I've staffed two impeachment trials...
I've battled a Rule 19 fight....

But never have I ever been a part of a successful House discharge petition... UNTIL TODAY.

Thank you, Congress, for passing the Protect America's Workforce Act to restore fed workers' union rights.

Senate, it's your turn.

🚨🚨🚨 The 2 legislative day clock is now ticking for the floor vote on the discharge petition for the Protect America's Workforce Act to undo the Trump executive order that gutted 1 million federal workers' union rights. 🚨🚨🚨

Thank you, @golden.house.gov!
Screenshot of Rep. Jared Golden's tweet: "I just got back from the House floor, where I started the process to force a vote on my bill to restore the union rights that President Trump stripped from federal workers earlier this year. A majority of the House signed my discharge petition to undo the single largest act of union-busting in our nation’s history. Now it’s time to have a vote, and show America’s workforce that Congress has their back."

The Trump administration's Department of Labor launched a new website today for the country's 250th birthday "Celebrating the American Worker."

The banner image of the website is an AI-generated stock photo.

I wonder if @roycoopernc.bsky.social is in?

(That's a real screenshot from my inbox. I understand wanting a strong fundraising start for a good candidate out of the gate, but this is why people hate political emails.)

Did someone mention a discharge petition? The labor movement's got a discharge petition.

Rep. Jared Golden's Protect America's Workforce Act has the bipartisan votes to get to the floor. Let's restore federal workers' bargaining rights now.

I love my hometown of LA.
I love my union brothers and sisters.
And an injury to one is an injury to all.

Apparently CNN is trying to declare war with San Francisco via lower thirds tonight.
CNN calls San Francisco “San Fran” in its lower third caption.

From North America’s Building Trades Unions:

nabtu.org/press_releas...
Screenshot of a statement from NABTU President Sean McGarvey that reads: "“As currently written, the House Republicans’ reconciliation bill cannot be supported by the men and women of North America’s Building Trades Unions. It eliminates hundreds of thousands of energy jobs for our members and includes other deeply troubling provisions. “One of our top priorities in this process has been protecting meaningful job opportunities, but that priority is being completely undermined. Job cuts for blue-collar Americans should not foot the bill for billionaire tax cuts. We’re counting on our allies in Congress to fix this bill before it heads to the House floor — and we’ll be mobilizing to ensure our voices are heard.”

Definitely thought it was the *other* Pedro Martinez when I saw the headline and thought "That's wicked smart, Massachusetts."

Trump literally cited the number of lawsuits that unions had filed against his illegal actions as justification for his EO busting unions.

This is political revenge to shut us up, plain and simple.
