The CLARITY Act would open workers’ pensions and retirement accounts to volatile cryptocurrency. If those risky bets don’t pay off, it's working people and retirees who will pay the price. The Senate must stand with working people and reject this bill.

Minneapolis Noah Kahan fans: don’t buy drinks or concessions at Wednesday’s show - that’s crossing a picket line.   Hundreds of Delaware North food and beverage workers in Minneapolis will be walking out on an unfair labor practice strike. Support workers by joining the picket line before the show!

Tonight, President Trump pushed years-old, thoroughly debunked, alarmingly dangerous conspiracy theories in an effort to undermine our elections. The purpose is clear: divide, scare and intimidate working people to weaken our democracy. https://bit.ly/4wNAFMn

Donald Trump gives everyone the yips.

America is union made, and working people make our country strong. Happy 250th Independence Day from America’s unions!

It’s better in a union 💍 Congrats to @afm-union.bsky.social and @sagaftra.org member Taylor Swift and NFLPA member Travis Kelce on their marriage!

Rest in power, sister @unionwoman.bsky.social. 💔

We join the entire labor movement in mourning the loss of Central Labor Council of Nashville President Vonda McDaniel, a trailblazer and true champion of working people. To know Vonda was to love her. America’s unions send our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. https://bit.ly/4b2LyS8

This is more than just bad policy. This is a moral failure.

Medicaid and ACA enrollment falls by more than 5 million, new report finds

The decline over the last 12 months stems in part from President Donald Trump’s Medicaid cuts and the expired enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.

More work needs to be done on the Protect College Sports Act. As written, it silences college athletes’ voices, undermines collective bargaining rights, jeopardizes fair compensation and stops states from passing laws to protect and advance their rights. https://bit.ly/4vQhkd4

As an email director at heart, I sympathize with whoever was responsible for this. As a subscriber: HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME RELIVE MY TRAUMA.

What an honor it is to have Dolores Huerta, an icon and a hero, here at the @aflcio.org convention.

The voice that every 90s kid belted along to until our cassette tapes warped. You'll always be a prince to us. 😢

Peabo Bryson, the two-time Grammy-winning R&B artist memorable for his work on the hit Disney songs “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World,” has died. He was 75. bit.ly/4vtvG32

For just the 3rd time in 21 years, I'm missing @netrootsnation.bsky.social this year. But it's for a good reason: I'll be in Minneapolis for the @aflcio.org's constitutional convention. Excited to see our Minneapolis friends and labor family in just a few days!

AFL-CIO@aflcio.org · 2mo ago

We’re 9 days away from the AFL-CIO’s 30th Constitutional Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota! This is union democracy in action — where the labor movement is coming together, building solidarity, and strategizing for the fights ahead for working people.

Well that's bad.....

The @ituc.bsky.social's Global Rights Index is the world’s comprehensive survey of the violation of workers’ rights. For the first time, the United States has landed on their watchlist. The US is less safe and less free for workers. America's workers deserve better. https://bit.ly/4dVclQS

Uhhh that UFC dome thing they’re building across the street is kinda terrifying.

18 years ago I was in Speaker Pelosi’s office helping usher the digital politics age into Congress. One new (!!) thing I did was pull video of the best House Dem floor speeches for YouTube. Barney Frank on GOP’s attempt to kill ENDA still sticks with me. RIP. youtu.be/eKYMOtODQT4?...

Barney Frank was a curmudgeonly mensch. I'll miss him. Stop messing with Dodd-Frank, you jerks.

Today is the 10-year anniversary of Donald Trump first attacking @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social on twitter. What a very weird decade it's been.

Rebellions (and unions) are built on hope.

I’m in a union — I have friends everywhere.

This one's for the workers who toil night and day! Happy #MayDay, everyone. It’s better in a union. ✊

Massachusetts is still the best Commonwealth but I appreciate that Virginia voters were wicked smart today.

Confession: Sometimes I dream about going back to work in the Senate just so I could have a Cups chicken caesar wrap every day. (Again.)

I’d like to live in a country where a grandma doesn’t have to work as a Door Dash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment

My brackets have been ugly for weeks.... but I got it when it counted.

Go Bruins. 💙💛💙 I love this team. 🥹

AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social is rallying in Minnesota with working people today to say: #NoKings! When working people peacefully come together and fight for each other, we can stand up to the wealthiest bosses and the most powerful politicians.
