I’m incredibly honored to announce the endorsement of Assemblymember Damon Connolly!
I’m proud to have his trust and support to succeed him in the Assembly, build on his progressive legacy, and keep fighting for Marin and Sonoma Counties in Sacramento.
Thank you, Damon!
Newsom used his political muscle to:
-Allow Trump’s ally, the billionaire Ellison family, to own CBS, CNN & TikTok along with Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar
-Oppose a 5% billionaire wealth tax
-Kill Medicare for All in CA
-Veto an AI kill switch
A bed made by the Oligarchs.
Billionaires shouldn't exist. Period. Let's make them pay their fair share to keep California's hospitals open and health care workers on the job saving lives. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40
Netanyahu: I need $24 billion
Trump: Approved
Kraft: I need $72 million for "my" stadium
MA Governor: Approved
Kraft: I'm in the Epstein files
Trump's DOJ: They're redacted
Kraft: Destroy the massage parlor video
Judge: Okay
Macklemore: Genocide's bad
Kraft: You're canceled
The 7 billionaire NFL Oligarchs, led by Robert Kraft, who canceled Macklemore for courageously speaking out against the genocidal Israeli government are worth $80 billion.
They got $2.715 billion from taxpayers to build their stadiums.
These stadiums don't belong to the Oligarchs.
They belong to the American people - 60% of whom believe the U.S provides too much military aid to Israel.
We're supposed to be living in a democracy, not an oligarchy.
This is obscene.
Who would actually pay for an ad full of lies about a tax on billionaires? No surprise, it’s the billionaires themselves. #YesOn40#BillionaireTaxNow#NoOn41#NoOn42
For those of you keeping score at home.
Trump promised at least 15 times that he’d give checks to working Americans of between $1,000 and $5,000.
How much have they gotten: $0.00.
But here are the large corporations who did get tariff refund checks after charging you more for their products:
Trump’s Tariff Refund Checks
Walmart: $2.9 billion
Apple: $2.2 billion
Ford: $1.3 billion
Target: $994 million
Nike: $986 million
FedEx: $800 million
Home Depot: $730 million
Amazon: $600 million
GM: $500 million
UPS: $500 million
And they’re not alone.
After his so-called Big Beautiful Bill was enacted, 88 large corporations not only paid $0 in federal income taxes after making $105 billion in profits they got a combined $4.7 billion refund check from the IRS.
Here are just a few of them:
Trump’s IRS Refund Checks
CVS: $254 million
Pizza Hut, Taco Bell & KFC: $182 million
Disney: $130 million
United Airlines: $3 million
Southwest Airlines: $2 million
Yes. Trump l-o-v-e-s handing out huge corporate welfare checks to his wealthy friends.
But if you’re a working class stiff, he’s got nothing but broken promises, lies and contempt for you.
A 32-hour workweek ain’t radical, but let me tell you what is.
Since Trump’s election, the 7 wealthiest men alive-all Big Tech Oligarchs-got $1.1 trillion richer while the technology they’re building may destroy millions of jobs & the future of humanity.
Now, that’s radical.
Are you kidding me? Joe Crowley lost his congressional seat big time to AOC and is now a corporate lobbyist for UnitedHealth, JP Morgan Chase, Federal Express, Coca Cola and other large corporations.
He is the problem, not the solution.
Whatever Joe says do the exact opposite.
This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers whose dedication, tenacity, and passion allow California’s businesses and communities to thrive. Today and every day, I honor and fight to protect the hardworking individuals and unions who form the backbone of our nation’s strength and prosperity.
This Labor Day, thinking of my mother who was a @UAW union organizer and my father who retired from Toledo Jeep. They showed me that there is power in a union. Union membership means better wages, good benefits, and a safe and secure retirement. Thank you to all who keep those values alive today.
Labor Day is better when we celebrate together.
Join America’s unions at one of our events across the country where we’ll celebrate our power, build solidarity and protect the rights and freedoms of all workers.

🎲TEAMSTERS AT ENCORE BOSTON HARBOR LAUNCH STRIKE 🎲
More than 1,300 workers at Encore Boston Harbor, represented by Teamsters Local 25 and UNITE HERE Local 26, have been forced to go on strike after the company refused to bargain in good faith for a new contract.
On Thursday, August 20, Teamsters voted 97 percent in favor of authorizing a strike if a fair contract wasn’t reached.
Now, the Teamsters who make Encore a five-star resort are fighting back and demanding what they deserve.
