It’s time to tell the truth. It’s time to call a thing a thing. We have a rogue President who has violated 249 years of Democratic guardrails set by the Founders. I broke it all the way down on @weeknightmsnbc Authoritarianism is here. And we must stop it now. #LaborDay

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
