House votes for $1 billion in D.C. cuts while seeking to avert shutdown It is unclear what additional avenues remain for D.C. to advocate for a reversal of the cuts as the bill heads to the Senate.

"The drastic action is a departure from the way Congress has handled D.C.'s budget for two decades...

"The situation appears to have no modern precedent, and House leadership has provided little explanation for why it is happening..."

Union asks judge to block Elon Musk's DOGE from Labor Dept systems One of the largest U.S. labor unions asked a federal judge on Wednesday to block Elon Musk's government cost-cutting effort from accessing the Department of Labor's systems, which the union warned could give the billionaire sensitive information about investigations into his companies.

It’s outrageous that Elon Musk thinks he has the authority to access private data on workers. He has NO business raiding the Department of Labor.

With this lawsuit, we intend to stop this power grab.

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.

4. Don’t grade on a curve

This goes both ways. Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.

5,000 Oregon nurses at Providence are on STRIKE for better pay and safer working conditions!

A broken system hurts every patient & every family.

In Oregon, physicians, RNs, & others are on strike to demand Providence address unsafe staffing levels in emergency rooms & unfair wages. Add your name & tell Providence to put #PatientsBeforeProfits.

BREAKING: North Carolina Supreme Court Blocks Certification, Will Hear Ballot Challenge Case
YouTube video by Democracy Docket BREAKING: North Carolina Supreme Court Blocks Certification, Will Hear Ballot Challenge Case

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won.

Please watch and share.

This isn’t about politicsβ€”it’s about saving lives. Allowing RFK Jr. to oversee America’s health policy is like handing the keys to a car to someone who’s already crashed it. We can’t afford to take that risk.

Trump Appoints "Pro-Union" GOP Congresswoman as Secretary of Labor, But Questions Remain about Unionbusting Folks,Β  Greetings from the Burgh, where Payday is receiving late Friday night texts from people in the labor movement about how to make sense of the appointment of Congresswoman Lori Michelle Chavez-...

The true test is not what her past record was, but rather how subservient she will be to Donald Trump. Where will she stand on OSHA's proposed heat standard? Where is she on Schedule F? How hard will she come down on child labor?
