Flying PHX to DCA. The pilot announced before takeoff: “The rules are the rules. I don’t care if you wear a blue hat or red hat, wear your mask and be nice to the flight attendants.” 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 @FlyingWithSara @AmericanAir

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Homosexuality has a place in America — and the Senate. 👋

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

@NoahKahan You'll get told to go to hell by some summer-time flatlander / With a Coexist-in' sticker on the bumper of their car

@Bradley_Airport @UConnMBB Nothing for @UConnWBB ?!?!

@GoYardGoats @Jeopardy @wads_atheneum Ken Jennings is a scab that continued to host during the WGA strike using old material when others like Mayim Bialik stood with labor.

[hrtfdguy @hrtfdguy]

Mostly because of the underfunding of Congress. Biden’s NLRB fought like hell for working people.

[Brandon Magner @BrandonMagner]

At heart of cases like Trump v. Slaughter is the assumption that today’s agencies like the NLRB are vastly more powerful than the FTC which existed in 1935, the year of Humphrey’s Executor. But as any student of labor law or labor history knows, the NLRB has never been weaker.

Private equity loots whatever they can.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Private equity drove a nursing home chain into the ground.

Then it declared bankruptcy, which could let it off the hook for hurting patients.

Now, it's trying to sell the company to the same people who bankrupted it.

@SenBlumenthal @RepGoodlander and I are sounding the alarm.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Penn State has fired James Franklin.

[National Labor Relations Board Union @TheNLRBU]

🚨🚨🚨

Yesterday, the Senate’s Appropriations Committee approved a $5 million cut to the National Labor Relations Board’s budget.

This comes less than a month after Senators, on a bipartisan basis, expressed their alarm over the ever-growing backlog of cases at the NLRB.

Proud of my Congresswoman @RepJahanaHayes for calling it out

[Acyn @Acyn]

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have nothing to say. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes
