IBEW members know @KamalaHarris and have engaged with her as she’s visited our job sites and union halls. She has listened to us, and we stand confident that she will continue this administration’s extraordinary pro-worker record. https://t.co/6leJEXjxvr
“The working men and women of the United States owe President Joe Biden a great debt of gratitude, and on behalf of the entire membership of the IBEW, I want to thank him for his leadership.” IBEW Pres. Kenny Cooper. https://t.co/vXwLZBTwiM
All of us at the birthplace of the @IBEW offer our heartfelt thanks to the most pro-worker President in our lifetime!
Thank you President @JoeBiden@POTUS for your work to improve the lives of working families!
Important Thread: @ErieCountyNY is being affected by the Crowdstrike global outage. All of our life-safety systems, such as 911, are operational. However, if you have an appointment with our @ECSocServices, were planning on applying for public assistance through DSS... 1/3
The local economy keeps motoring along. In June, there were 9.200 more total nonfarm jobs in the Buffalo-Niagara Metro Region compared to June 2023, 567,900 jobs in total.
It's more proof of the strength of our local economy!

The rightwing commentariat is sharing this clip & hailing Don Jr as a hero, a genius. A reminder of how we live in different realities. I watch it & only see a prickly/defensive nepo-baby unable to answer a simple Q & being rude to a polite reporter. But it’s a ‘win’ apparently!
Europeans can be in amazing shape & live to 100+ while:
• Eating carbs 24/7
• Rarely going to the gym
• Drinking alcohol every day
But when Americans do it?
They become obese & get sick.
It took some time...
But I think I found what EXACTLY is going on:

A quick video I put together of the damage from several tornadoes that hit the Western NY area today. This type of damage from tornadoes in WNY is very rare.

The PBM hired by TriCare, is out there trying to kill independent pharmacies by asking them to do a deal that pays them less than cost and ZERO for the work to actually fill the prescription.
The Indy pharmacies are in a catch 22. They want to support all the service members in their communities, that put it on the line for our country.
But the PBM doesn’t care about those local pharmacies.
Here is an example.
Eliquis -
Pharmacy cost: $576.57
PBM payment to Phamracy= $543.16
Pharmacy Net Loss = $33.41
It’s the same for ALL BRAND MEDs
If you want to see your local pharmacy able to support our service members and their families, without going out of business, please call your Senator and ask them to do something to change the PBM that the DOD works with.
Use a Pass Through PBM and save taxpayers billions and keep alive thousands of pharmacies
If you have examples of PBM greed killing Indy pharmacies and /or costing taxpayers money, tag me and I’ll repost it
Martha shared this pic from Chateau @SteMichelle where she works under a UFW contract. She's pleased her union contract means she gets the day as a paid holiday. When you buy wine for your #July4 BBQ/party make it a union wine. https://t.co/9EhPAnf8KU #WeFeedYou#UnionsForAll
I don't know what they've got in these performance enhancers, but I'm feeling pretty jacked up.
Try it yourselves, folks.

Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite the company's major safety problems — which Calhoun is testifying about before the Senate today.
Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?
A $45 million golden parachute.
Unreal.
Eighty years ago this month, the allied forces of World War II conducted the largest amphibious invasion in the history of mankind. Known as D-Day, it involved more 24,000 troops, among them #IBEW members. Here are some of their stories. 🧵
We often get asked why we cover our skin even in hot weather. Why do we need long pants, long sleeves and head/face coverings in 100+ weather?
Reason one: health experts advise anyone to dress in light layers to keep cool when working in the sun. (1/thread) #WeFeedYou
Price gouging, not stubborn inflation, was driving up prices. That's why retailers are so readily reducing price, when yall stopped buying they starting rolling back costs. Corporate greed is a mighty thing.
