A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement.

This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful.

Keep up the fight.

Trump appeals order reinstating fired NLRB member, judge tells him 'president is not a king'

Gwynne Wilcox was the first National Labor Relations Board member ever fired. A judge said Trump does not have the power to fire board members 'at will.'

A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours.

Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.

Today is #WorldRareDiseaseDay
Big Pharma won't fund many rare disease clinical trials because it will not make them a profit, so these patients are left wanting.
The NIH is where the majority of #RareDisease funding comes from. Now that is being taken away.
Support your researchers and clinicians ❤️

You cannot claim to be “fiscally conservative” and refuse to support a wealth tax.

If Republicans believe in driving down the deficit, as they say, they should support taxing the ultra wealthy.

Why does this have to be the burden of working class Americans?
