WORKER WIN: A construction company will pay $725,000 in restitution and penalties over wage theft. Christian Siding illegally misclassified more than 200 workers at 16 projects and failed to pay prevailing wages at 3 DC-funded affordable housing projects. In DC, what you earn is what you are owed.

It was an incredible weekend in Chicago at Tradeswomen Build Nations, and a much-needed reminder of how awesome, badass, and supportive these union sisters are. ✊️💪 #twbn2025 #solidarityforever @ibewinternational.bsky.social

I’m so proud to be with thousands of my union sisters today at Tradeswomen Build Nations, the largest gathering of tradeswomen in the world! Tradeswomen are powerful trailblazers, and when we come together, we can lead the way in the trades and our labor movement.

I dunno, Cliff, maybe because people are exhausted from working their asses off their whole lives and STILL being broke? Because everything is expensive and systems are broken and people are saying "fuck it" and choosing a healthy work-life balance? #cliffbentzsucks

Sat in on a tele town hall with Cliff Bentz tonight. Questions were screened in advance, in his favor, and he got audibly pissed when someone DARED to suggest they're cutting Medicaid. "People just need to go find a job! Why is no one working anymore?" #cliffbentzsucks

I agree wholeheartedly... but they won't. They seem to have proven that their actions don't have consequences, and who's going to hold them accountable? Democrats? John Q. Public? Unlikely.

When work tells you they have no work for you (and you don't have PTO), all you can do is shrug and take your dogs for a jaunt among the snow mounds.

DOGE’s USDA cuts are beyond reckless. Rotting food at ports, rising grocery prices, and invasive species spreading unchecked? That’s not efficiency. It’s working people paying the price.

Men are shifting right because Republicans are making their lives worse and telling them to blame women and immigrants. Democrats should be pointing out this *extremely obvious* dynamic, not trying to peddle a lighter version of the same narrative.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

Elon Musk calls Social Security an “entitlement” to eliminate, but workers EARN those benefits with every paycheck. Meanwhile, his companies take billions in government funding and pay nothing in taxes.

A quick 🧵: The news of Congress potentially blowing a $1.1 billion hole in D.C.'s budget has certainly riled up a lot of people. But it's part of a larger trend of how Congress's years-long budget dysfunctions have bled into D.C.'s municipal government.

Mahmoud Khalil's arrest is a frightening turn.

If you value free speech, you should be concerned over the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

As she assumes duties as Labor Secretary, we urge Chavez-DeRemer to use her position in the Cabinet to advocate forcefully for working people who depend on the DOL to vigorously defend our wages, health and safety, and freedom to join a union.
