America’s unions are on GO! Like the Dropkick Murphys, working people across the country are fired up, talking with our co-workers, neighbors, friends and union family so we can send pro-worker candidates to Congress and create an economy and country that works for all of us. ✊

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the word of the day is “tradition.” Together with our friend Zahn McClarnon we honor Indigenous people around the world and the many ways they share their culture and traditions every day. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

.@Tim_Walz is spot on. When we win, we need to deliver. If we do not, the backlash will be severe. Our nation and the world cannot bear that. We need to not only defeat Trumpism, but tackle the conditions that led to its rise.
My interview with @Tim_Walz is getting lots of attention for what he said about the genocide & @Liz_Cheney. But this comment is just as newsy and he’s absolutely right: If Dems repeat their betrayals, they’ll create conditions for a worse version of Trump

Nearly 20 years coming to Tradeswomen Build Nations, and I still leave fired up. What started as a few hundred of us is now thousands of women opening doors for each other and changing our unions. It’s inspiring to be a part of this network of powerful union sisters.

From Minnesota to Maine to Texas—and now New York, just across the river from Jersey City. No one should have to live in fear of being shot in broad daylight. Yet that fear is already at our doorstep. We cannot afford complacency. We cannot answer with silence. Abolish ICE.

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

Seneca warned that Rome’s bloody spectacles corrupted the people who watched them. A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment. Secretary Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood execution risks feeding that appetite. The victims deserve justice administered with solemnity. Broadcasting a death diminishes us and is not an effective deterrent. I urge him to reconsider.

I would like to hear our Catholic Vice President explain why they're intentionally choosing to broadcast the death of a human being for the entire world to see, including children.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

Pope Leo XIV’s top ally in Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy has told Catholics to convert the politicians who tolerate Trump’s war on immigrants “or replace them.” “We must stop, recognize the evil that is being carried out in our name and fight every dimension of it.” He was met with a standing ovation.

America’s unions are fighting to create an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires. To do that, we need pro-worker candidates like @bpforcongress who will stand with working people in Congress. Workers’ voices will be heard this election season. ✊
Always a good morning to stand with my union brothers and sisters. Grateful for their support.

Every time Mark Zuckerberg has sucked up to Trump or done his bidding, it’s so he can get away with shady moves like this to maximize his profits. No American taxpayer should be subsidizing data centers so Zuckerberg can get even richer.

President Trump and his admin are delusional. This economy only works for billionaires and CEOs, not working people. And this November, we’re going to elect candidates who will balance the scales and create an economy that works for all of us.
Q: What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel? Trump: We have the greatest economy in the history of our country

On International Coffee Day, America’s unions continue to stand in solidarity with our Starbucks @SBWorkersUnited baristas in their fight for a fair contract, and call on everyone to boycott stand-alone corporate Starbucks stores. No contract, no coffee!

Republicans passed legislation that requires people to work at least 80 hours per month to receive Medicaid. Over the past two months, Republican leadership worked, on average, for only 56 hours. They wouldn't even meet the work requirements they forced on working families.

Big news—Congress has introduced a ban on corporate-owned medical practices, modeled after Oregon’s new law & our lawsuit protecting independent physicians. Thread explaining the bill and how it’s part of the drafters’ broader efforts to rein in corporate medicine. 1/x
