Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

I think people who find out truly horrible shit about a politician but doesn't tell anyone so they can hold out for a book deal are shitty humans.

I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

Half the Republican Party is like “the economy is amazing all thanks to trump, it’s a golden age” and the other half is like “the economy is terrible and it’s all joe Biden’s fault. Give us two more years and then we will fix it”

It's literally this. Being a man = strength = brutality.

I really think we gotta explore why Republicans keep voting for guys whose whole personas are "serial killer with a chip on his shoulder." What is it about these obvious pieces of shit that draws these voters in.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

There are MANY true crime accounts where women “comply” or appease rapists/killers as their only hope of escaping alive. Too often the police think those acts of compliance are “consent” and do nothing.

Is that a boot print with blood on it in the background? When they show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Strongmen are always looking out for number one: themselves. That’s why they create inner sanctums around themselves, surrounding themselves with family members who do not give them objective feedback. We should all be concerned when leaders surround themselves with only sycophants.

Of course, she looks like Kyrsten Sinema‘s sister. Do they make traitors the Democratic Party in an Arizona factory?

Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙

Seattle understood the assignment

That's typical abuser speech. "Why did she do stuff for me if she was afraid I'd beat her up?" 🙄 Yeah. That's why 💩🤡

"6 days later"? Really weird to mark a time span on something he's claiming *didn't* happen.

My husband said, if the abuse didn't happen, how does he remember dinner was 6 days later. 6 days later than what exactly?

I thought abusing girls and women was their platform 🤔
