The most union friendly presidency and they still voted for Trump.
The Teamsters had their pension system bailed out to the tune of 400 billion by Biden. That Teamsters president is Trump’s buddy but you’re right they chose the trans and immigrant boogie man over their own best interests and they will pay for that mistake.

This is a big deal: The National Counterintelligence and Security Center, FBI, and four other US agencies are jointly warning US defense companies to bolster security precautions in anticipation of possible Russian sabotage.
Not an alarm to hit snooze on.

Pete Hegseth has published three books in four years. Jonathan Chait spent the last week reading them—and concluded that Hegseth is almost certainly the most dangerous of Trump's cabinet picks. theatln.tc/s24Z8tF4

It’s incredible that Gaetz was (rightly) forced away from a position as AG because of sexual abuse allegations yet we have a PRESIDENT who was found guilty by a jury of sexual abuse and it doesn’t seem to be any sort of a problem.
GAETZ WITHDRAWS: Because anyone else Trump picks as his loyal consigliere AG will give off a less horrid stench than Gaetz — and will be less widely despised on the Hill — it’s especially important that Gaetz 2.0 be carefully and skeptically vetted by the Senate.

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

What’s the Difference Between a Rampaging Mob and a Righteous Protest?
From the French Revolution to January 6th, crowds have been heroized and vilified. Now they’re a field of study.

There is absolutely no basis in American law for Trump’s brazen attempt to use his past or future presidencies as devices to launder and erase the jury verdict convicting him of the 34 New York felonies he committed to interfere with the 2016 presidential election and to cover up that interference.
BREAKING: Trump’s anguished howl of rage that Alvin Bragg is pressing forward (even if only partially) to preserve the jury verdict on Trump’s 34 election interference & cover-up convictions
As I argued everywhere yesterday, Bragg is doing more than Jack Smith to keep going (even tho I wtd more!)
