I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Solidarity with Starbucks workers! Starbucks makes BILLIONS every year.
The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting.
Everyone should be able to organize at work!

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Alaska, I look forward to a day soon when we have a Governor like Governor Walz, who will sign legislation that allows public servants to retire with dignity.
Those who commit their life to public service deserve to retire with dignity and security.
That’s why I just signed a bill to boost pensions for Minnesota teachers, police officers, and firefighters.

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it
