BREAKING: AFGE is suing the Trump administration over illegally forcing Department of Education workers to engage in partisan political rhetoric during the government federal shutdown.

NBC News previously reported that department employees found their nonpartisan out-of-office messages were automatically changed to ones criticizing Democrats for the shutdown.

Are you fed up with a system where the top 10% are adding TRILLIONS to their wealth while we struggle living paycheck-to-paycheck? Workers don’t have to accept the current state of our economy. A union contract is how we level the playing field.

All wealth groups saw gains over the past year, according to recent Fed data. But the growth has been fastest for those at the very top.

The labor movement grieves all those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001—including more than 600 members of our union family—and urges leaders to take the necessary steps so first responders and survivors can continue to heal. https://t.co/OSCwZehmmf

Congratulations @JamesWalkinshaw on your big win! We know you’ll make working families proud #1u
As I promised, I arrived at the U.S. Capitol at 9:00 am. My hope is that Speaker Johnson follows the precedent he set and that I’m sworn in right away to begin serving Fairfax families in Congress.

As lieutenant governor, I will be a partner to Virginia’s unions in protecting our workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively for fair pay, good benefits, and safe workplaces. That’s why I am proud to earn the endorsement of the @Virginia_AFLCIO.

A thought on this weekend’s “No Kings” tantrums. Nothing screams “I want to be an all-powerful monarch” like protecting the right of every peasant to be armed to the teeth. Because that’s what kings love — an armed populace capable of telling them to get stuffed. Right?

@USW8888 @AFLCIO @STRedmond @BobbyScott @BobbyScott4VA3 @shannonlederer Earth-shattering data comparison between the $$ spent on immigration enforcement and labor standards enforcement. This is an anti-worker, anti-union playbook. “They want to make us afraid to stand up and together.”
