16 years ago today, the federal minimum wage was raised to $7.25 per hour — and it hasn’t changed since.
That’s because the system is rigged against working people and for billionaires like Donald Trump.
Americans deserve better. It’s time to raise the wage.

Trump and Republicans' rescissions package will impact nearly every corner of Washington State. www.kuow.org/stories/wash...
Earlier this year, @reprashida.govpeeps.us and I introduced resolutions to block the sale of specific offensive weapons to Israel.
We need to respond to these atrocities with restraint and the assurance that any government will uphold U.S. law and international humanitarian law.
Trump can try to hide evidence and distract all he wants, but the American people deserve answers and will not back down.
Release the Epstein files.
Honored to join hundreds of advocates tonight to kick off a 60 hour Medicaid vigil — telling stories and sharing the impact of Trump and Republicans’ deadly Medicaid cuts.
We will not give up. We will not stop pushing. We will keep fighting for Medicaid and for those who rely on it.
The Epstein Files are an embodiment of everything Trump does: lies, lies, and more lies.
Whether it’s Medicaid cuts, tax breaks for the rich, or covering up the Epstein Files, Trump and his billionaire buddies will try and get away with anything — and screw you over while doing it.
Airlines are charging solo passengers more than couples — just another example of big corporations and the billionaires that run them ripping folks off.
It’s time for this type of corporate price gouging to end. Congress must act. www.economist.com/business/202...

BREAKING: The Justice Department told Trump that his name is in the Epstein Files.
The public deserves answers. Release all of the files NOW. www.wsj.com/politics/jus...
And now we know exactly what Trump has been so afraid of.
Release the files.

Trump’s appointees have ZERO IDEA what they are doing or what their jobs are.
Breathtaking and staggering incompetence. I truly could not believe what I was hearing.
Children are literally starving to death in Gaza.
The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war and using our taxpayer dollars to do it.
This plain cruelty must stop. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...
Trump wants to evict 1.4 MILLION Americans from their homes.
Housing is a human right — and our government needs to start acting like it. apnews.com/article/hud-...
Trump was wined, dined, and bribed in the UAE — and then promptly sold billions of dollars of weapons to the country without Congressional input.
He did this, not because it was in the best interests of the American people, but because it was in the best interests of Donald Trump.
Republicans passed a bill out of committee that weakens Congress’ ability to weigh in when Trump wants to sell drones, bombs, and other weapons to foreign governments.
They’re hiding these weapon sales from the public and removing all oversight.
Today I had the honor of meeting with Mahmoud Khalil, who was imprisoned for 104 days just for speaking out against the war in Gaza.
We had an important and productive conversation about Trump’s attacks on all immigrants and free speech and how we can keep fighting back.
The National Guard should not be used to conduct any form of immigration enforcement — full stop. www.cnn.com/2025/07/22/p...
Republicans are shutting down the House Floor because they’re too scared of another vote to release the Epstein Files.
What are they hiding?
GOP terrified of what’s in the files. The Big Bad Betrayal Party has scammed Americans again. Corruption, lies, and hypocrisy.
Release the files. All of them.
