After making history as the first Southern autoworkers outside the Big Three to join the UAW, the 3,200 workers at VW Chattanooga have won a tentative agreement that provides 20 percent across-the-board wage increases, affordable health care, real job security, and more. 🔗 uaw.org/uaw-reaches-...

This fella should be in consideration for Attorney General in 2029 if the opportunity should arise...

We’re at Susan Collins’s offices all across Maine today to demand: not one dollar more for ICE. A pinky promise from Kristi Noem is not enough.

You could see it as a 1:1 relationship. Republicans clawed back 25% of the IRS funding in the the first showdown after Inflation Reduction Act passage. That could be the baseline: 25% of the ICE surge funding from OBBBA.

Today, President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement becomes official. It’s a step backward for American leadership.

Never Again apparently means something different than what I thought it meant.

"His parents said their last conversation with their son was a couple days before his death. They talked about repairs he had done to the garage door of his home. The worker was a Latino man, and they said with all that was happening in Minneapolis he gave the man a $100 tip." 🥹

In 2022 we gave the IRS $80 bn. When Rs took the House they made rescinding that $$ the price of funding the govt. In each funding bill enacted since, large chunks of that were pared back Ds should do that for the ICE money from OBBBA. Paring back that $$ must be a prerequisite for funding the govt

Need something a little different than the current news? Then perhaps I can tempt you with a book that looks back at the last Administration’s efforts on climate, labor, clean energy, and manufacturing with an eye towards the future?

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This 1943 U.S. Army film warned about fascism in America

DHS says they have a “list” of around 1,400 people to round up in what they’re calling “Operation Catch of the Day” — a completely disgusting and inhumane name for their terror campaign in our state.

The Trump administration is putting Big Oil first once again with its plans to withdraw from the UNFCCC, the bedrock of all international climate cooperation—and Americans will pay the price.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

The damage Trump is inflicting on American climate science will reverberate for decades; but states, cities, and universities demonstrate that American climate progress is resilient. My column for @elpais.com : english.elpais.com/climate/2026...

ICE out of Maine.

You have many good takes, Jamelle. This might be your best.

More idiocy from Trump yesterday. Further explained by my colleagues below ⬇️

Last night, the Trump administration withdrew the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—the foundational 1992 treaty that established the entire framework for international climate cooperation. This is unprecedented and dangerous.

ISDS sucks.

Now would be a good time to announce your retirement Susan Collins. #MESenate

Hey everybody, let's ignore that dumb op-ed by Matt Yglesias and instead focus on something great that was released today: the annual CLIMATE DENIERS report! h/t to the inimitable @kso23.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/clim...

Trump says economy strengthening, despite weakening. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/12/17/n...

Enacting reforms to build worker power and voice is essential to ensuring Americans are able to access other key progressive workplace priorities, such as paid sick and family and medical leave. https://ampr.gs/4pxJyXj

Thank you @whitehouse.senate.gov @repdelbene.bsky.social for introducing the Clean Competition Act–a bill that would support American manufacturing and our climate. We need positive ideas like this out there. Here are 5 things you should know about the CCA... www.epw.senate.gov/public/index...

Back in college, bunch of us drank too much then decided to go see Hannibal. I fell asleep almost immediately but was startled awake for an extremely grotesque scene I’d rather not explain. Flip side… seeing Avengers Endgame opening night at 1am was a blast. Place was cheering and crying.

I love how @dmk1793.bsky.social just might be somehow responsible for Project 2029.

Once again I am apologizing to you on behalf of the US, Chris…

The UMaine Graduate Workers Union - @uaw.org deserves a fair contract. Chancellor Malloy must end the union-busting, stop stalling, and negotiate a fair contract.

Gotta be ready for when the supremes come for the NLRA!

Wholeheartedly agree... and wrote about it here: renewal.org.uk/articles/del...

“This is where America’s next century of steel is being forged.” This is the CEO of US Steel saying it will run its coal-based facilities into the ground and leave for non-union states, rather than reinvest in cleaner technologies in the towns that birthed the steel industry. Shameful legacy.

"Climate change is a global problem...but the solutions are local." 🌎 Hear from #COP30 attendees about how collaborating with the U.S. is important to finding solutions to the climate crisis.

THE DWEEBS ARE WRONG.

I’d like the advice of an expert. @griffinmcelroy.bsky.social What level charm spell do we think Zohran used on Trump?

Some billionaires, while building "apocalypse shelters" as personal escape hatches from the climate crisis, are urging Democrats to stop talking about and adopting policies to tackle this existential threat. Don't buy their bullshit. 1/ @aaronregunberg.bsky.social @thenewrepublic.bsky.social

The Trump Administration doesn't care about domestic manufacturing... for the zillionth time.

Did his signature look like his signature on the Epstein birthday card?

Imports are way down, exports remain flat, and domestic manufacturing continues to contract. So who's winning? Other than Trump, of course, who got a gold bar and a rolex from the Swiss just recently to help seal their trade deal... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...
