If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

A union contract is the only way we can stop these systemic problems that have been making Starbucks worse year-after-year. It would only cost the company less than a day's worth of sales to put fair pay, fair scheduling, and strong protections in writing through a contract.

Coast Guard helicopter must remain in Newport, federal judge says in temporary order
"The danger presented by the lack of rescue helicopter coverage justifies” the granting of a temporary order “on an expedited basis,” the judge wrote.

Worry has been swirling in Newport this month as a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter has disappeared from the coastal community's airport with crabbing season around the corner. And recent evidence suggests an ICE detention facility may take its place.

This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

RE: the question of what does it mean if the courts say it is ok for the President to deploy military in the cities based on bullshit claims…
The Nazis also had courts.
The law is inherently political.
Lawyers & judges approving of something blatantly unconstitutional is a reflection of that.

The case is called and Judge Immergut explains the background. She says there were technical difficulties, which caused the delay.

To those in the armed forces, it’s not simply that you have a right to disobey an unlawful order. You have a duty.
