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...

“Absurd & inhuman violence is spreading through the sacred places…profaned by the blasphemy of war & brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives…But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.” ~ Pope Leo XIV

The President of the United States is a liar.

They could not look guiltier if they tried. If Mitch is dead/incapacitated, These people should be in prison for fraud/racketeering. They’re defrauding the people of Kentucky for their salaries at the VERY least. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #MissingMitchMcconnell
