A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement. This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful. Keep up the fight.

Gwynne Wilcox was the first National Labor Relations Board member ever fired. A judge said Trump does not have the power to fire board members 'at will.'

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

As the oligarchy is conspicuously exposed, Americans will see as clearly as we did at the end of the first Gilded Age that we have no option but to take back power. Only then can we continue the essential work of America.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

We, via our chosen representatives, created US AID, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, NIH, and NOAA. Any action to shut or defund them disregards our will and is a direct attack on our role and power as voters. It’s a coup. We’re the target.

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets. This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

Egg prices hit record highs this week. Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu. How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public. His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.
Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Trump will try to take credit for the massive investments made in manufacturing/tech under Biden and the Democrats. It's just like how he took credit for the economy he inherited from Obama. Do not let him get away with it.
