The Clarity Act is still a bad bill. It would put workers’ financial security at risk by exposing our pensions to volatile cryptocurrency — while shielding crypto companies from oversight and regulation. Tell the Senate: vote NO on the Clarity Act! bit.ly/4xepQTU

How very fitting that literally on the 18th anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse, the Senate wants to give crypto softer oversight under the CFTC and let them recklessly access our union pensions and retirement investments. What could possibly go wrong?

Shame on any Democrat who votes for the abominable pro-crypto CLARITY Act. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO when it comes up for a crucial procedural vote tomorrow: (202) 224-3121.

9/11 – that 9/11 – was the last day I spent with my dad outside a hospital room. UCLA wasn’t in session yet and I went over to watch the news with my dad. I discovered why I hadn’t seen him in weeks: his skin was bright yellow with jaundice.

No matter how jaded and cynical working people get about their leaders in Washington, they still believe in the labor movement to fight for the wages, health care, safety and retirement they deserve. Happy Labor Day, everyone. There is (still) power in a union. ✊

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

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.
