Just a heads up, you literally cannot accumulate this much in personal wealth without extracting it from everyone else. Wealth inequality at this scale doesn't exist in a vacuum! It comes at a direct cost to working people, taxpayers, & all of our communities across the country.

61 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law.
1 year ago, the GOP gutted it to fund tax cuts for the rich.
Today, 61 co-sponsors are joining together to hold the GOP accountable for closing hospitals, terminating coverage for 15 million, and raising costs for us all.

Working people need lower grocery prices, affordable healthcare, stable housing, and cheaper gas.
But instead of caring about that, the Trump regime is spending $13 million on a reflecting pool through a shady no-bid contract tied to political insiders. …all while families ration prescriptions, drown in rent, and struggle to keep food on the table.
People didn’t vote for vanity projects for the well-connected #GreedyCEOs. They voted for relief. seiu.co/3S8djC6
This #MothersDay we honor working mothers, whether they’re on the front lines as essential workers or behind the scenes at their jobs, working tirelessly to make everything run smoothly.
Thank you, moms, for everything you do!
Reps @RonWyden and @FrankPallone are putting the facts on record in a new report:
$1 TRILLION cut from health care =
Hospitals closing. Workers laid off. People losing care.
This is the cost of gutting Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
These are not just numbers. These are REAL PEOPLE.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics February jobs report shows the unemployment rate increased to 4.4% and the estimated job growth was negative – total nonfarm employment decreased by 92,000 jobs.
It’s time to get real about the state of our economy. seiu.co/4t1NS2D
Reverend Jesse Jackson stood with and for working people. He understood that there is no civil rights movement without workers’ rights and no economic justice without strong unions. He showed us that dignity on the job is inseparable from dignity in our democracy.
AFSCME is heartbroken and outraged by the senseless murder of fellow union member Alex Jeffrey Pretti and the violence and intimidation enacted by this administration.
We will not let fear destroy the bonds that hold our communities together.

Workers across this country are sick and tired of the corporate greed and union busting they suffer day in and day out.
@ZohranKMamdani and I were proud to stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers.

Baristas at @Starbucks aren’t getting enough hours to pay the bills or qualify for benefits. It’s time for Starbucks executives to bring forth new proposals that address @SBWorkersUnited demands so unionized baristas can all move forward. #NoContractNoCoffee

Every week, I’m reminded of how deeply educators invest in their students and communities. Their work takes so many forms — and all of it matters. These are just a few stories from the week that make me #PublicSchoolProud.

ICYMI: Nearly 1,000 student food service and library workers at Syracuse University just ratified their first union contract with SEIU Local 200United — a major step forward for SEIU @ SU’s 4,000-member movement.
The win includes a wage jump to $17/hr, real training, written job descriptions, just-cause protections, paid bereavement leave, and new committees giving workers a voice in workplace conditions and safety.
Solidarity to every worker who fought for this contract.
