New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Nostalgia in politics can work for more than one thing, it doesn't only have to be a guy saying "Don't you miss being racist" it could be a different guy saying "Remember when people had pensions"

JUST IN: SCOTUS, in a per curium opinion, finds that the Trump Administration violated the due process rights of migrants who were summarily removed in the dead of night to El Salvador. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

ALL of yall, especially the ones claiming we as a society need to welcome Trump voters who do express regret into the fold, need to read this. Whatever they are feeling, they feel it for THEMSELVES.

The Trump administration on Tuesday eliminated the entire staff of a federal program (LIHEAP) that helps low-income households pay utility bills. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

GOP Congresswoman Harriet Hageman was loudly booed at a Wyoming town hall over her support for Elon Musk’s DOGE. (A new Fox News poll shows that 58% of voters, including 70% of Independents, disapprove of Musk’s DOGE.)

Chuck Schumer right now:

We're facing a hostile government takeover and @democrats.senate.gov can do something about it. The Trump-Musk spending bill will make our constituents hungrier, sicker, and poorer. Listen to your constituents. Do not cede your leverage. Hold the line. youtube.com/shorts/mL1_s...

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

He's a weak man and a fool. This was one of the big arguments by the vote Yes Team: The moment will be more ripe in September. There's a good chance that's right, politically. But by September the federal government will be unrecognizable.

The Trump Administration removed the 10-year old girl with brain cancer and four of her American siblings from Texas on Feb. 4, when they deported their undocumented parents. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Trump hugged the flag, then stabbed veterans in the back. Cutting 80,000 VA jobs won’t improve services-it’s a betrayal of those who served. Veterans kept their promise, why won’t he? Read more: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/betrayed-a...

30% of our federal workforce are veterans and now Trump/Musk/DOGE are firing them They are nurses & park rangers, TSA staff & FBI agents; they work at places like the DoD and the National Science Foundation and the Bureau of Land Management www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

On top of the countless lies, to have an ethnic slur hurled in the middle of the address to the American people is inexcusable. We cannot treat this behavior as normal. I left.

It’s fine

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things: 1. The US is not a trusted ally 2. Zelensky is a hero

NEW: The SAVE Act, a right-wing bill requiring nationwide proof of citizenship for voter registration, could potentially disenfranchise millions. Michigan Democratic officials warn passing the legislation would be like "taking a chainsaw to our democracy."

Michigan officials have become the latest Democratic figures to publicly slam the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, the GOP’s nationwide proof of citizenship bill that could disenfranchise millions of voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If this ambush of President Zelensky was planned, it makes the behavior of Trump and Vance even more disgraceful. What democratic ally can ever trust a single word uttered by these despicable men who spit in the face of every American who fought and died to save our democratic nation?

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

Come on @nytimes facilitated fascism doesn’t turn out well for the press, ever.

Trump's first month has brought us: mass funding and hiring freezes, mass firings of federal employees, and hourly chaos. This is not an exaggeration: these policy choices put us all in danger. One example hits close to home. Literally:
