We join the entire labor movement in mourning the loss of Alexis Herman. Secretary Herman was a trailblazer and relentless advocate for working people. On behalf of America's unions, we extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Funny how a "devote" Christian blocks someone simply for pointing out they were a bully in high school and someone else for showing that their comment about the former pope isn't exactly true.

The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

USA: Union sues to block Trump from ending collective bargaining for many federal workers www.reuters.com/business/wor...

A musician who quit the Kennedy Center after Donald Trump took over as chair earlier this year issued a chilling warning about the president’s “authoritarian instinct.”

A Paris court has found French far-right figurehead Marine Le Pen guilty of embezzlement, in a decision that could yet see her barred from the 2027 presidential election.

Highlights from this year's International CLUW NEB Meeting:

Working people are fed up with a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make. That’s not the future that working people deserve, and we’re fighting for a better one. America’s unions are standing up every day against corporate greed.

Pete Hegseth Blows Into Breathalyzer To Unlock Phone

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

Black Americans make up 19% of active-duty military enlistments, and women make up roughly 17%. Critics argue that Hegseth’s anti-DEI stance in the military is creating an environment that is unwelcoming and discouraging for anyone who isn’t a straight White male.

OPINION | What Hillary did is orders of magnitude less dangerous than Hegseth, yet only one of them faced an hysterical investigation.

I can’t believe my ears!!! Marjorie Taylor Greene said that adoptive or parents through marriage aren’t real parents because they’re “not biological.” She even told a witness who is a mother through marriage that she is “not a mother.”

Calling all Federal Judges.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school.. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, and say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war. And Canadians have responded in kind.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

20-03-2001 BRAZIL: The giant P-36 oil platform, operated by Petrobras, sinks following a series of explosions which occurred on March 15 and which left 11 dead.
