Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

1/ Want to help US workers? Enforce labor law, not deportation orders. Undocumented immigrants are not the problem. The problem is the govt’s inadequate response to structural shifts in the economy that undermine worker power. NEW REPORT: smlr.rutgers.edu/sites/defau…

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

McDonald’s CEO was paid $17.8 million in 2022. It would take a typical McDonald’s worker more than 1,200 years to make that amount. The company just spent a million dollars trying to block raises for its workers in California. Corporate greed at its absolute worst.

Instead of cognitive tests about lions, giraffes and whales, maybe someone should ask him to identify the three branches of government.
Trump now claims to be Dustin Hoffman’s character from Rain Man.

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Her consulting firm also stands to gain if Trump is re-elected. Yet Clarence Thomas refuses to recuse himself from the Colorado ballot case. This should be a scandal of epic proportions.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers 3) Poverty is a policy choice 4) Health care is a human right 5) Strikes work Let's keep fighting for a better world.

The richest 1% accumulated nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of extreme wealth concentration to continue.

As they hoard more wealth, the ultra-rich will do anything to protect it. They know Democratic majorities would pass higher taxes, stricter regulations, and enforce anti-monopoly laws. This is why billionaires are doling out big bucks to Trump’s fascist campaign. Be warned.

If you don’t want to be called a scab then don’t scab.
Calling strikebreakers “scabs” is patently dehumanizing (and if your response to this is “good,” you should probably engage in some self-examination)

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a concrete company that wanted to sue a union because a strike cost them money. The 8-1 decision means the company, Glacier Northwest Inc., can sue the union over a strike where truck drivers left wet concrete in their trucks.

For those who think we've seen progress in addressing inequality
Some striking graphs from this year's World Inequality Report. First, the bottom 50% of humanity has a *smaller* share of total world income than they did in 1820 (about half). Their share declined during colonialism and remains at historic lows.
This new Warnock ad is perfect.

"When a country forces so many portions of its populace into the streets to fight for basic human rights, it should not be surprised when worker productivity falls. It’s hard to be productive when you are in a constant state of fear," writes @marymacTV latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
