[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Today, along with a group of my colleagues (@RepMikeLawler, @RepDonBacon, @RepMikeTurner, @RepLaLota, @RepGarbarino, @RepBresnahan, & Rep. Chris Smith), I called on President Trump to reconsider his Executive Order regarding collective bargaining rights of unionized federal workers.

We support efforts to improve government efficiency—but applying sweeping national security exemptions to agencies like SSA, FCC, GSA, and HHS risks doing more harm than good. These agencies are vital to public service. Undermining collective bargaining in these spaces weakens morale, accountability, and performance.

That’s why, alongside this letter, I introduced the Protect America’s Workforce Act with @RepGolden. This bipartisan bill restores a responsible, targeted approach—preserving bargaining rights and reinforcing the role that the worker’s voice plays in strengthening government.

We don’t have to choose between security and fairness. We can—and must—protect both.

.@UHLocal25, on behalf of multiple Rasika workers, calls for a James Beard Award ethics investigation into Knightsbridge. The restaurant group should not be claiming recognition for integrity in restaurant operations due to its treatment of workers.

See press release:

[@DCHomos @DCHomos]

Damn. Rasika canceled.

[UNITE HERE Local 25 @UHLocal25]

Thank you to all the elected officials who stopped outside the Congressional Press Dinner at the Old Post Office tonight to show your support for @BazaarWorkers!

[DC Restaurant Workers Rising @DCfoodworkers]

A busser at The Bazaar speaks out about why the workers are forming a union.

[UNITE HERE Local 25 @UHLocal25]

Workers José Andrés’ The Bazaar in D.C. have announced their intention to form a union with Local 25!

The MD Dept of Health is calling for community input on the “most important issues affecting the health and wellbeing of our communities.”

Join us on Thursday, Dec. 7 for a coworking session to fill out the survey & learn how you can help us reach more community members!

[Hannah Davis @ahandvanish]

There's still time to take @patientled's reinfections survey!

Help us understand the impact that reinfections have on health outcomes. We need responses from people who never had COVID, those who have, & those with #LongCovid.

The survey will close 8/31! https://t.co/qtEquc68Dw

[COVID Safe Maryland @CovidSafeMD]

#COVID is in the air, so why are our healthcare providers telling us it's safe to unmask during visits? We need to #KeepMasksInHealthcare to make healthcare safer for everyone.

[Allison Burket @burketaj]

@eiryngs Thinking of you! Wishing you the absolute best possible outcome

[Allison Burket @burketaj]

@FenitN @yarber79 @Sheila_Regan This is a disappointing article. While its true much of society has long decided to "move on" as someone w Long Covid, I dont have that luxury. Isnt is journalisms job to warn of covids very real dangers, like the 1/10 risk of LC, not just repeating narratives that downplay them?

Not just the ‘chronically ill’ who lose when hospitals drop mask mandates | READER COMMENTARY https://t.co/UFyBXA45nl

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

How is anyone that chose to be a healer fine with spreading an airborne SARS virus in healthcare? SARS2 is the #1 infectious disease killer of Canadians of all ages. By a wide margin. Universal masking in healthcare is common sense and basic human decency. #KeepMasksInHealthCare

[COVID Safe Maryland @CovidSafeMD]

It's the National #MaskWeekOfAction - let's make some calls together to tell our elected leaders & hospital leaders to #KeepMasksInHealthcare!

Register here to join us at 4pm on Wednesday on Zoom: https://t.co/cnuYloY93Z

[Allison Burket @burketaj]

Face masks still a good idea in the doctor's office. What gives @HopkinsMedicine ? @MDHealthDept please act to #KeepMasksInHealthCare https://t.co/p4KLqmc7H9

[Allison Burket @burketaj]

Healthcare should be for healing, not catching infectious and health-damaging viruses. #KeepMasksInHealthcare @GovWesMoore @MDHealthDept #MaskWeekofAction

[Allison Burket @burketaj]

@HopkinsMedicine How dare you claim to be in a “post-covid” world. I am still struggling with long covid, a few friends of mine got covid last week - do we not count? Or does our health not matter to you?

[COVID Safe Maryland @CovidSafeMD]

100 days ago, almost every hospital in MD had universal masking protections. Now, almost none do. This means immunocompromised, disabled, & other high-risk Marylanders can't access essential healthcare safely. @GovWesMoore, please take action, because we're being left behind.

[Allison Burket @burketaj]

@HopkinsMedicine why would you do this? Asymptomatic transmission is real - why risk exposing all patients in a waiting room to COVID? Asking everyone to wear a mask costs JHM nothing, yet, as someone with long Covid, catching covid again would cost me everything
