The National Weather Service does critical weather tracking that keeps people safe from storms and natural disasters. But the Trump admin’s Project 2025/DOGE cuts to the agency are pushing staff to their breaking point. Cuts are putting lives at risk.

On top of EJ Antoni liking Nazi warships, running a creepy anonymous Twitter account and being at the Capitol on January 6th, he was not remotely qualified to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics. His nomination being pulled is a win for all working people.

Federal workers have been attacked over and over by the DOGE/Project 2025 agenda. Federal workers keep our services running every day—they’re not pawns in political games. Tell Congress: fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put workers first! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Project 2025 architect turned OMB Director Russ Vought wasn’t mad that Elon Musk and DOGE were breaking the government—he was mad that they were being so public about it.

The Trump admin’s economic policies aren’t helping workers to make ends meet. An even bigger health care crisis would be catastrophic for everyone. Congress MUST permanently extend the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits. Millions of lives depend on it.

“I kept comparing [DOGE] to a natural disaster…but it wasn’t natural.” DOGE was never about efficiency—they took a wrecking ball to our essential services so their billionaire friends could swoop in and make even more money they don’t need.

Firing federal workers and gutting our essential services is making it harder for working people to make ends meet. DOGE is pushing the federal workers who are still in their jobs—like the people who send out Social Security checks—to their breaking point.

Just how much money did the DOGE bros making working people spend on their makeshift office bedrooms, ping pong tables, muscle milk and security?

We’re happy that some federal workers have the opportunity to get their jobs back, but they never should have been fired in the first place. Everybody but DOGE knew that firing federal workers wouldn’t make our essential government services more efficient.

Nearly 1 million federal workers had their union rights ripped away by President Trump. But, we have a bipartisan bill to stop his disgusting union-busting. Tell your senators: cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! 📲844-994-4554 act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Cuts to Medicaid in the big, ugly bill are hurting working families and home care workers. Seniors and people with care needs need their health care more than giant corporations and Elon Musk need another tax break.

We won’t let VA Secretary Doug Collins gut workers’ union rights without a fight. Veterans, VA workers and allies gathered at the Veterans Affairs headquarters in Washington D.C. to tell Secretary Collins to stop privatization and restore VA workers’ collective bargaining rights NOW!

Step 1: Take food assistance away from millions of families. Step 2: Stop measuring food insecurity so nobody can count how many hungry kids your policies make.

If the Trump admin is willing to attack the union rights of the federal workers who care for our veterans and make sure our air and water are clean, then no union contract is safe from them. Tell your senators: cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

As the big, ugly bill’s cuts to Medicaid take effect, millions of people across the country may face this same reality: completely dropped coverage and extra travel time for care - all so giant corporations and billionaires could get more tax breaks.

When they said “Make America Healthy Again,” we did NOT think they were talking about making asbestos, silica, Black Lung and lead a feature of every workplace. NIOSH saves lives. The Trump admin is risking them by making cuts to this essential service.

So efficiency is when you… *checks notes*... force a huge amount of federal workers into early retirement, realize you can’t operate without them, then force them out of early retirement to do the job you were just paying them to not do?

Medicaid has helped people across the country get back on their feet after experiencing homelessness. Cuts to Medicaid in President Trump’s big, ugly bill will make it nearly impossible for states to help people find stable housing.

Hey FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, this you? You used to claim to stand up for free speech, but now, you’re pressuring giant corporations to muzzle their workers’ free speech when it’s something that Trump doesn’t like.

Jocelyn’s concerns for her daughter’s health is unfortunately too common with cuts coming soon to Medicaid in President Trump’s big, ugly bill. Nobody should have to choose between paying the bills and the medication that keeps them healthy.

The Department of Labor is supposed to safeguard our workplace rights. But many of the department’s workers have left or been forced out from DOGE’s threats to federal workers. An understaffed and overstretched Department of Labor hurts ALL workers.

Federal workers make our essential services run every day: Medicaid, the VA, Social Security and more. If the Trump admin guts their collective bargaining rights, there’s no telling where they’ll stop. An attack on any union rights is an attack on ALL workers’ union rights.

The Trump administration’s March executive order launched the largest act of union-busting in history, stripping nearly 1 million federal workers of their union rights. Call your senators NOW and tell them to cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Many advances in cancer research that help workers live longer, healthier lives are because of federal funding from the War on Cancer. This initiative has saved millions of lives and provided hope to countless more. The Trump admin is gutting this essential program.

Cuts to Medicaid in the big, ugly bill are going to wreck the lives of millions of people across the country, including family care workers. “We could not survive without the services Medicaid helps us access.”

Spending more than ever on IT contracts doesn’t sound like DOGE is getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse—they’re creating more of it. Working people are footing the bill for DOGE to make their big tech and Silicon Valley friends even richer.

Closing hospitals and clinics nationwide, millions losing their health care, and everyone else will pay more for their private health insurance—that’s the impact of the Trump administration’s big, ugly bill.

The big, ugly bill’s cuts to Medicaid are hurting kids across the country. As a Phoenix hospital leader said: “[Medicaid cuts] cannot be achieved without directly affecting coverage and care for Arizona’s kids, especially the most vulnerable among them.”

By cutting even more VA jobs Secretary Doug Collins is jeopardizing veterans’ essential health care services. That’s not putting veterans first—it’s putting them last.

Elon Musk stopped a bill earlier this year that would authorize new therapies and medical treatments for kids with cancer from being passed in a budget bill. Now, the bill is stuck in Congress. Any delay puts kids’ lives at risk—and that’s on Elon.

The Trump admin, who claims to be obsessed with getting rid of government waste, fraud and abuse, is shutting down the IRS crackdown on waste, fraud and abuse. This is a government by and for the billionaires and corporations, not working people.

The Trump administration is trying to gut the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. NIOSH conducts essential research that keeps workers safe on the job. Tell your representative to stand with working people and stop cuts to NIOSH! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers and more—DOGE’s incompetence put all that information at risk for hundreds of millions of people. DOGE must be dismantled before it harms even more lives than it already has.

RFK Jr. is putting workers’ lives at risk. Not only is he rejecting data, he’s gutting vaccine research funding and cutting essential health services. He’s destroying trust in the public health system that keeps working families safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

Today’s jobs report told everyone what they already knew: the Trump administration’s economic policies are hurting working families across the country and making the rich even richer.

After killing jobs and gutting the essential services working people rely on—and tanking Tesla's shareholder value in the process—Elon Musk now wants approval for a possible TRILLION DOLLAR payout. This is the most obscene corporate CEO greed in history.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is refusing to condemn EJ Antoni, Trump’s pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who attended January 6th, ran a trolling burner X account, and is grossly unqualified for the job.

DOGE is looking for more tech bros to keep breaking the government, while firing all of the workers who know how to make everything run. That’s not efficient. DOGE is deliberately breaking essential services to justify even further cuts.

Secretary Kennedy is firing public health workers, gutting vaccine research and access, and cutting essential services. It does not “Make America Healthy Again” to rip away everything that keeps working families safe—it’s putting everyone in harm’s way.

Yes, because that’s exactly what working people need right now—paying more to fly. Airlines are reporting record revenues right now. This move only helps greedy airline CEOs get richer and makes it more expensive for working families to travel.

Consumer sentiment is in free fall thanks to President Trump. Working people are not feeling confident about the economy. The administration’s cuts to health care and DOGE gutting our essential services will be a twist of the knife.

FEMA helps communities recover after disasters. They’re essential to keeping working people safe. The Trump admin’s work to “downsize” the department is putting thousands of lives at risk.

Apparently calling the bill that rips away health care and food assistance from millions of people “beautiful” wasn’t working, so now they’re just lying. The big, ugly bill raises costs for working families and gives tax breaks to billionaires!

The Social Security Administration Chief Data Officer, who raised the alarm that DOGE was putting sensitive data at risk, was pushed out. “Due to my concerns regarding SSA’s questionable and potentially unlawful data management…my position is untenable.”

Working people over billionaires and greedy corporate CEOs. Always.

To everyone who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers, now is the time to get even louder. Call Congress and tell them to sign the discharge petition for the Protect America’s Workforce Act to reverse Trump’s union-busting executive order! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Do you think RFK Jr. is unpopular because he fired everyone on the CDC’s vaccine panel? Or because he fired thousands of public health workers? Or gutted $500 million from vaccine research that helps protect workers? Or made cuts to Meals on Wheels? Or… www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Happy Workers’ Labor Day from the Department of People Who Work for a Living! Join the @aflcio.org and the entire labor movement at one of their 1000+ events nationwide to stand with working people and fight for our freedom, fairness and security! WorkersLaborDay.org

*Except if you use Medicaid. **Except if you need SNAP. ***Except if you’re a federal worker. ****Except if you want union rights.

“Putting American workers first” is a funny way of saying gutting Medicaid, tearing up workers’ union contracts and cutting their jobs. The Trump administration isn’t putting workers first. They’re creating an economy that works for billionaires and CEOs, NOT us.
