Mark Ruffalo is a good actor but knows nothing about the complexity of building and leading a coalition. Hakeem Jefferies isn't perfect. But he's better than anyone else we've had for a long time. And that includes Nancy Pelosi who presided over decades of growing inequality.

It drives me fucking crazy that I can't get the Democratic establishment to get behind raising the overtime threshold. It is the most important labor protection and job creation engine we have. Should be $90,000 dollars today. politico.com/magazine/story…
www.politico.com Whatever Happened to Overtime? It’s one reason we’re poorer than our parents. And Obama could fix it—without Congress. $15 made sense when we first proposed it in 2012. The number needs to be at least $25 an hour today.
