.
▪️ Cook County now says prosecutor made an error when they said Adam was holding a gun.
Police said they believed Tamir’s toy was a gun when they killed him.
Police said they believed Stephon’s phone was a gun when they killed him.
And now that they’ve killed Daunte, they believe that their own, real, actual gun was a taser?
We don’t buy it.
If we end dozens of tax loopholes, subsidies and other special interest giveaways to big oil, coal and gas companies, we can save taxpayers up to $150 billion over the next decade.
Life expectancy for low-income Americans is right now about 15 years lower than for the wealthy. Poverty in the richest country in the history of the world is a death sentence.
Maybe it's a radical idea in Washington, but no. I do not believe that the billionaire class should pay a lower effective tax rate than the middle class. A profitable corporation like Zoom should not be able to pay nothing in federal income taxes when its profits go up by 4,000%.
