Oh, the hypocrisy!

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Sent a letter today with my fellow Governors to Pres. Biden urging him to abandon his new Medicaid policies.

His policies will strip MILLIONS of Americans from access to crucial healthcare.

Texas will continue to protect our Medicaid safety net for our most vulnerable citizens.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

When big banks are able to borrow money from the Fed at less than 5.5% interest while charging the American people a median credit card interest rate of over 24% that's not the business of making credit available. That's extortion. We need a 15% cap on credit card interest rates.

Shawn Fain, President of the @UAW, went on CBS.

He said that billionaires should not exist, their wealth hoarding is inhumane, and that they're engaged in class warfare on the working class.

"Crew size mandates could stifle future investments in technology" is a favorite talking point of the rail industry. Don't buy it.

Yesterday, FRA Administrator Amit Bose was in Kansas City, where he joined labor representatives for a roundtable discussion and toured BNSF’s Argentine Yard as well as UP’s Neff, 18th St, & Matoon Creek Yards.

From the @AP: Federal inspectors have twice found hundreds of defects in the locomotives & railcars Union Pacific uses at the world’s largest railyard in Nebraska, but none of those seem to explain why a container filled with toxic acid exploded this fall. https://t.co/cIlBoJppgb

We are fighting Corporate America. We are closing the gap. We are taking what we deserve. But do not forget what we face against: those who want to bully workers and hold us back.

The rich will continue to shit on the working class.

[UAW @UAW]

“The question we have got to ask ourselves is, who’s going to benefit from that increased productivity? Is all of that income and wealth being created by worker productivity going to go to people on top, or are workers going to benefit?”
