I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Workers shouldn’t have to wait years for their first contract! Tell Your Senator to Co-Sponsor H.R. 5408/ S. 844, the BIPARTISAN Faster Labor Contracts Act. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/work...

The Ohio Supreme Court has slipped from an "average" rating when it comes to financial and gift disclosures by justices, to one of "poor," according to a scorecard by the nonpartisan watchdog organization Fix the Court ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/31/o...

On Aug. 21, businesses accepted the union’s demands. The strike broke the control of the Citizens’ Alliance and encouraged workers in many other industries to organize. The Minneapolis strike is considered a pivotal moment in Teamsters and labor history. /end

Trump’s executive order stripping bargaining rights from federal workers was union-busting—but we have the bill AND the votes to fix it. We urge every member of Congress to sign the discharge petition to get the Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote. aflcio.org/press/releas...

This bill is awful!

An aphorism in U.S. politics is that Americans become more conservative as they age; many older women pointed out that it isn’t a conservative approach, in the “small-c” sense of the word, to dismantle government programs and institutions and to upend democratic norms 19thnews.org/2025/06/olde...

“Go Birds, F Trump” chants at the #NoKings rally might be the most Philly thing ever!

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

I'm taking action on June 14 to remind Trump and his enablers that America has No Kings. Join me in Sandusky Ohio to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. app.sosha.ai/s/Ms7Ozal2

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow President Trump to fire NLRB and MSPB members is a gift to union-busting CEOs and a slap in the face of every worker. Workers deserve a fair shot to join and form unions, but the court has turned its back on them. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Whatcha doin Saturday?

Governor Tim Walz talking Labor at UAW 1005 Parma, Ohio. 🇺🇸

Strongsville Ohio Hands off!

In 2024, there were 285 confirmed cases of measles reported in the US. In the first three months of 2025, there have been 483 confirmed cases of measles in the US.

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

Scenes from #Ankara on day 4 of the #Turkey protests. Thousands have gone on the streets again today despite the ban on demonstrations and harsh crackdowns.

Ohio is the No. 1 state for bird flu. "Kennedy’s Alarming Prescription for Bird Flu on Poultry Farms: The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say."

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

Schiff: Those are the comments of an ignoramus. Article Five has been invoked just once. It’s been invoked over Afghanistan—when we were attacked, and our NATO allies came to help defend us.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Hmmm 🤔

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump and Vance are modern day Quislings.

Dark Pence is back.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Despite 98% opposition, this week Ohio Senate Republicans passed legislation that is both a far right wing takeover of Ohio universities AND the worst assault on unions in decades. We discuss it here. => ohiosenate.gov/members/kent...

The reality.

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I yearn for a time when this was the norm.

This week, I reintroduced the bipartisan Susan Muffley Act to restore pensions of 21,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees — including over 5,000 Ohioans. These hardworking Americans paid for and earned their retirement. Together we will ensure they receive retirement security they earned.
