    Default Let's face it - Joe Biden is an empty suit. Focus on Shamala



    THIS IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

    Joe Biden is a sick old man.

    It's obvious that whatever pharmaceuticals the DEMOCRATS may have employed to keep him sentient in the final stages of their election theft last year are no longer able to conceal his affliction.

    He was never the radical left's pick in the first place, and the Byzantine maneuvers of Nasty Nancy's "Commission " to replace him were filed last October, making the malevolent Machiavellian mistress of the mendacious mob the unelected VP when Shamala supplants the doddering drooler who currently serves as the DEMOCRAT Party's floundering figurehead.

    Default Progressives beg Shamala to stuff $15 wage hike into porkulus

    Twenty-three progressives on Monday sent a letter to Shamala Harris demanding that Harris use her power to force the $15 minimum wage increase to stay in the latest pork-filled "COVID relief bill".

    The Senate Parliamentarian previously ruled that including the minimum wage increase violated the budget reconciliation process.

    House progressives, however, believe Harris can overrule the decision. They cited prior precedent that where two former vice presidents ignored the Senate Parliamentarian rulings.

    Below is the full letter:

    As the United States continues to battle dual economic and public health crises, it is more important now than ever that we deliver relief to Americans. Eighty-one million people cast their ballots to elect you on a platform that called for a $15 minimum wage. We urge you to keep that promise and call on the Presiding Officer of the Senate to refute the Senate Parliamentarian’s advice on a Byrd Rule point of order and maintain the $15 minimum wage provision in the American Rescue Plan.

    This has significant historical precedent. In 1967, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey disregarded the Parliamentarian’s advice while pushing to reduce the filibuster threshold from two-thirds of those present to three-fifths. Vice President Humphrey did the same again in 1969. Ultimately, Republican Vice President Nelson D. Rockefeller partnered with future Vice President Walter Mondale and succeeded in 1975 while again refuting the parliamentarian.

    For the last twelve years, working Americans have struggled to get by under a federal minimum wage that remains stuck at $7.25 per hour. Since its establishment in 1938 as part of the New Deal, the federal minimum wage has never gone this long without a boost. In fact, its purchasing power has fallen by nearly twenty-five percent due to inflation since its last increase in 2009. As you know, this policy has disproportionately hurt women and Black and Brown workers. Women make up nearly sixty percent of hourly workers making less than $15 per hour despite comprising only fifty percent of the overall hourly workforce. The disparate impact is even starker among Black and Brown workers, who make up only thirty-six percent of the hourly workforce yet work in nearly half of all jobs earning less than $15 per hour.

    We must act now to prevent tens of millions of hardworking Americans from being underpaid any longer. The outdated and complex Byrd rule rooted in restricting progress must not be an impediment to improving people’s lives. You have the authority to deliver a raise for millions of Americans. Thank you for your consideration.

    The letter was signed by Cori Bush (MO), Rashida Tlaib (MI), Ilhan Omar (MN), Jamaal Bowman (NY), Mondaire Jones (NY), Mark Pocan (WI), Bennie Thompson (MS), Earl Blumenauer (OR), Alan Lowenthal (CA), Marie Newman (IL), Veronica Escobar (TX), Raúl Grijalva (AZ), Gerald Connolly (VA), Mark DeSaulnier (CA), Betty McCollum (MN), Andy Levin (MI), Pramila Jayapal (WA), Jesus Garcia (IL), Barbara Lee (CA), Debbie Dingell (MI), Ritchie Torres (NY), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) and Ro Khanna (CA).
