DEI? More like WTF. Killing projects and paychecks doesn’t stop ‘woke’—it stops work. UA members are trained to build safe, world-class infrastructure. Don’t play politics with our jobs.
Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles. More info to come soon from @USDOT.

Thousands of good union jobs are being cancelled by Donald Trump and Jack Ciattarelli is no where to be found. New Jersey deserves a fighter. #NJGov

White House joins Speaker Johnson in saying they're "having a little fun" with firing people & killing projects
Q: You just said this is an unenviable choice, layoffs are an unfortunate consequence. But the president posted a video likening Vought to the grim reaper. So which is it? LEAVITT: Look, the president likes to have a little fun every now and then and I think both things can be

Wow. If I'm reading this correctly, Trump was not kept in the loop as his accomplices cut nearly $200 million in law enforcement funding, the largest defunding-the-police action in NY in decades. Kristi Noem should resign or be fired over this.

Washington is in chaos. In just 24 hours, the Hudson River Tunnel is in jeopardy and the DOE pulled back $8B from projects in 16 states. That’s billions in work, thousands of jobs, and paychecks our members are counting on. This shutdown is nothing more than a lockout. #LIUNA

@RepCiscomani .@russvought cancelled a $6 million grant for United Power that @repgabeevans was pretty excited about it seems. https://t.co/vWHxuNEPpC
Last week I had the chance to tour United Power’s brand-new Mountain Peak natural gas peaking plant in Keenesburg. This investment will help provide more reliable, safe, and affordable energy for #CO08.

Trump's $8B in clean energy cuts will impact 200+ projects that could bring down energy prices and create thousands of jobs, per a list we obtained. And it's not just blue states — GOP districts will feel the hit too. w/ @kelseytam @SiegelScribe

The department targeted 16 blue states when canceling financial awards for 223 energy projects. But both parties will feel the impact.
