Fascinating. "Protect your mornings ... your brain is most attuned first thing in the morning, and so are your energy levels. Consequently, the best time to do your best work is during the first three hours of your day." getpocket.com/explore/item/t…

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Green, we all must come together and agree that the federal government shouldn’t be creating a database to surveil Americans.
So pleased to post my interview w/stage and screen star @AnaGasteyer, who graciously showed fellow @SidwellFriends grads inside @NBCSNL and beyond: sidwell.edu/alumni/magazine/…

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to attain significant popularity. It was launched in 2009.
Lowercase all references to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, consistent with the style for conventional currency

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.
And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.
And this story barely makes the news today. WTF.

One more reason we need livable salaries.
The $42,500 pay floor proposed by @merrillwilliams is ridiculously low!

New from me:
The freelance-busting brigade’s problem isn’t a lack of new research. It’s that current research shows independent contracting is an 80/20 issue--and they're on the wrong side.
Another new poll just confirmed this, from @IWF

Elon Musk called my husband @CaptMarkKelly a traitor. Yesterday, Roger Stone said he should be executed for treason.
After last year, Trump and his allies should understand that the threat of political violence is real. It stole a job that I loved. Inciting violence is unAmerican — it’s what extremists do. Anyone serious about protecting this country should know the difference.

You cannot repeal the first amendment by tweet. I know this because I watched Schoolhouse Rock.

New DNC head is *still* pushing narrative of independent contractors and misclassification
* BLS: 80% of ICs prefer to be self-employed
* Gallup: 62% of Americans would prefer to be own boss
* Everywhere freelance busting has been tried, it organized opposition to lawmakers
Today, I released a framework detailing how the Democratic Party will fight against Trump’s war on working people.

You are totally making things up. I’m not even worth $1 million. Nor even $500k. I don’t even own a house! I am one of the lowest net worth members of Congress, trade no stock, and take no outside income.
My filings are public. I loathe corruption, and your lying is disgusting.
