Throughout the first 100 days of the Trump admin, America’s unions have been relentlessly fighting back against the billionaire takeover, and we’re winning.

If we are to bring manufacturing back to America, we must lay the foundation first. Tariffing the rest of the world before building our manufacturing capacity first is not a winning strategy. President Biden, as the graph shows, was trying to do this, and it has stagnated now under Trump.

This union busting bullshit is an attack on working people. First, it’s millions of federal employees. Next, it’ll be you.
Trump is bulldozing a path to strip away workers’ rights across every industry and consolidate power to the richest CEOs.
I stand with our union brothers and sisters. Always.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
