When Trump's administration claims to help workers w/“No Taxes on Tips”, they failed to address the situation of millions of tip earners around the country who get paid below federal minimum wage even though they cannot always count on getting enough tips. xitter.cf/Culinary226/status/211…
“Every month I struggle to make the payments...” Patricia, a longtime Culinary Union member, said after handing out materials in support of @SusieLeeNV, @AaronDFordNV, & other Democrats on the ballot in a neighborhood in Las Vegas.

Thousands of Culinary Union members are voting for Governor, Congress, the Nevada Legislature, & state/local elections up & down the ballot. It's up to us to elect political leaders who will continue to fight & deliver for us! #WeVoteWeWin!
Trump’s short-sighted No Taxes on Tips plan includes a marriage penalty, leaves out banquet and restaurant workers who get tips through service charges/buyouts, & is temporary. Hospitality workers aren’t making enough in tips to tax in the first place. washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…
Right now, working families are hurting, this country is off the rails and we've got to get it back on track. We need our government to take concrete steps to help us get out of this #TrumpSlump and come with meaningful ways to make life more affordable for working people.
Rep. Pallone’s @pallonefornj bill will fix a truly broken system that is gouging our health plans, driving up health care costs for workers and their families, and exacerbating the nation’s affordability crisis.
It was great to have former Vice President @KamalaHarris, Attorney General @AaronDFordNV, & @repdinatitus join Culinary Union members today. Nevadans are going through the #TrumpSlump & we need leaders in office who will deliver real solutions for working families.
Who fought for the cap on insulin prices for all Nevadans? Joe Spica, Chair of the Healthcare Affordability Task Force fought for the price cap on insulin.

If you can win in Nevada as a Democrat, you can win in the rest of the country. Nevada Democrats have to be pragmatic. They have to pay attention to working-class, kitchen-table issues. You’re just not going to win in Nevada without that. washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…
I think about the financial situation of Culinary Union members often & we need our government to take concrete steps to help us get out of this #TrumpSlump. Working families are hurting & we need relief now. lasvegassun.com/news/2026/se…
Workers are living through what we call the #TrumpSlump & it’s showing up in their hours & paychecks. This admin’s chaotic trade & immigration policies have put a serious chill on tourism. That means fewer hours, less tips, & hard convos at kitchen tables. xitter.cf/semafor/status/2105410…
Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

Trump’s policies have driven up the cost of living for working families, from skyrocketing gas prices and grocery bills to rising housing costs, and the economic impacts driving up costs from Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Working families need relief. 8newsnow.com/news/local-news…
Why didn’t Nevada cap prescription drug prices like other places do? On May 27, 2025, State Assemblymember Dr. Edgeworth voted to let drug companies charge any price they want.
Wonder why?
