Today, I joined my colleagues at the @Labor_Caucus press conference to unveil our bold, pro-worker agenda. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I'm fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded with fair wages, strong benefits, and the freedom to organize. Working people and their families shouldn't have to struggle just to make ends meet while billionaires get ahead. We're standing shoulder to shoulder with workers to build an economy that works for them. Because when workers win, America wins.

Pass the PRO Act. Pass the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. PERIOD.
Washington has talked about protecting workers long enough. We’ve got the numbers. Now let’s get shit done.
UNIONIZE EVERYTHING!
Public and local government workers deserve better pay, better benefits, and a damn seat at the table.
And to hell with anyone who disagrees.

I’m hopping on a plane to DC tomorrow for freshmen orientation tomorrow - so bonkers, it’s all happening! Excited to get to work for us. Between now and January you’ll still see me working at the restaurant in Eau Claire. I got debt and bills to pay! So proud to be a voice to embolden the working class and reclaim rural power in Congress.

We need more people like Troy Jackson in the halls of power – people who are on their feet all day working a shift, people who understand what it’s like to rob Peter to pay Paul, people who know the transformative strength of solidarity.
Congratulations, brother, and solidarity forever!

My office is monitoring this issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local Boards of Elections as they work on a solution.
Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count.

And now we're up to 763,307 early voters in Texas who didn't vote in 2024 so far. Including 367,329 Hispanic voters.

In 2024 Trump won 67% of the vote in Reeves County, the top turnout surge county on this list. So is this good news for TX Republicans? Absolutely not. In the primary this year, 82% of voters in Reeves County chose a Democratic ballot.

Folks, we have one week until Election Day.
There's no way for the working class to win our government back if we don't take action and VOTE. No one is going to swoop in and do this for us, we have to do it together.

That Premier League statement is damning. Full expulsion is the only way to clear the decks. Even a points deduction that ends in relegation will not be enough.
Your man @Knox_Harrington here speaking to @bbc5live about Manchester City being found guilty by the Premier League...

It's very important to make the argument City shouldn't be relegated but should be expelled. The EFL should get to choose whether it takes them and at what tier. The bad faith dealings have impacted many sides that are currently EFL teams.

I’ve said it my entire career: the middle class built America. And unions built the middle class. To every worker who's ever punched a clock, worked a double, or walked a line for fair wages – and to everyone who stands up for them, at the bargaining table, in the statehouse, or on the shop floor: thank you. This country runs in large part because of you.

71% of Americans support labor unions but, due to illegal union-busting by corporations like Amazon & Starbucks, only 10% of workers belong to one. That must change.
We must pass the PRO Act & make it easier for workers to exercise their constitutional right to form unions.

When workers stand together, we have the power to build a fairer, more just, more prosperous future for everyone.
That’s the power of @AFSCME. That’s the power of solidarity.

No one ever said flipping Alaska’s Senate seat was going to be easy.
But election forecasters across the board agree: this race is now a toss-up, and we can win it in November.
Alaska Senate race is now a toss-up. In a state Trump won by 13 points, Democrat Mary Peltola is nearly tied with Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan.
2026 Alaska Senate Race
🔵 Mary Peltola: 45%
🔴 Dan Sullivan: 47%
2024: Trump +13

Shorter Maine Senate Senate:
- The Dem nominee is @TroyJackson207.
- And it probably should have always been Troy Jackson.

The Democratic Party can become the party of labor again. Together, with my union brothers & sisters at the @MEAFLCIO by my side, we will make it happen. Solidarity forever.
