“This is where America’s next century of steel is being forged.”
This is the CEO of US Steel saying it will run its coal-based facilities into the ground and leave for non-union states, rather than reinvest in cleaner technologies in the towns that birthed the steel industry. Shameful legacy.

THE DWEEBS ARE WRONG.
Every time a Dem suggests a way to lower prices, the centrist policy dweebs screech, "NOT LIKE THAT!"
Great piece from @nateweisberg.bsky.social showing how the dweebs are wrong and Mamdani is right about exorbitant stadium beer prices.

Sadly the spell does wear off after a bit. That said, we know he’s well above 2nd level… what other WH creatures did he target?!?

Here’s the Data Showing Why Dems Must Keep Talking About Climate
Centrist groups want to see Democrats retreat from climate policy. That’s the wrong thing to do—both morally and strategically.

An exceptional Saturday morning jaunt through a critical moment in labor history!
This Day in Labor History: October 25, 1940. John L. Lewis gave a speech denouncing Franklin Delano Roosevelt and endorsing the Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie. This alienated Lewis from the rest of the CIO, which he had founded and funded. Let's talk about this weird moment.
