Workers who do the hard work of organizing and unionizing deserve a fair and fast shot at a first contract β not endless delay tactics designed to run out the clock.
In New Hampshire, nurses voted to form the stateβs first union at a private hospital β but still donβt have a contract.
Thatβs why Iβm working to pass our bipartisan Faster Labor Contracts Act and standing with New Hampshire nurses and workers who are fighting for dignity, fairness, and a voice on the job.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a false claim in his testimony to the House on Wednesday. Then he repeated it in his testimony to the Senate on Thursday.
Hegseth said Wednesday: βIn 2024, troops were deplβ¦ β that was Joe Biden by the way, Joe Biden βΒ were deployed to polling locations in 15 states." He continued, "2024 β Joe Biden β troops deployed to polling locations in 15 states. Explain that one to me.β
HereοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½s the explanation: Hegsethβs claim isn't true.
Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election done by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries said *no troops* there were sent to polling places.
Rather, they said, Guard personnel were in other locations helping with election cybersecurity, doing other behind-the-scenesΒ support work, or not actually activated for the election after all.
