Texans are tired of business as usual. Billionaires keep getting richer and richer while we’re struggling to make ends meet. We need elected leaders who will create an economy that works for all of us. That’s why working people support @JamesTalarico for the U.S. Senate!

Houston is fired up. 🔥 IAM members held a #WorkersvsBillionaires rally with @TexasAFLCIO, @gcaflcio, and community allies, then knocked doors for @AFLCIO endorsed candidates. Workers build this economy. We won't let #billionaires buy elections in Texas. #Unionstrong

A 58-year-old letter carrier collapsed & died on his mail route in triple-digit heat. He's the third DFW letter carrier to die since 2023. Yet House Republicans JUST advanced a bill to block the federal heat rule. Working shouldn't be a death sentence. dallasobserver.com/news/dall…

Despite high-profile deaths, ‘nothing has changed’ for USPS carriers working in heat

Less than half of Dallas-area postal workers have access to air conditioned vehicles, the USPS said in a statement.

“There’s no reason I should be paycheck to paycheck.” Over 75% of @CapMetroATX / @KeolisNA employees can’t afford to live in Austin. Instead of taking care of workers, the CapMetro board is trying to pass the buck onto their subcontractor. Take action: bit.ly/capmetroaction
