Remember all the tech bro billionaires at Trump’s inauguration? He had them all at the White House yesterday. Again. He’s on their side, not working people. This is why we need AI guardrails.

They couldn’t even use a photo of an American worker for LABOR DAY.

The Reflecting Pool this morning, after spending nearly $15 million to not actually fix it (should have hired union workers!). Now, they have to spend millions more to fix it… again. Efficient!

Don't you have ANYTHING more important to do to help people who work for a living?

Is this…dancing? Or trying to distract Americans from looking too closely at how much destruction DOGE did to our government and the services we rely on?

Trump loves to talk about manufacturing but construction is declining under his leadership - down by 25% from the high in 2024. Losing 75,000 manufacturing jobs is nothing to brag about.

President Trump was the highest crypto earner in America in 2025. He said he doesn’t care about American’s financial situations, but he sure does seem to care a lot about his own.

DOGE cut thousands of FDA and Centers for Disease Control workers. Now we’re dealing with literal parasites in our food and have no idea where it’s coming from. Taco Bell can’t serve lettuce, cilantro, and even guacamole. Make Taco Bell Great Again.

I just had a 20 minute phone call with Elon Musk and he said he’s really sorry about DOGE.

As it turns out, raising prices on health care, ripping away food assistance and doing nothing to lower the cost-of-living for working families is unpopular.

Trump’s approval ratings are tanking. He only ripped health care from millions of people, made health care more expensive for everyone else and has overseen rent, grocery and gas expenses skyrocket. Yeah…. Real shocker that people are upset.

President Trump appointed 13 people to the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. 12 of them are tech billionaires. We need AI guardrails to protect working people’s jobs and freedoms—the Trump admin needs to hear their voices, not only Big Tech.

The U.S. economy lost 100,000 manufacturing jobs under the Trump administration. We wouldn't call that a “boom.”

The SAVE America Act has one goal: to stop working people from voting. Congress should be working to protect our democracy, not harm it. Tell your senators don’t make voting harder for working people! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

A former DOGE staffer tried to steal sensitive Social Security data and bring it to his new job. How can we EVER trust anyone who worked with DOGE on anything??

Project 2025 was always President Trump’s plan. Now we’re over a year into the second Trump administration, and over half of their plans have been implemented. Our communities — and all working people — will suffer because of it. n.pr/4dgfEDF
President Trump once insisted he had "nothing to do with Project 2025," the right-wing policy plan that became a key flashpoint during the presidential campaign.

The Democrats tried to turn the 900-page Heritage Foundation-led blueprint to remake the government into a political boogeyman, and succeeded to some degree, but it wasn't enough to win the election.

A year later, many of the policies have been implemented, from cracking down on immigration to dismantling the Department of Education.

"A lot of the policies from Day 1 to the last day and in between that the administration has adopted are right out of Project 2025," said Rob Bonta, the attorney general of California, who has used Project 2025 to prepare legal papers against the administration.

If there’s one thing Trump likes as much as a long and rambling State of the Union speech and helping his billionaire friends, it’s building unnecessary buildings. (Yes, the golden ballroom is still apparently happening. Yes, it still costs like $400 million.)

This economy might be good for billionaires and giant corporations, but not for working people. He’s so out of touch with what we have to do to survive in this economy.

Dr. Oz wants working people to delay their hard-earned retirement so the economic data will look better. Good luck with that one. We earned our retirement, and we won’t let some quack TV doctor tell us otherwise.

The Trump admin thinks it’s a win to have fewer federal workers than before we landed on the moon. America has 146 million more people now than it did in 1966. The strain these mass firings are already causing on our essential services is devastating.

Working people are tired of struggling in an economy that doesn’t work for them. This weekend at the Young Worker March on Washington, they came together in the freezing cold to fight for a more secure future for them and all working people.

Elon Musk said the quiet part out loud at Davos: he and his billionaire buddies want AI to make workers obsolete. There is dignity in work. Workers take pride in fulfilling the needs of their families and communities. We won’t let AI take that away and harm workers.

Tearing down parts of the White House to make a golden ballroom and throwing Gatsby-themed parties while cutting health care for millions of families and relentlessly busting our unions. Trump’s first year of his second term screams that he doesn’t care about working people.

It’s crazy that people aren’t fans of *checks notes* making health care unaffordable for millions, causing prices to rise on everything else, making billionaires richer, and firing the people who make our essential services run. Truly a mystery why people are mad.

Firing federal workers. Hire some back. Fire them again. Recruit workers to do the jobs of the folks they just fired. Seems pretty…inefficient? If only there was an agency that was actually supposed to work on government efficiency. bit.ly/3N12EGQ
