President Trump’s first 100 days get a failing grade. He broke his promises to working people — attacking our unions, undermining our contracts, and abandoning our communities. The labor movement is standing strong because working families deserve better.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
