Yesterday's New York Times reported that, under Republican pressure, the US Department of Defense budget was increased and is approaching $1T.

The federal minimum wage remains at $7.25/h.

This kinda gets overruled on a state by state basis.
So New York has a minimum wage of $13.20.
The economic miracle that is MS has $7.25.
CA, the 4th largest economy in the world, has $15.

Not for nothing said:
Hypocrite
This one-word explains the republican party, they usually go against their own beliefs:
Abortion, their against as a party yet they voted for Walker ?
Gay, Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.) “NO” vote on an earlier version of the bill caused an uproar in July after it came out that he attended his son’s wedding to another man within days of the vote.

I have a Catholic friend very anti-abortion, but said he would have vote for Walker?

If you want to be a Republican fine, But don't vote for liars, cheats, thief's...............

It's not hypocrisy, it's entitlement and raw power.

They don't "believe in" those things, they seek to impose those things on others.

I am inclined to favor states choosing, as many do, to go higher. A one-size fits all approach, without taking into account cost of living (intending to provide a "living wage"), seems unwieldy.

A living wage in California would be a king's ransom in Mississippi.

That said, a federal minimum wage that hasn't changed since July 24, 2009 is absurd. How much has the cost of every-fucking-thing gone in the last 13 years?

It turns out Mark Meadows was registered to vote in 3 different states. Now the authorities are trying to sort out whether he is or is not above the law.
Trump’s former Chief of Staff is facing prosecution for voter fraud as North Carolina prosecutors decide whether to charge the disgraced former congressman for casting a ballot in the state and using an address he never lived in.

According to state law, voters must “physically live” at the property attached to their registration, and intentionally providing false information is subject to prosecution and several months in jail if convicted.

After news reports questioning whether the ex-President’s right-hand man voted illegally, Attorney General Josh Stein asked the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations to open a probe into the allegations in March of this year, local affiliate WRAL News reported.

The SBI handed the voter fraud case back over to Stein’s office in November of this year.


“Prosecutors with the AG’s Office will determine whether criminal charges are appropriate, not the SBI,” the agency said in a statement, adding, “Because the case is now pending a decision by the AG’s Office, no additional information is available.”
