I may have missed it...

but have we had a real conversation about how Biden's stimulus bill included raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15.00 an hour?

Some people seem to want to complain about $1,400 vs $2,000 checks and this significant progressive goal is being ignored.

1. For corporate media, the policy is always to focus on a negative

They will never highlight any positive actions or accomplishments of Democrats.

Luckily for them we have plenty of allies willing to loudly point out any perceived shortcomings - So there is never any shortage of quotes they can use to undercut the Democratic Party

Biden could achieve 98% of the Progressive Agenda and the focus would be on the costs and the 2% that was missed...I intend to simply enjoy the victories, ignore the noise machine and work harder to make sure the Senate stays Blue in '22...
