ICU nurse fatally shot by Border Patrol in Minneapolis cared for veterans Alex Pretti was kind and didn’t often discuss politics, friends and colleagues said. His family sharply disputed the Trump administration’s version of the shooting.

Our hearts are with our union brother Alex Jeffrey Pretti’s loved ones.

America’s unions demand that ICE leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt and that local authorities conduct a full, transparent investigation that will lead to accountability.

Poll: Should subsidies that lower health-insurance bills be extended? All adults: 72% say yes, 22% say no.

Poll: Should subsidies that lower health-insurance bills be extended? All adults: 72% say yes, 22% say no.

Working families are making it clear: they don’t want to see their health insurance costs double. Congress MUST permanently extend the ACA tax credits.

Tell Congress: fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put working people first. https://bit.ly/4ovmkjK
