Bingo! Suddenly a swarm of fake brand new accounts outside of California with zero followers started following me and they are the only ones posting anything positive with respect to @GavinNewsom

It is obvious that he and his campaign are paying for professional trolls, real, and AI.

@Cartel_Cal @GavinNewsom Right, definitely the ones within city or county limits with hundreds of homes. OK

Our friend @grannybot2 has an upcoming medical procedure. She is grateful for the donations thus far, but is far from her needed goal. Please share, support, or donate—every small action counts! https://t.co/Irdx6a7lwn

Slipping under the radar of news and events, Independent Contracting is finally getting the spotlight it deserves. My latest @IWF blog.

In honor of the start of Lori Chavez-DeRemer's confirmation hearings, we re-upped @asthegirlturns' excellent piece from November. #FightForFreelancers

OPINION: Labor Sec Nominee Chavez-DeRemer Is a Trojan Horse to Complete the Union Takeover of DOL https://t.co/JbG1EjnIbX

We don’t need a Fox in the Hen House . Vote no on Chavez @thekimkavin @ErikSherman @RepKiley @FredTopel @Freelancers_USA @walterkirn @USChamberAction @MargRev @grannybot2 @reason @WSJ

[AdventuresOfTheMind @AdventuresOTM]

The fox in the hen house and if we have to have her, not until after we have a national right to freelance and a national right to work law that she cannot undo @ErikSherman @RepKiley @SenRandPaul @reason @FredTopel @Freelancers_USA @grannybot2

[Kim Kavin @thekimkavin]

"Barring a major scandal or mess-up, Lori Chavez-DeRemer will no doubt be confirmed. But a no-longer-silent independent majority will continue to hold her — and Congress' — feet to the fire."

[SBE Council @SBECouncil]

Q's for the DOL nominee: You were the only Republican on @EdWorkforceCmte to vote against the Small Businesses Before Bureaucrats Act...protecting small businesses from overreach. Do you still believe that the NLRB should have greater jurisdiction to target small businesses?

[Kim Kavin @thekimkavin]

This is notable because for years now, the National Association of Realtors has lobbied for state and federal legislation that will allow real-estate agents to remain independent contractors.

Per NAR, 87% of its members are classified as ICs.

[Kim Kavin @thekimkavin]

“Do you still support the ABC test, or will you commit to support the Trump administration’s 2021 independent contractor rule which protected the rights of workers to declare themselves as independent contractors?”

@KevinKileyCA Newsom is more an enemy to the people of California? I wish people would listen to you! America First!🇺🇸

[Mary McCarthy @marymjupiter]

@KevinKileyCA It all must be done

[Save Independent Work @SaveIndWork]

Looking forward to a hearing that provides clarity on Lori Chavez DeRemer's stance on independent workers. Our @USDOL needs to protect the livelihoods of independent business owners and freelancers across the country. @GOPHELP

New from me:

At this week's confirmation hearing for U.S. Labor Secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer, senators should ask these six questions about independent contractors.

[AdventuresOfTheMind @AdventuresOTM]

Protect the rights of freelancers vote no on Chavez-Remer. She is the Fox in the henhouse as a freshman Congress woman. She was one of only three Republican cosponsors of the pro act which spells disaster for 73 million independent contractors who are primarily older, female and minorities @thekimkavin @SenRandPaul @KevinKileyCA @RepKiley @reason @walterkirn @JohnStossel @grannybot2 @USChamberAction @WSJ

[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell @asthegirlturns]

@Gailrgordon2 I would say that California ICs need to get loud again, especially with the numbers showing that #AB5 did nothing for W-2 or union membership. If the state is going to turn around, they need to stop the bleeding, and repealing AB5 is one way to do that.

[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell @asthegirlturns]

“It is excellent news that the United States Department of Labor under President Donald J. Trump plans to roll back the Biden Independent Contractor final rule. Independent professionals, small businesses, and franchisers had great hope with the election of President Trump that he would soon address the regulatory overreach imposed by the last administration against the 64 million who contribute to the engines of the economy, and who only wish to work independently as we choose. We are thankful to President Trump that our hopes have not been dashed, and our voices have been heard.”
