The Trump Administration's cruel mass deportation effort has no place on commercial flights.

If the admin was forced to use gov planes and charters, without access to 45k daily commercial flights, it would limit these lawless deportations.

Grateful @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social covered my op-ed!

TSA's right to form a union makes us all safer | Opinion The Trump administrationโ€™s decision to end collective bargaining rights for Transportation Security Officers threatens our national security.

The Trump Administration has waged war on the working class and organized labor. I was grateful to highlight this attack โ€” specifically on TSA โ€” in my hometown paper, the Knoxville News Sentinel. #UnionStrong @knoxdems.bsky.social

โ€œYou can't lead the people if you don't love the people.โ€

Republican politicians continue to show callousness towards their own constituents.

The Trump Administration is for, by, and of the filthy rich โ€” trying to slash Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security for their next billionaire tax break.

On May Day, I represented the APFA Union as we demanded they finally prioritize the people over their profits.

This Easter, the teachings of Jesus feel especially poignant. Iโ€™m reflecting on the 2,000+ verses that instruct us to welcome the immigrant, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and love our neighbor as ourselves.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

The definition of dehumanization. This mindset can only lead to atrocities.

Remember when Republicans pretended they cared that you were paying $1 more for eggs before enabling Trump to destroy the entire economy, gut your 401K, and send the price of literally everything higher?

@booker.senate.gov is the true embodiment of a public servant. I had the pleasure of meeting with him at a fundraiser for the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty in 2017. Thank you @corybooker.com for always fighting for the working class of America.

I proudly stood with my union siblings on Capitol Hill to call out critical national security and aviation safety loopholes being exploited by the richest Americans. Their convenience is not more important than our safety.

The Trump Admin continues to disrespect American workers. Unions built the middle class and are essential for a strong workforce. Organized Labor must fight back!

At least 300 people appear at 'Empty Chair Town Hall' Friday night, along with local Democratic lawmakers Indivisible Knoxville and the Knox County Democratic Party gathered Friday for a town hall to vent frustration over leaders' recent policy decisions.

If Members of Congress refuse to meet with their constituents in-person, their tax-payer funded salaries should be suspended. Imagine what would happen if you refused to meet with your boss.
