FEMA helps people prepare and respond to disasters and get back on their feet, but DOGE’s cuts to the agency have put millions in the path of destruction.
Down nearly 2,500 workers, these cuts could mean life or death for communities across the country.

Yesterday, I met with Girls Troop 8 from Kensington, MD and discussed the American Labor merit badge. These trailblazing girls asked thoughtful questions about strikes, workplace safety and labor history. It was inspiring to see the next generation stepping into their power.

Halting offshore wind projects risks thousands of clean energy jobs and essential electricity supply. It’s bad for workers, communities, and our ability to compete with China.
Trump administration halts offshore wind projects from Virginia to New England, in major blow to clean power
The move is yet another escalation from President Donald Trump, who has vowed to throttle wind projects despite his party's worries about electricity affordability.

AI hiring systems rob workers of opportunities they’re qualified for based on criteria as arbitrary as names, zip codes, or even how often they smile. That’s unacceptable. Hiring decisions should not be outsourced to unaccountable algorithms.

As America’s labor market slows, AI-led interviews and auto-generated cover letters are dramatically changing the process of getting a job. And maybe not for the better.

President Trump’s attempt to abruptly scuttle East Coast wind projects is irresponsible and leaves thousands of workers in limbo during the holiday season. Destroying good union jobs on projects already underway makes no sense. Reverse course and let workers finish the job.

Mass firings, buyouts and heightened uncertainty led to an exodus of federal workers in 2025. More than 300,000 employees will be out of the government by the end of December.

If Congress lets the ACA tax credits expire, health care costs will more than double for millions of working people. That means higher premiums, fewer choices, and families forced to go without care they need. We have to fix this crisis now.
