“We all do better when we all do better.”
This also means we all have something to pitch in.
Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about:
• Don't bomb Iran.
• Restore fuel economy standards.
• Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.
We're going to have members of the U.S. Navy putting their lives at risk for... oil... from the middle east.
Chag Purim Sameach! Wishing our Jewish neighbors celebrating in NY-14 and beyond a festive and joyous Purim 🎉
Trump’s military force in Iran is not only unlawful—it’s reckless. CAP’s @andrewpmiller.bsky.social explains the consequences for the American people:
Need a pick me up? Take some time and watch this amazing event installing the amazing Roxanne Brown as the new President of USW.
Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Trump opens his #SOTU address by noting we are about to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday.
Sadly, he is governing the nation as a king, abusing the rule of law and destroying democracy.

Not enough people have grasped this point but its so true ⬇️
EPA repealing endangerment finding. From @thiggins.bsky.social, "This admin seems determined to make people pay for more fuel, even if it means assigning zero value to human life, denying that climate change is dangerous, and exposing children to pollution."

With more revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein having surfaced, it is time for the #NYGiants to remove Steve Tisch from his decision-making role in the organization. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...
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.

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. Pretti’s mother said her son cared immensely about the direction the county was headed, especially the Trump administration’s rollback of environmental regulations."

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
Major kudos to Richard B. and Lara R. Skinner for editing and masterminding, and to all of my fellow authors!
There’s brilliant work throughout, so please consider grabbing a copy: www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9780913...
If so (but honestly either way…) then I am very excited to share the news that the latest research volume from the Labor and Employment Relations Association and Cornell University Press has been published… AND it features a chapter I wrote...
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?
