Our country has been a state of forever war for decades now. We've destabilized regions, caused countless deaths, and fueled a generation of xenophobia. All in the name of peace – which is absolutely absurd.

Yes, America has a duty to defend itself, but this isn't that. And that's why I'm calling on Joe Biden to do a total review of our overseas military commitments and to finally end this forever war.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

... $7.25.

That's awful. Absolutely awful.

No one in America, working full-time, can reasonably survive — let alone get ahead — making that wage. It's an insulting relic and a testament to the imbalance of our economy.

It's the houseless family waiting at their local shelter. It's the parent who skips dinner so their child can eat. It's the service worker having to decide between buying food and paying the rent.

Hunger is all around us, and we must not ignore it.
