Teamsters President Sean O’Brien is pushing Trump to nominate former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) for Secretary of the Department of Labor.

Here are 3 ways O’Brien and the Teamsters have already stabbed Trump in the back.

🧵 worth your read on Labor Secretary potential.

Rank-and-file members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union voted to endorse Donald Trump over Kamala Harris on a 2 to 1 margin.

The Teamsters non-endorsement debacle is another example of union bosses ignoring the will of everyday workers.

The USTR's new trade dispute with Canada is a pathetic attempt to paper over the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to stand up for American economic interests.

American businesses deserve stronger leadership abroad.

California Democrats have made a deal requiring Google and CA taxpayers to fund state-approved news organizations.

If Democrats replicate this alliance between Big Tech and legacy media nationwide, it would be open season on conservative journalists.

No, unions are not soaring.

American workers are fleeing in droves despite the Biden administration’s best efforts to force workers into unions.

Any “momentum” for Big Labor is a media fantasy.

Kamala Harris’s first policy proposal was stealing former President Donald Trump’s “no tax on tips” idea.

Media reports indicate that Harris will now propose a Soviet-style grocery price control regime.

A federal court ruled that Google violated antitrust law by paying to be the default search engine on browser providers.

This is the most significant antitrust ruling against a large tech company since the Microsoft case at the turn of the century.

The 2024 election is a referendum on the Biden-Harris administration and the policies they have enacted.

Senators should reject Lauren McFerran’s NLRB nomination and allow our next President to appoint a sensible nominee instead.

Trump attracted union voters because he ran and governed on a worker freedom agenda.

As president, Trump strengthened protections for independent contractors, nullified an Obama-era rule that killed franchises, and cut taxes across the board.

All signs point to Harris being even further left than Biden on labor policy.

This is bad news for workers that value the freedom to earn a living without paying a union boss.

Kamala Harris’s platform calls for expanding Big Labor��s tentacles into new industries, specifically naming the gig economy.

That would be disastrous, as gig economy workers prefer to remain independent contractors on a 3-1 ratio.

Harris’s labor policy platform is designed to force every American worker into a union.

Big Labor is one of the Democratic Party’s fattest cash cows, spending at least $1.8 billion to elect the Biden-Harris ticket and down ballot Democrats in 2020.

Did the CrowdStrike outage delay your flight or brick your laptop?

If you’re looking for someone to blame, start with the unelected European bureaucrats that set the stage for the CrowdStrike outage more than a decade ago.

The Supreme Court’s rebuke of the Chevron Doctrine has severely weakened the power of runaway executive agencies.

As the post-Chevron era begins, courts have already begun to block administrative overreach wherever it may arise.

Paraphrasing Mark Twain, Sanders will never let the truth get in the way of a good lie.

The least he can do is stop wasting taxpayer resources to hammer his political targets.

Time and time again, Sanders has wasted taxpayer resources to paint companies he dislikes in a bad light.

Instead of following the facts, Sanders pursues predetermined political narratives.

Instead of believing that Big Labor bosses are on their team, Republicans should continue to court union workers by running on Trump’s worker-freedom agenda.

Democrats are pushing forward with antitrust bills that would grow government power over the economy, exacerbate Big Tech censorship, and blow a hole in the TikTok divestment law.

Republicans should vote “no.”
