If you watch one thing today, make it this. These workers are risking their lives to build our cities and getting paid like their time, safety, and dignity don’t matter. They deserve fair pay. They deserve respect.
He builds our city but the companies he works for treat him like he’s disposable. 80-hour weeks. Paychecks worth what 20 hours should earn. No sick leave. No safety. No dignity.
This isn’t the “American dream.” It’s wage theft in plain sight. Watch. Share. Demand change.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

I dont think this is over but we live to fight another day
Changes to retaining judges were heavily contested, with opposition from the Utah Judicial Council, the Utah State Bar and 900+ lawyers.
Utah lawmakers call a truce and back away from judicial retention reform, for now
The agreement comes after a tense standoff between GOP lawmakers and leaders in the judicial branch over efforts to reform parts of Utah’s court system.

DOGE's attacks on federal workers are hurting working families across the country.
Federal workers are members of our communities who work to make our government work for working people, but now, they fear for their jobs and their livelihoods.
These are some of their stories.

Musk/Trump/NYT is going to call firing IRS agents savings, but the lost revenue will be many times their salaries: this all about making it easier for rich people to cheat on their taxes.
The IRS will begin laying off roughly 6,000 employees on Thursday as part of the Trump administration’s push to downsize the federal work force, three people familiar with the agency’s plans said.
