Back when I was a kid, a minimum-wage job could support a family of three. Today, a full-time minimum-wage job in America won’t keep a mama and a baby out of poverty. Our movement is about making real, fundamental change to fix this.

What an idiot.The two Nigerian brothers arrested in connection with the assault on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett are no longer suspects in the attack. They're now cooperating with police.
A source close to the investigation confirms to CBS News the brothers told detectives Smollett paid them to participate in the alleged attack on January 29 and that they purchased the rope — which was found around Smollett's neck — at a nearby hardware store. The source said detectives have evidence to corroborate the sale, something the men's attorney alluded to Friday night.

Texas Rep. Will Hurd, the sole Republican representing a congressional district along the southern border, said more than 1,000 farmers in his state are at risk of having their land seized by the federal government to facilitate the construction of President Trump's long-promised wall.
"In the great state of Texas, we care about a little thing called private property, and there's going to be over 1,000 ranchers and farmers potentially impacted if the government comes in and takes their land," Hurd said on "Face the Nation" Sunday.
To build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the Trump administration will likely attempt to seize private property along the frontier using the power of eminent domain, which allows the government to trigger a process to buy and ultimately acquire private land for public use.
"What we're doing with eminent domain is, in many cases, we'll make a deal up front. We've already done that. The secretary has done a lot of that," the president told reporters in January, offering no specifics to support the claim. "And if we can't make a deal, we take the land and we pay them through a court process. Which goes actually fairly quickly. And we're generous. But we take the land. Otherwise you could never build anything. If you didn't use eminent domain, you wouldn't have one highway in this country. You have to use eminent domain."

The highest adjusted (for inflation to 2018 dollars) minimum wage was in 1968 (she would have been 18 - still 'a kid' to a 70 year old), when it was just under $12/hr. That $12/hr full time today would put a family of three a couple thousand above the poverty level.I doubt this.

If they pegged the minimum wage to inflation when it was first instituted by FDR, it would only be 3.60 to 4.20.

McCabe is a bad actor and not someone who screams credibility, much like Comey. A bunch of dunces the lot of them (and, yes that includes Trump for the whatabout team).

Comey and McCabe have both openly lied, but since they are "Anti-Trump" it makes it okay.

Re: the Jussie Smollett story, I would love for the feds to come at him hard with felony charges for deliberately sending fraudulent mail through the USPS. I see Pelosi quietly deleted her previous tweet. Don't hold your breath waiting for the admissions of error on the part of the Left.

So you're answer to this comment is to claim you don't believe McCabe...because he's lied before.

Yes Trump is an idiot that often believes dictators over intelligence officials. What is also true is that McCabe is a sleaze of a human.Former FBI chief Andrew McCabe says Trump rejected advice from his US intel agencies on the threat posed by North Korea’s missiles, saying “I don’t care.

As opposed to what? Taking up lobbying?

They are definitely credible in some fashion. But that doesn’t discount they are sleaze taking advantage of dumbasses that want to hear anti-trump rhetoric, by pushing partisan messages and saying they are the moral authority.
