Did you know US garment worker unions helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor organizing, uniting workers across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides?

The maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate is $3500. Elon Musk just donated $7 million to one Republican, because Citizens United gave a loophole to billionaires to buy elections. Overturn Citizens United.
NEW — Elon Musk has directed more than $7 million to help reelect Ohio Republican Sen. Jon Husted, per the Ohio Capital Journal.

OSSOFF: I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become. I refuse to accept that they will grow up with artificial friends and teachers in a society where the sick die not because there's no cure, but because they have no money—where we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world a thousandfold but we still refuse to guarantee healthcare for every citizen.  When Eva's old enough to ask me why I let this happen. I'm determined to answer truthfully that I didn't.

This is insane. The level of overt, proud racism, hatred and bigotry in today's Republican Party is a stain on every leader in it and it will never ever wash away.
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Fact Check: President Trump waived most of the new economic sanctions, along with tariffs, targeting Russia. They constantly lie to you because they think you’re stupid enough to believe everything they say.
.@SecScottBessent: "No one has been tougher on Russian sanctions than President Trump."

Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

Trump's net worth has skyrocketed by billions of dollars since he retook the White House mostly driven by his crypto scams. Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of America and it's not close. JD Vance's comments here are utterly preposterous and embarrassing.
JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"

Saw this last week. Comprehensive documentary on the richest and one of the most powerful people in the world. You should know a little more about him than you do.
Knowledge is power. 💫 In MUSK, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney delivers a jaw-dropping, informative, and yet endlessly entertaining "examination of the world's richest megalomaniac" (@IndieWire). Now playing in NY and LA. Nationwide Friday! #MuskMovie bit.ly/4ArO3ZA

The NY State Dept of Labor is about to launch a major upgrade to unemployment services that will affect everyone currently collecting unemployment and new filers. It’s the largest unemployment insurance system overhaul in US history. nycclc.org/news/union-strong…

Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the artificial intelligence they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

El-Sayed: Trump’s neat trick is to become the subject of every conversation and to force people to take sides. And here’s the thing about it: once you take sides, he’s forcing you to double down on crazier and crazier stuff. And soon enough, you’re out here signing on to a bunch of things that, like three years ago, you’re like, “That’s insane.” But here’s the problem: you don’t want to have to face down that one friend who’s going to tell you, “I told you so.” And so what happens is that you keep doubling down on the craziest stuff. And you find yourself so far gone up that tree that there’s no way you can climb down. We’ve got to help those folks. Because guess what? They’re paying for $5 gas too. They’re paying insane diesel prices too. They can’t see a doctor either

Tech Supervisors at the NYC Ferry voted unanimously Thurs to join the Transport Workers Union of America, the culmination of a hugely successful first organizing wave at the property that also saw Ferry Captains along with Technicians and Welders join the TWU in the last 3 mos.

Working people are struggling. Their paychecks aren’t stretching far enough. They stress over every bill, let alone taking their families to dinner or go on vacation once in a while. How do we solve the cost crisis? A union contract. More from @LizShuler: time.com/article/2026/10/15/…

It’s just so wild that these guys think they have no power and they just are Trump employees. The Congress could end the war and bring down gas prices tomorrow!
Speaker Johnson: “Everybody’s frustrated about the high prices of fuel, obviously, but that’s not related to policies, that’s not related to Republicans in office… …this is related to the straight of Hormuz.” Who wants to tell him?

“Pick another protein?!!” Let’s pick a different Senator - a union-endorsed candidate like @Scott_Colom who will fight for working families. ✊
She done lost her damn mind.
