Remember when Trump visited the CMU campus & the fence was painted to welcome him? The CMU Dems group lead that. They do voter registration & GOTV drives.
Their budge has been cut in half by the college admin. Let's donate & help get young people involved!

America’s unions urge Congress to oppose any provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that would ban states from enacting AI safety regulations and guardrails. Leaders should work for working people, not Big Tech. https://bit.ly/44ibCp1

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

If you wanted a Cadillac with a pickup truck bed in the 1970s, GM didn't make it. One of your choices was this weird truck sold by dealers.

It's been over a month since Speaker Johnson has brought the House back into session.
Our jobs can't get done if he won't bring us back.
Republicans have dragged this shutdown on for too long. We must negotiate a bill to protect healthcare & reopen the government. Folks are hurting.
