Workers’ rights are human rights. From fair contracts to safe schools to immigrant justice — nobody is free until everybody is free. With Trump gutting unions & pitting workers against each other, I'm proud to stand in solidarity with our labor siblings in Boston & across the nation.
Thank you on this labor day!!
“I led the Army into New Orleans after Katrina.Why I worry about the next storm. #FEMA should be its own Cabinet-level agency. Emergency management is a mission on its own, not a part-time function of Homeland Security.”- Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré (Ret.) former commanding officer of the U.S.First Army
I’m praying for the FDNY firefighters, NYPD officers, and New Yorkers injured in this fire. Our law enforcement and first responders put their own safety at risk to keep New Yorkers safe, and I’m grateful for their selfless work every day.
Far less important, but in a petty swipe at CBO, OMB removed “CBO's mission is to provide the Congress with the objective, timely, non partisan analyses needed for economic and budget decisions and with the information and estimates required for the congressional budget process.”

Politics today is less driven by ideological conviction and more by parties chasing votes based on a distorted picture of public opinion, one filtered through algorithms that amplify emotionally engaging content. This incentivises performance over substance and erodes democratic deliberation.

Thank you so much Adam ! My Champ AND TO YOUR FAMILY Plus Lawyers for Good Government
From my grandfather, who battled union busters in the 1940s From my parents, school teachers who fought for fair wages and benefits From my daughter, who works with unions to create climate friendly jobs And me, representing union members injured at work Enjoy your Labor Day You've earned it
Labor Day - these are the men and women who build Michigan, teach our kids, take care of our loved ones, and who know that we’re more powerful together than we are alone. Whether or not you’re a part of organized labor, we all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have fought for all of us.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.
One small example of how RFK, Jr will harm Americans I’ve represented hundreds of clients in a system which requires prior approval of medical procedures It’s often used as a cudgel to delay-or completely deny-treatment It’ll be worse if run by AI Makes the concept of “death panels” seem quaint

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
BREAKING: At least 250 people killed in a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, officials say.
Meanwhile, did you see? A federal judge on Friday allowed the Trump admin and the Oklahoma AG to use his court to subvert democracy through a sham lawsuit manufactured to get rid of a pro-immigrant state law they don’t like without needing to go through the trouble of actually repealing the law.

NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
American federalism goes to work. As RFK Jr. heads down the road of more measles, more COVID-19 and more flu, public health states must develop our own strategies to stay safe.
Team Trump is purposefully raising your electricity prices, hoping you’ll be mad at your electric utility and not blame them. The benefit to them is extra dollars for their greedy fossil fuel donors. Here’s how it works.🧵

There have been 22 cases of Vibrio vulnificus reported across the U.S. South, including 2 recent deaths in Louisiana. That brings the state’s 2025 toll to 6 fatalities. It’s a bit of a “perfect storm,” as shifting ocean conditions and loss of CDC capacity collide.

Before President Trump deployed troops to LA, Army officials determined that using the military to protect federal agents carrying out his cruel deportation agenda posed an "extremely high" risk to civilians and soldiers alike. Congress must hold the administration accountable.

ICYMI, Social Security’s chief data officer reported that DOGE staff took actions that “constitute violations of laws, rules, and regulations, abuse of authority, gross mismanagement, and creation of a substantial and specific threat to public health & safety.” He was fired. Now this.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has widely deployed the National Guard, with clear plans to expand its presence nationwide and few safeguards to limit him. And it looks like he might take his use of the military to the polls in 2026 and 2028.
Another #FedWorkerFriday post. Here's video of Dr Deb Houry addressing a crowd across from CDC main campus on Aug 28, 2025. She resigned as CDC's Chief Medical Officer effective Aug 28, 2025. CDC staff will miss her leadership. We know she will be fighting with us to #savepublichealth & #saveCDC.

Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.
a scoopy one from me, with an assist from @accountable.us: Bill Pulte is using Palantir to gather "mortgage fraud" accusations and weaponize them against Dems in order to abet Trump's government capture. but, he formerly disclosed owning Palantir stock—and that's not his only potential conflict:
Garcia: This is a great ruling by the court. Of course, Donald Trump is already overreacting, saying this is going to somehow be the destruction of the United States. I'm not sure if he's aware he's trying to do that all on his own.
