Not a Trump policy, but Josh Hawley signed onto a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15.
Crowd estimate is "at least 1000". Just for the record. I'm not being snarky or dismissive.

SLMPD operated to perfection, no instigating from either side, seemed like both the PD and protesters understood they are not each others enemy, and a totally peaceful uneventful protest in what's described as a "warzone".
I was told that it was gonna look like 2020 today. Huh.
Hopefully Metro got a bunch of ridership and hopefully downtown businesses got a lot of foot traffic today.
The funniest part is that they actively push and enact policies that make these actual issues worse.quincunx wrote: ↑Jun 15, 2025If only people with cars and guns were so peaceful. Funny how people with signs and bull horns are so suspect met with finger waging "better be peaceful" when people with guns and cars wreak havoc everyday.
I guess Kehoe calling up the National Guard was just an attendance suppression tactic.

You can see all of the people several posts above this - not a conspiracy, lots of people hate this dude.framer wrote: ↑Jun 17, 2025I think you've all seen the famous photo looking up Market towards the Arch, showing the No Kings rally marching in the middle of the street. (I'm not at home now, so I can't post the pic)
I know there were thousands of people there, but something about that photo just feels fake to me. Like it was manipulated to make the crowd look larger than it was. I'm no photo expert, and maybe it's just the lens they used or something, but can anyone confirm that it's authentic? I know there's lots of debate about it online, and I'd just like to know.
So true, I was reading the debates on twitter over the crowd size of the Army parade in DC, a pic was posted that showed a very large crowd with a city and domed building behind it. People said no, this is Philly and some Obama crowd. I chimed in and said no, this is St. Louis, that is taken over the arch grounds, and the dome is the Old Courthouse. The Arch was no in the image, but it was so clearly us.framer wrote: ↑Jun 17, 2025Yeah, but the Market pic seems to show way more people than the overhead Kiener Plaza pic. Like I say, it maysimply be a matter of perspective or lens setting etc.
I think it's an awesome shot, and makes St. Louis look great. I'm just hesitant to brag about it and share it on social media before I know it's authentic. It's so easy to manipulate images these days.
