Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
to the Guthrie family and the Woody Guthrie Center for an incredible couple days in Tulsa. It was an honor to receive the 2024 Woody Guthrie Prize and to play for such an amazing audience. If you get the chance check out the Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan museums there, they are incredible.
We will continue to seek a preliminary injunction in this case, and we will keep fighting for farm workers and all immigrant communities across the USA.” 2/

Federal workers are getting their union rights gutted, while new ICE hires get fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness to play fascist cosplay and terrorize our communities. Funny how the only “workers” winning are the Nazis.
The sad reality of trucking is that some of us will pass on alone. I've known many drivers who have died in their trucks. Some weren't discovered for days. @finalmiledotorg helps transport the deceased back home to their families. Getting a body back is extremely expensive. They are a non-profit. Please go check them out at https://t.co/PcnlAPXHjo and donate if you're able.
Trump’s order to strip federal workers of their bargaining rights was the biggest act of union-busting in history. Senate Republicans want to sneak a provision into the budget bill to finish the job. We urge senators to oppose this union-busting proposal. https://t.co/0ZbR8b8izf
Solidarity with @UFCW_7 and all striking Safeway/Albertsons workers! These essential workers are striking due to several unfair labor practices (ULPS) and for better working conditions. Retweet this post to show your solidarity! ✊
Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.
Teamsters Call on Colorado State Senators to Support HB 25-1122
Following its passage out of the Colorado State Senate Transportation & Energy Committee, Teamsters are calling on all lawmakers in the upper chamber to support HB 25-1122, legislation that would require the presence of a trained and licensed human safety operator in any autonomous vehicle (AV) operated for commercial use.
The bill recently passed the Colorado House of Representatives in a bipartisan vote, with more than 80 percent of lawmakers supporting it. The Teamsters are advocating for similar legislation in California, Delaware, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas.
“We refuse to stand idly by while Silicon Valley threatens the livelihoods of union members throughout Colorado,” said Dean Modecker, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 455. “If lawmakers want our support when they’re up for re-election, they need to stand with the Teamsters on this bill.”
URGENT: Federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms on Fri am. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained. 1/ #WeFeedYou
Colorado has one of the most regressive anti-worker, anti-union laws in the country.
Democrats finally have the votes to repeal it — but Democratic Gov. Jared Polis is threatening to veto it.
Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem, billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand
Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.
