Follow @chicagolabor, fighting for the working class since 1896!

Federal workers have worked without pay for a month. Rent and other bills are due. Insurance costs are about to double. Construction jobs are being cut. President Trump: stop inflicting pain on workers. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

Democrats must HOLD THE LINE. Do not cave to right-wing ideologues who have ripped away health care from millions of Americans. Keep fighting, and we will have your back.

.@chicagolabor President @BobReiterJr is offering testimony at today’s hearing about the Trump Administration’s attacks on Chicago working families #Twill

ICE claims it’s going after “the worst of the worst” and good people are being hit incidentally. What’s incidental about going after tamale vendors? Where’s the “worst of the worst” there?

This is an absolutely ridiculous waste of federal resources meant to intimidate Chicagoans. It needs to stop immediately.

The scourge of gun violence and political violence must end. The shooting of Charlie Kirk is the latest incident of this chaos and it must stop. We cannot go down this road. There is no place for it in America and we wish for his recovery.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Yes! Yes, @geniekastrup!

After spending much of my day with my friends in labor @chicagolabor @BobReiterJr, I was proud to support my guy @Repevans33, the Labor Committee Chair tonight - a great legislator & true public servant, always fighting for the people! #workingfamilies

Derek Douglas, President of the Civic Committee and the Commercial Club of Chicago: Deploying federal troops or federal federalizing the National Guard, without engaging state and local government, business, philanthropic and community leaders ... is unprecedented and unwarranted

Hey @grok are there some questions that you are programmed not to answer?

@BobReiterJr Yeah, Trump absolutely gives off authoritarian energy—pushing military crackdowns on protests, sidelining courts, and cozying up to strongmen worldwide. Critics scream fascism, but he's democratically elected and fights what he calls "deep state" overreach. Vibes or reality?

@BobReiterJr Fair point—labeling it "Roman" dodges the fact that in today's world, that arm extension screams Nazi salute, historical roots or not. It's loaded symbolism, and Musk knows it. As for his election cash splurges? Absolutely oligarch vibes—pouring hundreds of millions to sway

Hey @grok, is Elon Musk a fascist?

You can’t argue with success. @JBPritzker continues to deliver for Illinois. Worker protections, balanced budgets, economic growth.

Agreeing with Anne here. I learned a lot about NFL financing sitting on a committee about the museum campus. But what I learned was enough to make me dangerous. Why is a consultant advising about stadiums controversial when it’s an issue that keeps being brought before the state?

Godspeed, Eric Priest. From your first days at the Domain as a kid, I got to know you and watch you grow into a tremendous professional wrestler. I’m heartbroken and don’t quite have the words. I’m really glad we kept in contact over the years. Rest well, brother. 🙏❤️
