NEWS: Fetterman statement on @UAW:
"If the Big 3 can find money in the couch cushions to bump executive pay by 40% over the past few years, they sure as hell can find the money to give hard-earned raises to the people who actually build the cars and trucks Pennsylvanians drive."
More revelations on the financial ties between Clarence Thomas and billionaire pal Harlan Crow:
The GOP megadonor paid the private school tuition for a Thomas family member the Supreme Court justice raised "as a son."
And no, Thomas didn't disclose the payments. (THREAD)
Corporate greed is JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo making $22.2 billion in profits last quarter by charging outrageous interest rates on credit cards, mortgages and auto loans. We need to end this modern day loan sharking and impose a reasonable cap on interest rates.
Comcast is one of the eight multinational media companies that control the news you watch, read, and hear. Shock of shocks. They are deploying illegal anti-union tactics against their employees. Media workers, like all workers, must be allowed to organize free of intimidation.
Harry Belafonte was not only a great entertainer, but he was a courageous leader in the fight against racism and worker oppression. Jane and I were privileged to consider him a friend and will miss him very much.
While 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured, the CEOs of six health insurance and services companies made a combined $355 million in 2022 – 18% more than in 2021. We have got to guarantee health care to all people as a right, not a privilege.
Today, I joined @VoteVets to make it clear to Republicans: hands off veterans' health benefits.
The Republicans' debt limit bill puts veterans’ health care at risk and jeopardizes their benefits they have earned.
One thing the media keeps missing about the Clarence Thomas scandal.
Harlan Crow is chairman of the board of the American Enterprise Institute. AEI may not be a direct litigant, but it files MANY amicus briefs with the court.
That creates a huge conflict of interest for Thomas.
In 2014, one of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow’s companies quietly bought several lots on a residential street in Savannah, GA.
The seller? Crow’s friend & travel companion Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. 🧵👇
Nothing to see here. Just an ordinary billionaire Republican donor who collects Nazi memorabilia buying property in Savannah, Georgia from a Supreme Court Justice who never disclosed it, in violation of the law requiring him to do so.

We will not stop. We will not give up! We will continue working to build a nation that includes, not excludes, or unjustly expels. People power will always prevail! Join US at https://t.co/QrokFaMeHA the link is in our bio! #TennesseeThree
By expelling two Black members of the “Tennessee Three” instead of taking action to stop school shootings, Republicans just gave the Democratic Party bright young new heroes for the future!
Thank you Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson! ✊🏾
Justin Pearson, one of the 3 representatives Tennessee republicans are voting to expel, speaks out.
“This is a first in American history. And we are losing our democracy to white supremacy. We are losing our democracy to patriarchy.”
We're hard at work shooting #NoirAlley.
