Federal employees will get backpay when the shutdown ends. But that’s not true for subcontractors—the cafeteria, cleaning, and childcare workers that keep government buildings open. Real, hardworking people will struggle to make rent. They deserve better than political football.
This is Willie Jo Price.
She's been working in the cafeteria at the Library of Congress for 42 years & won’t get a paycheck or backpay if the government shuts down.
Fighting tears, she told me she worries if she will be able to pay her bills by the end of the month.

Let me clarify. We want to measure whether students go on to public interest or corporate interests. Clerkships, which are short-term and a credential sought by both people, don't speak to that--so the number will reflect what people do either after school or after clerking

UAW is calling on other unions to align their contract expiration dates with May Day 2028 so they can strike together. There's never been a moment like this in my entire life.

In 2016, you could get a $2 Uber because wages had been stagnant for 30 years and someone’s best option was to drive you around for less than minimum wage. Those weren’t “glory days” and I’m not interested in bringing that economy back.

For example, I went on to a public interest job after clerking, so I count as a public interest grad from c/o 2020. A classmate who clerked and then went to Jenner would be corporate. I think of clerking as, in some ways, like a fourth year of law school. Hope that helps :)

Alabama tortured Smith with a botched execution 14 months ago. Now, they're going to torture him to death with an untested, inhumane gas--all based on a law so unjust that the state repealed it in 2017.
The Supreme Court is going to let them do it. Don't forget their cruelty.
BREAKING: over the dissents of the three liberal justices, the Supreme Court denies a stay request and petition from Kenneth Eugene Smith. Alabama intends to execute Smith by means of nitrogen gas.

My takeaway from today's CFPB argument is that the Fifth Circuit has hurtled so far to the right that even Barrett and Kavanaugh think CA5 has gotten bananas. And that's a *problem,* bc the lawless Fifth Circuit can issue nationwide injunctions anytime they want.
Here's my writeup of today's oral arguments in the Supreme Court cases over CFPB's funding. Several conservative justices (including *Thomas*) seemed very reluctant to throw out the agency's funding structure.

There’s a better answer than obscure, hard-to-use tax breaks: widespread, fast, reliable, and free public transportation, paid for by taxing the billionaire class
You should get tax breaks for not driving, for not owning a car, for commuting by public transit. It's a total policy mindfuck that drivers get subsidies for new electric cars ostensibly for the environment but the minimal impact of non-drivers isn't recognized whatsoever.

Today, thanks to a tight labor market, more workers can demand steady jobs with decent pay, benefits, and safe working conditions.
The economy wasn't "good" when workers were forced to do sketchy day labor w/ rampant wage theft -- and I'm not interested in going back to that.

FYI Texas Supreme Court Justices are elected and three of these ghouls are up for re-election next year.
There it is. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that Kate Cox—a woman pregnant with a non-viable and life-threatening fetus—is not eligible for an exception to Texas’s abortion ban.
Cox has already left Texas to receive abortion care in another state.

Companies hire “compliance auditors” to deflect from real fixes for their wage theft and harassment. But auditing companies know which side their ($80 bil!) bread is buttered on, so they become part of the cover-up—even turning a blind eye to child labor at massive brands .
Rooting out child labor has become an $80 billion industry. But across the US, migrant children are getting by missed by design.
These kids work on Oreos, Skittles, Gerber baby food and the milk in Happy Meals, all in violation of basic child labor laws.
