Newsom signed the bill raising the minimum wage last September. When it takes effect on April 1, fast food workers in California will have the highest guaranteed […]
Someone should really make a documentary about this.

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) ran in the California Senate primary. She lost. She blamed her loss on the election being ‘rigged’ during an interview on a podcast earlier this month. Yikes!
