Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

We can come up with:
$2MIL to turn the Rose Garden into a Fuddruckers.
$200MIL for a ballroom.
$1BIL to upgrade an airplane Quatar couldn’t sell.
$450MIL (so far) for golf trips.
$2BIL to paint a few 100 miles of border wall.
Yet kids with cancer must stop being so needy.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

Republicans are all in with Abbott and his goons threatening Dems for refusing to allow gerrymandering in TX. Yet they were okay with republicans in the US House leaving to prevent a vote on the Epstein files. Anything to cover up crimes of DJT and cheat to win.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

Weigel: Authoritarian—that’s a fine word to use. If we were watching Canada do this, or France do this, right now—say, ‘We’re not letting any Americans into the school for political reasons’—we’d probably use that word. So I don’t know why it would be anathema when it’s happening here.
