Those of you following my Twitter know how crucial I think the #PROAct is for the future of America's working class, so you can imagine how excited I am that the House passed it yesterday! To celebrate, here's a thread explaining why the bill's so key for workers in Gif form
Schneps reporters do crucial work covering our neighborhoods and holding power to account.
Many of the journalists who document the challenges New Yorkers face are struggling to afford life here themselves.
I am proud to stand in solidarity with the unionized Schneps reporters as they organize for a livable wage, affordable health care, and the dignity every worker deserves.
I just introduced a bill to make overtime pay more for the first time in nearly 90 years.
If you work more than 40 hours a week, you should get paid double for the extra time.
I’m working with @RepJayapal and @RepHorsford to get it done.
ICYMI: @JohnFugelsang spoke with Alex Lawson of @SSWorks about how the Trump administration is making it harder for Americans to claim their earned Social Security benefits.

Despite a packed schedule, @GovPritzker took the time to meet with @CWAUnion D4 members, listen to the issues impacting Illinois workers, and discuss solutions. Thank you for your partnership and commitment to keeping labor at the leadership table, where it belongs. #CWAStrong
Ohio and @D4CWA leaders from @CWAUnion gathered in Washington for their Presidents’ Meeting and Legislative Conference. It is an honor to stand with the working men and women who keep America running. Through collective bargaining, people create positive change from their unity.
Gov. Pritzker: Trump and Vance are failing our workers. They have sent costs skyrocketing and empowered wealthy corporations to treat workers like garbage. And Republicans in Congress have been acting like lapdogs, letting the White House trample on your rights by day, and then rubbing elbows with Elon Musk and David Ellison by night. It's time for Republicans in Washington to cut the bullshit.
Unions built the middle class and enabled Americans to live dignified lives, so this Congress must do everything it can to protect them from Trump's anti-labor administration. Everyday workers deserve the rights and protections that allow them to enjoy life.
I appreciated the opportunity to meet with members of the Communications Workers of America Local 1104 to talk about strengthening protections for good-paying union jobs and safeguarding the benefits their members have worked hard to earn.
Today, I joined @CWAUnion to discuss protecting health care for working families. As Co-Chair of @Labor_Caucus, I know unions have always led the fight for better benefits, stronger protections, and affordable care.
That's why I introduced the Capping Prescription Costs Act, which would lower out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for working families, and have been a constant advocate for protecting health care. No worker should have to choose between filling a prescription, paying rent, or putting food on the table. I'll keep fighting to lower costs and protect the health care families have earned.
Thank you to @CWAUnion for bringing together workers from across the country to fight for their rights in the age of AI.
I am proud to stand with workers and say NO to robot bosses and NO to spying on employees. The future of work must be one where AI stands for All Included.
Before the Senate I was a kid working construction on the South Side of Chicago. The union guys had higher pay, safer conditions, and a real pension. That's what built the middle class.
Today at the @cwaunion National Legislative-Political Conference I laid out my plan to rebuild it. With fighters like the workers in this room, we will.
I spoke in front of my brothers and sisters in the @CWAUnion about rural healthcare and the collapse of it that we are facing.
I know labor will lead the fight against corporations and lobbyists, and I’m proud to be a part of that fight for the working class.
Unions like @CWAUnion are the defenders of workers nationwide and the foundation of America’s labor movement.
Thankful for the opportunity to speak with hundreds of CWA members this week as we continue fighting for a livable wage, stronger worker protections, and the right to collectively bargain.
Unions like @CWAUnion are the reason Americans have some of our most important worker protections, like overtime pay and the five-day workweek.
I was honored to join the members of CWA today to celebrate their advocacy and hard work on behalf of all workers.
Ossoff: "Speaking of corruption, my two opponents. They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach ... they're both Trump puppets and we'll beat either one of them"
