Teamsters President Sean O’Brien is pushing Trump to nominate former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) for Secretary of the Department of Labor.
Here are 3 ways O’Brien and the Teamsters have already stabbed Trump in the back.

The USTR's new trade dispute with Canada is a pathetic attempt to paper over the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to stand up for American economic interests.
American businesses deserve stronger leadership abroad.

California Democrats have made a deal requiring Google and CA taxpayers to fund state-approved news organizations.
If Democrats replicate this alliance between Big Tech and legacy media nationwide, it would be open season on conservative journalists.

No, unions are not soaring.
American workers are fleeing in droves despite the Biden administration’s best efforts to force workers into unions.
Any “momentum” for Big Labor is a media fantasy.

A federal court ruled that Google violated antitrust law by paying to be the default search engine on browser providers.
This is the most significant antitrust ruling against a large tech company since the Microsoft case at the turn of the century.

Trump attracted union voters because he ran and governed on a worker freedom agenda.
As president, Trump strengthened protections for independent contractors, nullified an Obama-era rule that killed franchises, and cut taxes across the board.

Kamala Harris’s platform calls for expanding Big Labor’s tentacles into new industries, specifically naming the gig economy.
That would be disastrous, as gig economy workers prefer to remain independent contractors on a 3-1 ratio.

Did the CrowdStrike outage delay your flight or brick your laptop?
If you’re looking for someone to blame, start with the unelected European bureaucrats that set the stage for the CrowdStrike outage more than a decade ago.

The Supreme Court’s rebuke of the Chevron Doctrine has severely weakened the power of runaway executive agencies.
As the post-Chevron era begins, courts have already begun to block administrative overreach wherever it may arise.

Paraphrasing Mark Twain, Sanders will never let the truth get in the way of a good lie.
The least he can do is stop wasting taxpayer resources to hammer his political targets.
realclearmarkets.com/article…
Time and time again, Sanders has wasted taxpayer resources to paint companies he dislikes in a bad light.
Instead of following the facts, Sanders pursues predetermined political narratives.

Instead of believing that Big Labor bosses are on their team, Republicans should continue to court union workers by running on Trump’s worker-freedom agenda.

Democrats are pushing forward with antitrust bills that would grow government power over the economy, exacerbate Big Tech censorship, and blow a hole in the TikTok divestment law.
Republicans should vote “no.”

Biden said that he would triple tariffs on Chinese steel.
Biden should look at the facts and understand that the best way to strengthen the American steel industry is by allowing the Nippon/U.S. steel deal to proceed.

What sins did America’s crown jewel companies commit to deserve Khan’s “mob boss” smear?
Creating jobs and economic value?
Competing aggressively to deliver the best products and services to consumers, for free in some cases?

The Biden administration's aggressive anti-merger posture has chilled the startup ecosystem.
Antitrust enforcement untethered from the consumer welfare standard discourages entrepreneurs from turning good ideas into great companies.

Biden and his bureaucrats should step out of the way and let AI continue to flourish.
Regulatory activism is squarely outside of the FTC and DOJ’s remit, and will harm innovation and consumers.

Weaponizing antitrust law would not only harm conservatives.
It would help progressives achieve their ultimate goal of an economically dysfunctional, European-style economy.
Republicans should reject Democrats' antitrust power grab.
washingtonexaminer.com/resto…
Instead of linking arms with progressives, conservatives should advocate for codifying the consumer welfare standard into law.
Abandoning this precedent would only play into the Left's hands.

Biden’s opposition to the Nippon/U.S. Steel deal is another deliverable for the Big Labor bosses that spent at least $1.8 billion to elect Democrats in 2020.
Biden should prioritize American workers over campaign donors.
