Trump is the biggest union-buster in U.S. history: More than 1 million federal workers’ collective bargaining rights are at risk Since Inauguration Day, the Trump administration has taken a flurry of actions that have put our federal agencies, economy, and democracy at risk. One alarming line of attack that directly threatens w...

🚨 Trump is the biggest union-buster in US history 🚨

In March, Trump stripped union protections from more than 1M federal workers.

Last week, leading up to Labor Day, Trump expanded his order to additional federal agencies.

Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago.

These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer.

This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

If you ever pick up the third volume of Hume's History of England by itself, I'm missing that one out of five. 😉

Medical debt shouldn’t ever be a thing in a developed country. No other Western industrialized nation has it.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."

No surprise, given it was just revealed that Attorney General Pam Bondi sold up to $5 million in Trump media stock the same day he announced sweeping tariffs that tanked the market.

Exclusive: A series of internal government messages obtained by The Post reveal how U.S. embassies and the State Department have pushed nations to clear hurdles for U.S. satellite companies, often mentioning Starlink by name.

Crockett debuts a new game called "Trump or trans," then displays a gigantic placard of Trump golfing

A cool thing for Dems to do would be to list conservative organizations they would revoke tax-exempt status for (on the entirely reasonable line that many are not real social welfare orgs and are not nonpartisan).

Might concentrate the minds of some Federalist Society (501c3) members.

ICE Lied About Everything on Deported U.S. Citizen Kids, Lawyers Say Attorneys for the families of the deported U.S. citizen children say federal immigration agents planned everything.

Undocumented mothers and their U.S. born children were deported. Attorneys for the families say federal immigration agents planned everything.

"She was trying to get ahold of a phone to try to call her family and her attorney. But she wasn’t being allowed.”

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

So, what's your next move, Supreme Court?

Again, you can tell who the Good Guys are because they’re the ones getting caught sneaking into elementary schools, lying that the kids’ parents sent them.

The Supreme Court’s New 5–4 Bailout for Trump Couldn’t Be More Ominous The Supreme Court handed Trump a major victory, lifting a restraining order that had prevented the mass deportation of migrants to an El Salvador prison.
