Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind.

The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.

Learn about an excellent study from the Ludwig Institute.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
