They're letting a parliamentarian that nobody has ever heard of determine whether the minimum wage can pass through budget reconciliation. After several states, some hard GOP, decided it was time to raise the minimum wage on their own through individual state propositions.
The evidence is insanely clear that raising the minimum wage would benefit the entire economy and benefit the poorest of our society the most.

The Dems absolutely need to start showing that they're the party of the "people" if they want to keep the house in 2022.
f**k the Byrd rule. f**k the filibuster. GOP is holding CPAC and peddling lies about the integrity of the election. It's time to accept that rules mean nothing to them and we should show them what that means when we do the same.
GROW A PAIR.
