With the Golden Globes ceremony going virtual, the dress code was far from formal for several nominees who opted for a rather casual look. Social media was abuzz Sunday night over the Hawaiian shit sported by Bill Murray , nominated for his role in On the Rocks , who completed the tropical vibe with a martini in his hand and sunshine and greenery behind him. Jeff Daniels , a nominee for The Comey Rule, also became an instant social media darling for wearing a plaid, flannel shirt in a plain room that got its own Twitter recognition for its many, many doors. Ted Lasso ‘s Jason Sudeikis , nominee and winner for Actor In a Comedy Series and nominee for Comedy Series, turned heads with his tie-dye hoodie.

Americans want a $15-per-hour minimum wage . A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Thursday found 59 recent of the nation supports the long-debated wage hike Democrats are trying to work into the coronavirus spending bill. Only 34 percent oppose it. But if we know one thing about Republicans, it’s that they’re not going to let the will of the people upend their relentless conviction to screw over poor people at every turn imaginable. Some of them are defending their opposition to bumping the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour, where it’s been since 2009 , to $15 an hour by arguing that the impoverished can simply work harder, pulling themselves up their bootstraps to take hold of the American Dream just like these senators did when they were younger, many decades ago when Americans could live on far less.

On a stage in Las Vegas Wednesday night, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met to begin the ceremonial process of drawing our long national nightmare to an end. (Or maybe not: asked if he’ll concede the race if he loses, Trump said, “I’ll look at it at the time.”) The 25th and final debate of the 2016 election began with Donald Trump insulting Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and closed with Trump calling Clinton “a nasty woman.” Between those bookends, though, moderator Chris Wallace bravely navigated the candidates through one of the more substantive debates of the general election – pressing both on issues like abortion, national debt and immigration that went largely neglected in previous rounds. Trump, who has clashed with moderators in the past, appeared pleased with Wallace’s questions, interjecting, “Thank you !” in response to a Clinton question about Wikileaks and, “Correct!” in the middle of a question to Clinton about the state of the economy. But … [Read more...] about 17 WTF Moments From the Final Debate of the 2016 Election

Will a hike in the minimum wage be part of the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion relief bill? A decision by the Senate parliamentarian has thrown a monkey wrench in progressive plans. Elizabeth MacDonough has reportedly determined that a provision to raise the wage floor for millions of Americans violates the special rules that allow the relief package to pass in the Senate with a simple majority. That does not mean a minimum wage hike is completely dead for 2021, rather that raising it will require a standalone bill, subject to the usual 60 vote threshold in the Senate. A $15 minimum wage was a stretch even for conservative Democrats. It’s unlikely a wage higher than $10 an hour can garner bipartisan support, and even that’s not a safe bet.
