Egan, thank you for your phenomenal work & beautiful words. During my time at DOL, I got to say the words you wrote and rely on the intelligence & compassion you brought, especially on Jobs Day at 7:45a. You made me — and our country — better. What a profound privilege it was to work alongside you.

Elon Musk is preparing to gut the Department of Labor. This is not about eliminating waste, fraud and abuse, it’s about dismantling government and weakening institutions that enforce the rule of law.

Too many get paid less than they earned, get injured on the job, do their level best to save for retirement and then find that those benefits aren’t there. And for businesses who play by the rules, too many find that when their competitors cut corners, they’re put at an unfair disadvantage. (🧵2/4)
