“Some say Democrats are angry...well I don’t believe it.” This man is gonna be the end of me. I’m curious how he thinks any reform of the founding inequalities he so dutifully mentions in the first excerpt was achieved...rainbows, smiles, & affable affection for the oppressors?
It is a great personal and official honor to receive the Profile in Courage Award, which stands as a powerful testament to the extraordinary legacy and leadership of President Kennedy. #ProfileInCourage
Just a reminder that Susan Collins called on Al Franken to resign without the so-called due process and presumption of innocence that she claimed to be defending today regarding Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
This sobering reminder might suggest today’s alignment is nothing new. Wrong. Never before has the Court’s 5-4 split aligned perfectly with partisan politics. Even in Bush v. Gore, two moderate Rs joined two Ds in dissenting. The threat to the Court’s legitimacy is obvious.
I want to be sure we're all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh said in his confirmation hearings last week. He referred to birth-control pills as "abortion-inducing drugs." That set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you, too.
During the three months since the Kim Jong Un-Trump summit and Trump's proclamation that North Korea intends to denuclearize, North Korea has built structures to obscure the entrance to at least one warhead storage facility. https://t.co/isSpjYqie1
This is why I hate that we call this work “low-skilled,” i.e, less valued. Should be the opposite, given that only the few are willing to take these physical and grueling jobs
With daily assaults on the dignity of each us, last night’s election can offer us hope. Ayanna Pressley is a talented, strong and deeply decent leader. Congress will be the better for her presence. What an exciting moment ....
I know I've said this before, but I have never been as blown away by a politician as I was the first time I heard Ayanna Pressley speak, in 2015. Congratulations to her and to Massachusetts; this is exciting.
Unions and labor movements are why we have workplace safety precautions, collective bargaining, weekends, minimum wages, and, yes, Labor Day.
We can't afford more damage to workers' rights. Make sure your senators hear from you: Let's #StopKavanaugh.
Happy Labor Day. There's no better time to talk about why workers’ rights would suffer if Brett Kavanaugh, whose hearings for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court start tomorrow, is confirmed.
We answered 15,000 calls and issued 600 citations and assessments against companies that cheated workers. We visited 247 locations. This work rarely makes the front page, but nothing’s more important to me and my team. #LaborDay#MaPoli
