‼️ We just flipped a Montana district that Trump won by 11% in 2024! Congratulations to Sam Forstag on pulling off this upset in MT-01! When DOGE tried to gut the Forest Service, Sam rallied Montanans as VP of his union’s local. Now he's heading to Congress to fight for other working families.

US CONGRESS, MT-01

Fuck these "executive orders." These should be called "emergency orders" limited to 30 days and should only be used in bonafide emergencies and Congress has 3 days to qualify the emergency.

Working people are working harder than ever, yet our paychecks are stuck and CEOs are bringing home record pay and bonuses. This election season, let’s elect candidates who will help make this economy work for all of us, not just the billionaire bosses. Betterinaunion.org

U.S. workers get a record-low share of the output we make. "American workers are getting the smallest slice of the pie on record." - NBC News, 9/7/26 | AFL-CIO

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.
