Graphic showing the length of mandatory paid leave for new mothers in countries worldwide. The average length of that leave is 29 weeks. In the U.S., it's zero. Image credit: New York Times.
The U.S. was a pioneer in labor union organization, but it soon lagged behind Western Europe. While many developed nations established centralized, government-funded leave systems after WWI, the U.S. has historically relied on a patchwork of private employer policies and state-level mandates. /8

This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo
The moral turpitude of this administration, which whines endlessly about how no one does enough for America but condemns those who have put their lives on the line for Americans to the woodchipper, is dark, weak, and soulless

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.
He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

I donโt think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, donโt pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

Tell me why I'm not allowed to buy two boxes of Sudafed because they are afraid I may be cooking meth.
However an 18-year-old can go in and buy two AR-15s and 365 rounds of ammunition and no one bats an eye.

Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again.
Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe itโs better to depend on China than on the US.
The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

Because this makes sense, it will probably never happen, but just once, if they lifted the cap, it would make the system work as it was designed. Can you imagine how much life could change for people who rely solely on Social Security to get by?
