Whatβs worse is that this is just the Trump adminβs economic policies in action. Theyβre shrinking the middle class by making unforced errors and catering to billionaires.

The grit and determination of Americaβs workers and unions built the American Dream and a strong middle class.
Your jobs, your pay, your future are what we join arms with workers and unions to fight for.
Happy Labor Day!

Knoxville just lost $42 million in infrastructure grants for East Knoxville. Funding that would have gone to sidewalks, safe streets, and neighborhood improvements.
And yes, Tim Burchett, Marsha Blackburn, and Bill Hagerty all voted for it.
Elections matter.

Are you better off than you were 6 months ago? Tonight, Burchett will tell working people not to look behind the curtain while our schools are losing positions, our children are losing food programs, and people in his district will lose healthcare coverage no matter what spin he puts on it.

The DLCC fundraising tactics are highly confusing to people who are not very plugged into party politics.
This βrenew your membershipβ or βpending renewalβ stuff undermines red-state organizing efforts, and works against actual party building and membership that build political power for local orgs

Never thought Iβd use βrolling over like a dog for βtummy scratchesβ from the presidentβ in a statement but there wasnβt a more apt expression for the performative grandstanding our congressman does.

Being a stereotypical βstrong manβ is not strength, itβs weakness.
Being unable to convince others to work for a common goal means youβre failing as a leader. We should be wary of the people who show or praise that kind of leadership.

Ridiculous decision that continues to protect an obscene use of force and escalation by police across the United States.
Getting pulled over for speeding should not lead to being beaten to death. The video is sickening and this decision is not justice.

Justin Biggs burned through county sick leave during his campaign for trustee
Justin Biggs is at the center of a Knox News exclusive report into how the trustee's office broke county rules about travel spending and vehicle use.
Knox County GOP refusing to condemn this behavior is damning of the entire good ol' boys club.
I have no faith in a Trustee who can't see that the public has lost trust in him. Biggs should resign immediately,.
