AFL-CIO: America’s Unions Take Trump to Court Over Illegal Firing of Federal Workers.

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement after the Trump administration illegally fired federal workers after shutting down the government to avoid fixing the health care crisis:

“Donald Trump shut down the government, choosing to lock workers out of their jobs instead of doing his. As millions of workers miss paychecks and Americans open letters saying their health care costs are skyrocketing, the Trump administration is creating even more pain and chaos by moving to illegally fire thousands of federal workers today. We won’t stand for this administration using hardworking Americans as pawns in a political game.

“America's unions will see him in court.”

By “this has got to come to an end” he means opposition to Republicans’ destruction of the country. They seek subjugation.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

People keep saying that Trump is prosecuting his political enemies but that’s not what this is.

She’s not a political enemy, she’s a prosecutor who charged and tried a criminal. The criminal got away and now has the power to exact revenge. A mobster ordering a hit. That’s all this is!

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 1d

It’s hard to overstate how grotesque is the prosecution of Letitia James. I hope John Roberts—who unleashed this malignant, vengeful career criminal on our beloved country—is enjoying Trump’s utter abuse of power and trashing of justice and the rule of law.

REMINDER: Just days ago, Speaker Johnson said Adelita Grijalva could be sworn in whenever she wanted.

Now, the GOP is using her swearing-in as political leverage and are leaving nearly 1 million people in AZ-07 without a representative during this shutdown.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The DOJ retaliating against the president’s enemies seems like the kind of scandal that should lead to the president’s impeachment and the disbarment of the U.S. attorney involved.

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

Most frustrating is so much of this shit is on the shadow docket with no explanation so there's no precedent set that will make them look even more corrupt when they abandon it during a Dem administration

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 1d

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

invocation of the insurrection act will be the key moment for everyone. the white house, any state where it's invoked, especially the supreme court. all public officials are ultimately responsible for acting in line with the constitution. a false invocation of the insurrection act, itself a ...

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 1d

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.
