Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
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.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

They lost their damn minds if they don’t think we know how to knock doors in Belton, Grandview, Lee’s Summit, Midtown (!!), and Westport and win a race. Not sleeping on the Northland or eastern seats either. Looking forward to a 5-3 map ahead unless they get some sense.
Why isn’t RFK researching the effects of long term heroin use on cognitive function?
If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Absolutely love this quote, we all should be mindful!

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Had statements from Democrats in response to this tragedy nothing from the White House?? Seriously an oversight that is ugly and although a move to solve this issue using gun control measures is screaming to be addressed silence is what we get from 47 and his team. Where’s his anti-crime plan now?
Minnesota is heartbroken. From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together. Hug your kids close.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
We all remember 47’s horrendous mishandling of the Covid pandemic. Now in cahoots with RFK Jr he’s attempting to minimize his failure by attaching some “trumped up” misinformation about the vaccine that saved literally millions when we were watching millions a day perish from COVID-19.
Unbelievable, what are they thinking? Trump & RFK Jr. are allegedly planning to ban COVID vaccines "within months," after Trump labeled vaccine's development during pandemic as a "monumental achievement," according to associate of Kennedy's comments to Daily Beast. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
The numbers don’t lie—mass shootings are overwhelmingly committed by cisgender men, not transgender people.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
This is amazing. I'm so glad to see someone using his own insanity against him. It's about time. #USDemocracy
47 forgets that journalists provide a legitimate check on the executive branch and cannot be labeled “fake” just because they question his actions. That is their job. Americans know better than ever 47 will lie endlessly and is the least reliable source of information that has ever been in office.
This is what dictators sound like
OMG just substitute 47’s name for every mention of a network and you’ll get something much closer to being accurate.
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Cowards one and all…oh sure they’re all headed to heaven with 47 driving the suspicious white van up to the pearly gates.
Ingraham: Their take is of course she was going to say this because she wants a pardon, she wanted better digs, and she got transferred, and you say? *Camera cuts out*
a deal is brewing as smoke comes out of 47’s ears. we’re to believe everything is going better than ever when we can all see the ice bergs ahead. Sure 47 relates to a lying criminal as he sympathized with Maxwell’s getting caught wishing her well. Ah the good old days and their shared memories.
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
Judge rules 'Alligator Alcatraz' can stay open for now, but no further detainees or construction are allowed Within 60 days, the facility must also remove “all generators, gas, sewage & other waste and waste receptacles,” which calls into question how it would operate www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Excellent haul especially with fresh produce prices going up, up, up thanks to 47 doing exactly the opposite to what he lied about accomplishing.
Today's harvest was much more than I expected

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
All these distractions to keep focus away from all the notoriously horrendous policies, corruption, incompetence, Epstein files, and attempts to control and destroy our nation. Time to investigate and eliminate this evil regime.
Good riddance, these detention facilities were built with only cruelty in mind, they should be stopped, a massive waste of taxpayer dollars… federal judge ordered no more immigrant detainees be sent to center in Florida Everglades, & much of facility be dismantled. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!
Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?

Someone please counter this post with a request for 47 to answer for the crime of denying the results of the 2020 election,condoning the actions of convicted insurrectionists by pardoning all of them, blatantly ignoring our constitution, abusing taxpayer dollars for personal benefit to name a few.

Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
SERIOUSLY ALL CAPS??? Newsflash 47 should check his failing ratings among Americans losing faith in his ability to keep promises that got him elected. The entire nation waking up each day to new dangers on our horizons compliments of this corrupt and failing regime under the name MAGA.

On what authority is 47 a reliable judge of historical events when he lies and misrepresents the present so often. His untrustworthy accounts are no way to measure information. He attacks the news media daily misrepresenting both his actions and their merits. Hands off our history! Never unbiased!
By contrast, this piece is mere stenography not journalism. Repeats administration talking points without scrutiny, omits legal & historical context, and fails to include expert or stakeholder perspectives. Normalizing political intervention in public history without interrogating its implications.

Resent the misnomer Homeland Security. Those of us who consider this our “homeland” do not condone the poorly run abusive tactics of the current ICE policies of this regime. They operate outside of due process and go against our constitution and rule of law. Cruel, unjust and unacceptable.
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."

BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down. Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed? This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.
Completely agree! It’s too bad “they just haven’t been able to come up with a paint that looks enough like gold.” Can you even imagine? Looks like Midas threw up over the entire Oval Office. This is 47’s idea of an upgrade? More like the definition of waste fraud & abuse.
Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.
Yet another example of 47 relying on his usual scripted remarks…in this case failing terribly and embarrassing anyone but 47(he’s that clueless)
Can’t wait for @jaketapper.bsky.social’s book about this
This entire regime but especially the DOJ and Bondi will forever be a black mark on our history. It’s no wonder 47 is trying to get history “aligned” with his own interpretation. Yeah, no we prefer accuracy over whitewashing.
NEW: More than 20 state attorneys general have filed suit against the DOJ, alleging the Trump administration is unlawfully seeking to withhold critical funds for crime victims from states deemed noncompliant with its immigration enforcement efforts.
Heartlessness?? Noem lives in the woodwork of wherever she calls home. Poor victim cannot live with criticism. No sympathy here. what did she expect when she routinely rounds up immigrants that she has demonized, stripped of their due process and shipped away to wherever her black heart desires.
After getting busted living rent free in the residence designated for the Coast Guard Commandant, Noem says she was forced to do that because the media doxxed her.
"ICE" does not exist in any way that resembles what it was in its former life. This warrantless....non-identification bullshit...is the extension of the most evil, lawless...heartless son of a bitch in the United States of America.
this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw
Disgusting question…however gracefully answered by President Zelenskyy…made Doocy look ugly.
Peter Doocy asking Zelenskyy, a man who’s shown historic courage leading his country through invasion, if he’ll “keep sending troops to their deaths” or “redraw the maps” is vile. After his suit question last time, he should honestly just keep his mouth shut.
Video of President Zelenskyy's meeting with European leaders in Washington.
Is missing Melania had a message for Putin she could have appeared at 47’s side and publicly stated it at the so called press conference. We deserve to know exactly what the message contained.
Doocy asks Zelenskyy an insanely loaded question: "Are you prepared to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another couple years, or are you going to agree to redraw the maps?"
Why holding a meeting with Putin on American soil validates him in a shocking, unprecedented way, and represents a complete loss for the US. Stand with Ukraine 100%. 🇺🇦
Brown: In a state of 12 million people, half a million are going to lose their insurance. People didn’t vote for that. They didn’t vote for higher grocery bills. They didn’t vote for veterans’ benefits being slashed. They didn’t vote for any of this.
