Public sector workers expect better. Democrats need to prove they deserve our support. Our members are the horses that pull the cart and it’s time the Democratic Party understands that. #AFSCME #UnionStrong

I’m 64 and this week I’m walking away from the Democratic Party. I’ll support selected candidates and fight like hell for the workers I represent in AFSCME, but I’ve had enough of the Democrats as an institution. It’s been the SSDD and I’ve had enough.

Two things. First, this is one of the very few times I will ever read anything from Morning Joe. That outfit is little better than a televised circle jerk of disaffected media clowns. Second, let’s hope this is the last damn time we have to hear from anyone with the last name of Cuomo.

Hegseth had Signal messaging app installed on an office computer
The move was intended to circumvent a lack of cellphone service in much of the Pentagon and enable easier communication between Hegseth and other Trump officials, said people familiar with the matter.

The Iowa Legislature is considering a bill to eliminate income tax on tips. If that were to happen, my tipping will be reduced from 20% to 10%. I didn’t see the state lift a damn finger during collective bargaining.
