Corporate America’s playbook:
1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use these laws to further exploit workers
5) Repeat
Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

BTW, I once heard the story of South American caudillo who announced his own death, then watched, hidden on a balcony, to see who came out to celebrate.

Running from their responsibilities again!
BREAKING: House GOP leaders have inserted language into the budget that would prevent a vote on reclaiming tariff powers from the president.

Yep. And he’s done irreparable damage to our reputation and relationships with both friends and enemies, alike.
You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table.
The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.

Don't let up on Signalgate.
The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice.
The entire discussion is fait accompli.
Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates.
Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Louis DeJoy's wishlist to DOGE includes slashing 10,000 jobs, closing tens of thousands of postal retail centers, and gutting oversight.
This will devastate seniors, small businesses, rural communities, and anyone else who relies on an affordable and reliable Postal Service.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Donald Trump has illegally invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority, to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants he deems to be members of criminal gang Tren de Aragua.
This was last invoked during WWII to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans.
