Extending $4 trillion in tax cuts this summer overwhelmingly benefiting the rich? That required only 51 votes. Extending tax credits for working class people’s health care - the ACA extensions? That will take 60 votes. Goalposts moved, depending on class.

Apparently, there’s a FREE sandwich lying on a street in Georgetown if you know where to look.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

What's REALLY scary? Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in all of the S&P 500... meanwhile, stores are understaffed and the company won't finalize union contracts. Burbank, CA is rallying out here to say BOO to that! They're ready to strike if necessary!

When you drop your health insurance because it’s too expensive, it’s for a good cause.

Posting a photo of Ceausescu’s bathroom for no apparent reason.

A haunted house, but you’re a greedy CEO and your employees are joining together to form a union.

If you buy your health insurance from the ACA Marketplace - healthcare.gov - CHECK YOUR 2026 PREMIUMS right away! Post them. Tell the world what you think of Trumpcare - same as Obamacare, just 2, 3, 4 times as expensive.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

If you’re getting in the spirit with family and friends this Halloween or making some last-minute purchases, buy union-made! ✊🎃

This Saturday, November 1, Obamacare becomes Trumpcare. It will be the same as Obamacare, just two to three times more expensive. #healthcareheist

15.7 million workers (≈ 10% of all workers) lived in households where someone participated in SNAP in the last year. (CBPP) It's a SCANDAL that corporations get away with paying their workers poverty wages while taxpayers subsidize their profits!!

#ICYMI this week: AFM Local 802 and Actors’ Equity Association reached tentative agreements with the Broadway League this week, averting major strikes that could have shut down Broadway. Read: nycclc.org/news/broadwa...

"...Herman Rome, who was at O’Hare to speak with rideshare drivers about establishing a union in the state, looked down at his phone to send a text. When he looked up, there were 15-20 officers in tactical gear questioning about a dozen people who were later taken away in the back of a cargo van."

"What I need you to know is we are organized. What I need you to know is that you need to get organized. What I need you to know is they are coming. What I need you to know is you can stop them... This is how it works: We protect each other, period. These are our neighbors, our friends, our family"

On Nov 1, Congress will have failed to extend the ACA tax credits. As a result, “a 60-year-old married couple in York County with $82,000 in annual income will see their yearly premium skyrocket from $7,032 to $35,712 per year.” That’s a 500% increase in costs. It will eventually impact ALL OF US.

Bushart was booked at the Perry County Jail in Linden on September 22, just before 2 a.m. He's been there ever since. interc.pt/3WhLINV

29 USC 2000e-2(k)(1)(A): “An unlawful employment practice based on disparate impact is established under this subchapter…” Apparently, the Trump EEOC has unilaterally decided to delete this language enacted by Congress.

We can’t believe we have to say this, but the person in charge of protecting federal workers from retaliation for whistleblowing should not be a Nazi.

This Administration will be in charge of the 250th anniversary of 1776.

Deep inside Trump Country. Small town of Culpeper VA had somewhere by my conservative count between 500-750 people for No Kings on one stretch of highway plus another site for demonstrators downtown:. #nokingsculpeper

My union brother David Huerta is a leader in the LA community who was exercising his constitutional rights when he was violently arrested. It’s a gross abuse of power and a threat to all workers that Trump’s DOJ is pursuing these baseless charges. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Despite repeatedly promising not to cut Social Security, the Trump Admin is reportedly preparing a proposed rule that could reduce the share of applicants who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance by up to 20%--which would be the largest cut ever. 🧵 www.cbpp.org/blog/trump-a...

Federal labor unions notched another win against Trump’s attacks, securing a temporary injunction against his mass firings of federal workers. Unions have always been on the front lines in the fight against authoritarianism. Kudos to these unions for carrying on this legacy today.

Where we stand, in long arc of history: -Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people. -Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites. I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

A well done must read piece on the Trump Administration’s disastrous stop-work order against Revolution Wind.

I defining feature of the moment is profound institutional cowardice amidst incredible individual bravery. Business owners and college Presidents flirt with accommodating tyranny (or outright support it) while workers and students, sometimes at great personal risk, reject it.

Health insurance costs more than DOUBLING for working families? In this economy? Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first. act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

“Imagine harvesting fruits that feed America yet being told that we don’t deserve the protections that are already written in law."

Overworked and understaffed, over 45,000 health care workers at Kaiser Permanente are poised to strike. For many of them, it’s becoming nearly impossible to ignore the sense that the incentives of profit and control are the prime reason behind too many changes.

The musicians who bring Broadway shows to life shouldn’t have to accept unlivable wages and working conditions to do something they love. The workers make Broadway, Broadway! America’s unions stand with them as they fight for a fair contract.

Same power conferences that are looking to sell a stake in their revenue to private equity are pressing for Congress to ban their athletes from being able to claim they are employees.

“‘I often wonder, even though the teaching of Sacred Scripture is so clear about the poor, why many people continue to think that they can safely disregard the poor,’ Pope Leo XIV states in his first magisterial document …” www.americamagazine.org/vatican-disp...

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old. There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social has sent a new letter to President Trump, urging him on behalf of our 15 million members and working people across the country to stop this administration’s squeeze on working families during the shutdown. aflcio.org/press/releas...

This literally made me LOL. Hat tip to Wyden.

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

Millions of Americans are left to pay the price while Republicans play political games. The game pieces are our healthcare and our lives.

Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org fighting for a fair contract! NYC is a union town and we are proud to stand together to support these workers! #NoContractNoCoffee #1u

Top VA officials testified that they don’t know how many doctors and nurses have left. We do. The VA is down 600+ doctors and 1,900+ nurses this year. After years of growth, the number of docs has declined each month since Trump took office. www.propublica.org/article/vete...

Time is running out. 22 MILLION will immediately face insurance hikes. 130,000 health care jobs will be lost. 4.2 MILLION will lose health care. Everyone will pay more. Tell Congress: permanently extend ACA tax credits and stop the health care crisis! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Jeffries and Schumer respond to the OMB memo as a shutdown nears.

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!

NO WORKERS? NO STARBUCKS 🗣️ NO CONTRACT? NO COFFEE 🗣️

While nurses in Iowa work to form a union and call for new workplace policies designed to keep them safe, their hospital is on track to set a record for the most expensive anti-union effort ever taken by a hospital. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social reports: trib.al/Sxuqq1E
