Hundreds of Tyson workers are gathering to take a stand against the company's illegal, abrupt layoffs. We stand with the workers against Tyson's corruption, which is demonstrated by the fact that their CEO makes 293x the average worker. And yet they can't afford to keep their Joslin plant open?

Tyson Foods just settled a price-fixing lawsuit and has almost doubled its profits this year compared to last. Its CEO makes $34.5M — 798x more than his median employee. Remember this as it closes plants in Illinois and Utah, laying off 3,200 with little notice.

In America, one health care company can own: Your doctor Your pharmacy Your insurance AND the middleman between your pharmacy and insurance. That means more profits for giant companies and higher costs for you. That's not right — and I have a bill to stop it.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
