Press, A. (2020, October 2). It’s time to end the subminimum wage for tipped workers. Jacobin.

Some progress has already been made toward ending the subminimum wage. So far, seven states have legislated an end to the practice. While there’s movement in other locales, it is plagued by carve-outs that exclude certain tipped workers (in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s order excludes restaurant workers, the largest group of tipped workers in the state).

Sankin, A., & Mattu, S. (2020, October 1). I scanned my favorite social media site on Blacklight and it came up pretty clean. What’s going on? The Markup.

Scott, D. (2020, October 2). While Trump gets the best health care in the world, he wants to eliminate coverage for millions. Vox.

After testing positive for the coronavirus, President Donald Trump can rest assured he will receive the best medical care without having to worry about the cost.

Millions could lose coverage outright and protections for preexisting conditions could be overturned if the Trump administration’s argument prevails at the high court.
