If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. & Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor… @housedemocrats.bsky.social @aguilar.house.gov @reptedlieu.bsky.social …Reject Section 224 of the NDAA. 👈🏽

"Labor’s share of economic output just hit an all-time low, while the profit share hit a near record. It helps explain why consumers feel so glum." Mind you, this isn't from a socialist paper, this is from the WALL STREET JOURNAL.

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in 🇺🇸… He was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors… that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.” (Naturally, Trump now supports him)

Forcing working people to spend more on essentials like gas, groceries, rent, utilities and health care without a raise is NOT a sign of economic well-being. This admin is completely out of touch with what workers are experiencing in this economy. We need real relief NOW.

“The system is rigged by corrupt politicians like Ken Paxton.” -James Talarico PS Talirico HAS to win that Senate seat‼️

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

Pope Leo: “Let us pray that the Spirit may save us from the evil of war, which is overcome not by a superpower, but by the omnipotence of love. Let us pray that he free humanity from misery, which is redeemed not by immeasurable wealth, but by an inexhaustible gift.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

REMINDER: eat the bosses’ pizza, then unionize anyway.

This is the second time this Congress that a discharge petition to restore or strengthen union rights has majority support in the House. Working people in this country are hungry for labor law reform, and unions are the way to get ahead and have a better life!

What can a union contract deliver? Better wages, better benefits, retirement security, respect and a stronger voice on the job. Sound good to you? Join the hundreds of thousands of workers who organized last year and form a union in your workplace. aflcio.org/formaunion

The CLARITY Act would open workers’ retirement accounts to volatile cryptocurrency. If those risky bets don’t pay off, it’s working people and retirees who will pay the price. We urge the Senate Banking Committee to stand up for our retirement security and stop the CLARITY Act.
