Veterans like my son, Elijah, protected our country. The least we can do is make sure they can feed their families.
Trump’s policies are threatening SNAP benefits for more than 1.2 million veterans. I’m fighting to stop it.
We honor service with action that has veterans’ backs.

Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets

What Rick Kupchella, the StarTribune (owned by billionaire Glenn Taylor), Hubbard, and, seemingly the DFL executive committee, agree on is that Minneapolis is an eye sore. It has too much power and is an ongoing pain in the ass. They’re othering the state‘s largest city just like the White house.

We are a country of laws and not a king. And as it has been for every generation since our country was founded, it is on us—we the people—to hold up that democracy over a tyrant.

Trump recently ordered the Department of the Interior to halt work on a huge wind farm.
1,000 union workers had already completed 80% of the project.
Now they're fired.
He made sure the oil and gas billionaires got their tax breaks, though.
Happy Labor Day, I guess.

The fight for working people is personal to me. I come from a union family, I carried a union card.
This Labor Day—and every day—the Democratic Party is standing up for union jobs and against these sweeping Republican attacks on working men and women.

It’s going to get worse now that Trump just unilaterally terminated collective bargaining agreements for 80k VA staff. Veterans are suffering and it’s going to get worse.
Trump admin says everything is hunky-dory at the VA.
But we found that the number of doctors at VA has dropped each month since Trump took office.
Nurses are way down too
We got the records.

Many VA employees are veterans themselves. Canceling their union contracts is not only insulting to their service, but it’s going to make the quality of care for our veterans worse.
These men and women made incredible sacrifices for our country. This is not how we repay them.

The VA terminating the union contracts of their workers is an ambush on the people who care for our veterans. The Trump admin may think they can silence anyone who pushes back against their unlawful and anti-worker actions, but we aren’t going anywhere. aflcio.org/press/releas...
