It is easy to see why financiers - and Silicon Valley tech billionaires - would want to remove the full employment mandate. Robots and Ai are expected to displace human labour and increase profits. open.substack.com/pub/annpetti...

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments

Here is the letter I just sent Chairman Walberg. You can disagree with me, Chairman, but you shouldn't lie about me. www.aft.org/sites/defaul...

This is only a fraction of the work that I have done at the AFT to combat antisemitism. It doesn't include my personal work. I can find dozens of examples. If all of this evidence doesn’t convince you, have you tried asking Grok, Congressman? Because even Grok knows that I combat antisemitism.

Really @repwalberg? You think I - a Jewish American who has faced antisemitism and is married to a Rabbi - has never spoken out against antisemitism? The truth is, I consistently speak out against antisemitism. Here are just a few examples.

Immigration One in five workers in America wasn’t born here. Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. The Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda is targeting working families nationwide and is wreaking havoc on our communities and economy.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers.

@yamiche.bsky.social is a fantastic reporter.
She did her job.

He should not have insulted or demeaned her

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Glad to see so many people in DC protesting Trump's take over and occupation of the city. bsky.app/profile/phil...

Tesla's 'Super Ambitious' $1 trillion deal for Musk could still pass shareholder muster Tesla's $1 trillion, 10-year pay package to retain CEO Elon Musk is likely to be approved by shareholders at the company's annual meeting in November even though the amount is staggering.

We urge shareholders to reject Musk’s money grab, take away the Tesla board’s rubber stamp, and restore basic corporate governance standards

Will RFK Jr.’s wrecking-ball approach to vaccines and public health lead Trump onto thin political ice? | CNN Politics Other institutions that Trump has targeted have struggled to mount an effective resistance to his efforts. But the medical profession may have more advantages than most.

What RFK Jr is doing is not just dangerous, it's unpopular. We need to keep pushing, because Americans won't stand for him taking away lifesaving vaccines. www.cnn.com/2025/09/07/p...

Poll: Trump's job ratings stay negative; Americans express strong support for vaccines Trump's overall approval sits at 43%, while 78% of respondents said they support the use of vaccines. Inflation and the cost of living are the top economic concerns.

Trump is bad at leading the country. From tariffs to inflation to restricting vaccines to cutting medicaid, Americans know that he's leading us in the wrong direction. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

CBS News poll: On Trump deploying National Guard, divisions over impact on crime, rights Trump's approval rating ticks back up; support for tariffs declines as some pull back buying.

Americans do not want Trump to deploy the national guard to US cities. Period. He should pull them out of DC immediately and stop threatening other Americans. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-n...

Thousands protest for a 'Free DC' on the fourth week of federal control in Washington Thousands have taken to the streets of Washington, D.C., to protest President Donald Trump's federal takeover of policing in the nation's capital.

The people of DC have our full support and solidarity. Trump must end the occupation. Listen to the people of DC. apnews.com/article/wash...
