When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws.
Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

This is the first time in US history that a state has repealed statutory protections for a specific group.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs a bill that strikes gender identity from Iowa civil rights law, making the state the first to remove civil rights from a previously protected class.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

First of all, Jewish activists have been literally leading the movement to end the Genocide in Gaza. Saying that supporting Palestinians amounts to antisemitism is totally asinine.
Secondly, anyone who thinks Trump gives a shit about anti-semitism is lying to themselves.
