The numbers show how damaging his chaotic policies are so he fired the person who reports them. Classic authoritarian behavior.

Dedicated & expert people at BLS collect this data with care not to serve anyone’s political interests but to present trusted info to guide economic decisions & policy.

Commissioner @erikamcentarfer.bsky.social, thank you for bringing your skill and expertise to this role and for answering every question, including when it meant explaining things multiple times to those of us who aren’t economists. I am proud to have served with you.

He hates the truth. That’s why he fires those who tell it. That’s why he does so much to hide it. He is destroying the economy and the numbers show it, so he’s fired the person who reports the data.

He is destroying the economy and the numbers show it. So he's fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the person who reports the data. #jobsreport #dol

Trump’s Department of Labor Continues Its Onslaught against Workers The Trump administration is doubling down on the president and his Department of Labor’s (DOL) deep hostility toward workers. Over the past six months,

Trump does not care about American workers - DOGE, Trump’s union busting cronies, and his @dol.gov leadership proves it.

Their actions have β€œput the lives of workers across the economy at risk,” says @juliesulabor.bsky.social, former Acting Secretary of the DOL.

Trump’s Department of Labor Continues Its Onslaught against Workers The Trump administration just revealed efforts to cut workers’ wages, make workers less safe, and legalize exploitation. This is what a War on Workers looks like.

As Republicans passed a bill slashing health care and food assistance and the Trump admin continues to terrorize, round up, and imprison workers, Trump’s Department of Labor tried to quietly write regulations to:

-Steal workers’ wages
-Make workers less safe
-Intimidate workers trying to organize

Report from the Front Lineβ€”Arizona Workers Under Attack As acting Secretary of Labor under President Biden, I traveled to Phoenix several times to ensure that federal funds spent in the region were benefiting

For people who have to work under the hot sun or in conditions of extreme heat, even indoors, it can be deadly. Every worker should come home healthy and safe. A federal heat safety standard is good common sense. More at: go.tcf.org/heat @tcfdotorg.bsky.social

Arizona Workers Under Attack | Julie Su To the workers and families who came and spoke, your stories and solidarity matter more than you know.

ICYMI: To all the workers and orgs in Phoenix who showed up to the listening session in May, I heard you. I wrote about it so more people could also hear you. Your stories and solidarity matter more than you know.

Contributor: A plan to take human rights off the table at the State Department Marco Rubio's proposal will wipe out expertise and infrastructure that promote justice abroad and keeps Americans safe at home.

We live in an interconnected world. This admin believes that the world is a zero-sum game and it’s everyone for themselves. It’s the same approach they’ve had to everything from immigration to health care, education to energy. (πŸͺ‘/1)

Congrats too to Black Voters Matter co-founder @mslatoshabrown.bsky.social, @krismayes.bsky.social, and @gallego.senate.gov

I asked Betty Hung to come to both events in Phoenix and she showed up, as she always does.

What a celebration of #workerpower!

Also got to hang out with Lee Saunders and my fellow honoree @rweingarten.bsky.social What a privilege it was to work with all of you to show what a truly pro-worker, pro-union administration looks like.

The Fire This Time | Julie Su When the government that is supposed to protect the people and keep the peace is the biggest perpetrator of violence, we must call it what it is: a gross abuse of power.

My comments on the gross abuse of presidential power occurring in Los Angeles.

President Trump loves to talk about β€˜beautiful, clean coal’ even as his administration is slashing the worker protections that have reduced black lung across coal country.

Our office on Constitution Ave in view of the Capitol also meant that thousands of people who walked by could see that we embraced the full diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and knew the fight for equality was unfinished. Both are even more true today: you are valued. πŸͺ‘/2
