You deserve to be paid for the hours you work, especially those hours over 40 a week. An updated Overtime Rule will help guarantee that.

The House passed Maloney’s anti-discrimination bill last night. But gutted it 2 mins later. Time to reset the counter
Congratulations to my Republican friends. This is quite a milestone.
The GOP claim POTUS shouldn’t act on immigration because it’s Congress’ job…while they block immigration reform from ever coming to a vote.
The Heritage Foundation’s new budget proposal slashes investments in America’s future and follows the “cut and grow” strategy that has failed in other developed nations. It’s called a Blueprint for Balance but it should really be called a Blueprint for Recession.
Happy Festivus, everyone! As the tradition goes, Festivus begins with the airing of the grievances. I’ve got a lot of problems with Republicans, and now, you’re gonna hear about them.

Mr. Speaker. 70 years ago my parents and grandparents were stripped of their possessions and placed in Japanese-American internment camps.
They were not guilty of espionage. They did not commit treason. They simply looked like our enemy — and that cost my family their freedom.
Yesterday, the mayor of Roanoke, Virginia, suggested that this country’s treatment of Japanese-Americans during the 1940s is a model for how we should address today’s global refugee crisis.
It does not take courage to condemn such disgraceful comments, nor does it take wisdom to say our World War Two policies were a product of fear and hysteria.
What takes wisdom is recognizing that history is now repeating itself. And what takes courage is sending a message to the world that America will protect innocent people regardless of their nationality or religion.
That’s what my mother and father deserved 70 years ago, and it’s what these refugees deserve today.
Thank you and I yield back.
When Paul Ryan was elected Speaker of the House last week, he promised not to duck the tough issues. That promise comes with a few notable exceptions.
A welcome message to the newly elected Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. Don’t let Tea Party Republicans stand in the way of progress.
The Struggle is in fact… Real.
I’ve got a new logo. And a new(ish) website.
What do you think?
Republicans are struggling to select the next Speaker of the House. I thought I’d help out by posting a Craigslist ad for the position.
