Starbucks workers across the country today are striking in the face of union busting and retaliation.

We stand in solidarity with them, and all those fighting for dignity in the workplace and their right to collectively bargain.

Let's have their backs and make the PRO Act Law.

I just received a gracious phone call from Jessica Haire conceding the race for County Executive. I’m grateful to her for a hard run race, and for her dedicated service on our Council. I look forward to another four years making Anne Arundel the Best Place for All.

I don't like to use the phrase "right-to-work." It's a phrase pushed by the right wing. The media have adopted it & many people are familiar with it

To my mind, the best substitute is to call it an "anti-union-fee law," but that's awkward & many folks don't know what that means

Civil War historian here. Union army soldiers voted from@the battlefield to re elect Lincoln in 1864. I guess our neo Confederates have been pissed ever since!

And it only took Pence 22 months to say this! What a strong and courageous guy.

Hey @KattyKay_ , Your “very impressive” @GlennYoungkin’s first response to the attack on Paul Pelosi was to joke about sending Nancy back to be with him. Days later he advertises that he penned an apology. That’s impressive?

The Durham investigation has been a complete bust, an abject lesson in what happens when the Justice Department is weaponized to do a president's political bidding. It will be held up to generations of prosecutors as a cautionary tale about what not to do. https://t.co/uHZKLQrHoQ
