Told you to watch the union vote tonight. NBC exits show union households +21 for Ds nationwide (likely higher in battlegrounds where our voter contact was most intensive) compared to +10 for all voters. Union vote is a historic 15% share of overall electorate. Huge

NEW INVESTIGATION: Ask Amazon's AI shopping assistant for "Made in USA" fly fishing reels, and it says, "Sorry, I don't have access to that information."
Ask for "Made in China" reels, and you get a full comparison table with purchase recommendations.

Environmental and green groups sent a letter to House Representatives yesterday opposing the proposed year-round E15 bill, which is slated for a floor vote as a standalone bill in the House on Wednesday next week after it wasn't included in the recently passed Farm Bill 2.0 package. #E15 #ethanol #biofuel #RFS #OOTT #OOAT

Rising costs are making it harder for working families to pay the bills. But it’s not just that — stagnant wages are preventing workers from getting ahead.
Thank you, @CongBoyle, for highlighting the dual cost-of-living crisis working people are facing in this economy.

Tens of thousands of American steelworkers stand at the ready to supply our nation with high-quality products. The White House – the people’s house – belongs not to one person or administration, but to all of us.

Today, I stood with workers, advocates, and labor leaders as I introduced my TAA Modernization Act.
TAA offers a lifeline to workers who lose their jobs due to trade — helping them retrain, earn more, and return to work faster. Congress must renew it now.

Last year, more than 1 million federal workers lost their bargaining rights. Join us and our union siblings on January 14th to rally for the bipartisan Protect America's Workforce Act, which must be passed in the Senate to restore collective bargaining rights to civil servants.

We need trade policies that level the playing field for workers & bring good jobs back home.
We’re calling for fixes to our trade deal with Mexico & Canada that support American workers by cracking down on corporate offshoring, scrutinizing Chinese investment, & raising wages.
