Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes.

Our senators can’t vote to give Trump’s secret police more money to kill innocent people, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights.

Demand that your senators vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads.

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.

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.

This isn’t about politics—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,  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?
