There’s good reason federal employee unions don’t use last week’s Federal Salary Council report to demand a mighty pay raise for their members. The council says Uncle Sam’s workforce is underpaid, not including benefits, by almost 35 percent compared with the private sector. That’s a huge difference, particularly when compared with last year’s figure of 26.3 percent.

  • Trump Border Czar Tom Homan: Put U.S. Kids Born To Migrants In Halfway Houses
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 10:16 AM

    Power-drunk Trump Border Czar Tom Homan claimed he can legally detain undocumented worker's babies born in the U. S. by putting them in halfway houses. Are these babies drug addicts? See, halfway houses sounds better than detainment centers or prisons. Last Thursday, General Zod told NewsNation that the Trump administration is considering putting US-born children of migrants into halfway houses as a form of shelter instead of what it actually is, imprisonment. HOMAN: As far as U.

  • Did Merrick Garland End Our Democracy?
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 08:00 AM

    Why did Merrick Garland not get he had to act like his hair was on fire after the first attempted coup since the Civil War? Put aside legal considerations for a sec. Why didn't he immediately appoint Jack Smith, hold weekly press conferences giving scared Americans--many of whom were eventually tricked by Trump--updates on what happened & what he was doing (no, he didn't have to share case specifics, but after Comey & Barr's breach of protocol & GOP lies, don't tell me he couldn't share generalities narratives & what we all saw on tv--reinforcing that MAGA were traitors & seditionists).
