The solution is raising wages for people at the bottom, reducing the cost of education/housing, forgiving student debt, and creating a more progressive tax system. Some form of UBI would probably also seem to be in order.

Rep. Tim Ryan Gives Impassioned Floor Speech For Unions
"Left of Lenin" in all caps from my trumper uncle on facebook. What did I miss?
Dunno, but your uncle missed an education.
I love me some Katie Porter
At this point I would guess that most Trumper's believe that Reagan's policies were left of Lenin, so who the feck knows.
She is quality.
Unsurprisingly NOT ONE Republican voted for it to pass in the Senate, yet according to polls 75% of the public were in favour of it.
And Merrick Garland confirmed as Attorney General. 70-30
Quite the day.
In today’s episode…
But he voted against it.

I was bein guv'nor before they actually voted me in as guv'nor.
you just beat me to it.
Not unprecedented either. Arnie and Ron Regan paved the way for him.
His first act as governor will absolutely be to legalize weed.
Reporter: What, in your opinon, are the three worst things about US politics right now?
McConaughey: Alt-right, alt-right, alt-right
McConaughey: Alt-right, alt-right, alt-right
If McConaughey runs as a Dem, he will have a decent shot at winning.
I'd rather see him run as Senator and kick out Cancun Cruz but I can see Gov. as more preferable in his case
Cruz isn't up for reelection until 2024.
It will be interesting to see how he handles his reelection since he likely will also be going hard for the presidential nomination. I'm trying to remember the last time a senator was up for election and also running for president. They would have to chose one, right? I am assuming someone(s) will need to primary for his senate seat.
Also, pretty sure Beto is eyeing the Gov and Senate seats.
MM really isn't the answer to the problems of Texas.
Seems Texans don't want anything to do with answers. Look at how crap their governor is and he's under no real pressure.
This guy thinks he's a teflon don.
Funny, when he was pro-#meToo seemed to not mind people being cancelled.
replies to this tweet is "now do Trump" and allegedly that these accusations against Cuomo are a Republican operative
