On this day 69 years ago, in a historic move that changed the course of the labor movement, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations, the two largest labor federations, merged to form the AFL-CIO.

A bunch of billionaires who have never served a day in our military, are going to make themselves richer by gutting healthcare for our veterans.
The next time I hear ANY Trump voter say they “support our troops”, I’m going to remind them that THIS is what they voted for. 👇

Worried about the price of groceries? Seniors should have apid attention to what the felon elect told them he planned to do with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid!
For years, Dems have raised the alarm about Rs slashing Social Security, and Rs denied it.

Now, Elon Musk’s DOGE is pitching massive cuts to Social Security at Trump's behest.

While seniors struggle to make ends meet, the richest man on Earth wants to take money away from them.
