The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Any chance we can do trades backsies with the Ravens, like the Jon Dorenbos trade years ago (I know Dorenbos didn’t pass his physical, but still)

We need to go back to the days of having a president without an ego

No, dumbass, the Confederacy is not our heritage. It's the heritage of a shitty fake-ass country that existed for under a decade.

Saquon Barkley was jokingly asked if Jordan Davis has a future at RB.

"Probably not. Probably not a future at running back, but I wonder what his speed was," Barkley said.

He was told over 18 mph.

"He was over 18!? Maybe he has a future at running back."

When big corporations enable the government to silence their employees, our entire democracy is at risk. The labor movement stands with @sagaftra.org, @wgaeast.bsky.social, and @afm-union.bsky.social in condemning the attacks of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and defending workers’ fundamental freedoms.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

The House Republican majority is trying to cut the Department of Labor by 30%. It’s clear they don’t give a f*ck about workers.

If this is how the IDF treats American citizens traveling with media attention, it brings even more credibility to the reports of their abuses of Palestinian civilians. I stand in solidarity w/ my brother Chris, the civilians in Gaza and all working towards peace and dignity for all. End this horror

David Huerta was peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights when he was assaulted and injured by ICE agents. He is currently in the hospital under detention.

This is unacceptable.

Praying for David’s health and demanding accountability.

Organizing is an art, not just a science

Court Rules to Stop Trump Administration Effort to Gut Institute of Museum and Library Services American Library Association and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Win Order to Pause Cuts to Independent Agency, Which Threaten Libraries Nationwide

BREAKING: Judge grants a temporary restraining order to stop the shutdown of the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences thanks to a case brought by AFSCME, @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social & @democracyforward.org

This is a victory for our nation's library and museum workers.

This Library Workers Day, AFSCME salutes the workers who power public libraries. The White House is defunding the only federal agency that supports libraries, the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

We are challenging the move in court: www.afscme.org/press/releas...

The FTC has halted its lawsuit accusing OptumRX, CVS, and Express Scripts of breaking the law by inflating insulin prices.

Trump illegally fired the two Democratic members of the commission, and now these corporations are going to get away with price gauging insulin.

Virginia service worker Jennifer Piggott voted for Trump knowing others would suffer she just never thought… 🐆💀

Today the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service is terminating nearly all of its staff and services.

FMCS is going to be gutted. That means less grievance mediation, less contract mediation, less labor-management relations trainings. That means more strikes, more arbitrations, more costs.

Malone said Saturday that his campaign volunteers have heard concerns from thousands of voters over Musk’s work with the Trump administration to reshape the federal government, which he said has led to “benefits for veterans, retirees and students” being cut “so Elon Musk can get a tax cut.” “Josh Parsons might be OK with that but I’m not,” Malone said. “On Tuesday, you’ll get to make the choice between more Musk, or Lancaster values.”

The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign.

Elon Musk reposted a tweet that equated public service workers with genocidal murderers. Our nurses, educators, firefighters and sanitation workers make our communities strong. Elon has no idea what working people go through.

🧵 BREAKING NEWS: the world’s richest man learns that actions have consequences…

NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.

Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.

And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

This is correct.

Health care is one of the data-driven ways you reduce crime 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant.

Today:

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience.

Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”
