The federal workers who take care of our veterans, inspect our food, and help people through natural disasters know Trump’s lawlessness is hurting everyday Americans and they are begging Congress to stop it.

Trump’s Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, is holding a press conference at the Department of Labor tomorrow morning to make an “announcement.” It’s probably not gonna be good news.

DOL workers are asking folks to come show support as they continue fighting Trump’s anti-worker agenda:
Stand up for workers' rights – join us tomorrow! At 9 a.m. ET on Friday, May 23, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be holding a press conference outside Department of Labor headquarters in D.C. to make a public announcement. We believe it's critical that workers’ voices are heard loud and clear. Join us to show your solidarity. Bring signs. Bring noise. Bonus points if you show up in costume or bring your inflatable rat. Together, let’s make a statement that can’t be ignored.

In a new story, the @newyorker.com shows how canceling DOL's international grants can also hurt American workers.

Thank you to all the brave staff who are speaking out despite threats from the administration! (AltDOL got a mention in this one, too 🤩)

This is the video of Kristi Noem's propaganda/threats against immigrants. A commenter brings up a good point - if the regime is claiming this is a "war"/"war-like," this video is a violation of the Third Geneva Convention. The human rights violations are stacking up.

ICYMI (especially if you work in Democratic politics):

Cutting cancer research is one of the things Americans are most worried about.

And one of the things they’ve heard the least about. According to polls from @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social:
1/
New survey data out from Navigator research shows the profound public concern and anger over the cuts in the Musk wilding spree. Unsurprisingly, voters are more concerned than almost anything by Trump and Musk shutting down cancer cure research (and research into cures for other diseases) in the U.S. 71% of independents says they're concerned or very concerned about it. 65% percent of voters over all. It's also something they've heard the least about. Here's the raw data for the poll and a powerpoint. And here's the chart on Elon and the billionaires. "Dangerous," "Power-Hungry," "Corrupt," and "Self-Serving" Are Best Descriptors of Musk and Other Billionaires' Actions Independents see them most as "dangerous," the job he is doing ao say they da greedy Oligarchic.

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws.

The ADA is law.

This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

25% of Americans live with a disability.

Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Superbowl ads airing tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." We may not have millions of dollars but between all of us, we do have a massive global network.

Here are just a few ways USAID could have spent $40M:

Save Foreign Aid
Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M: 🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year 🏈Bought enough emergency food aid products made in Rhode Island and Georgia to treat 800,000 severely malnourished children 🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50,000 people in Central America 🏈Protected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our world 🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Super Bowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID
