I spoke to Kenis Lopez, a carpenter and member of the worker center CTUL, who was abducted from Minnesota in January and deported to the Central African Republic, a country he has never been to. He is being held in Bangui and trying to get home. workdaymagazine.org/minnesot…

A top Trump labor official responsible for protecting workers’ rights and transparency in labor-management relations failed to disclose more than $750,000 for her and her husband from anti-union groups when President Trump appointed her in 2025.

I find this effort to distance Stevens from her staff/supporters tiresome. I buy they were left in the dark about the explicit Rogers endorsement but—even on the issue of partisan loyalty—they had no problem with her primary being funded almost entirety by Trump mega-donors (1/5)
NEW
Former Stevens staffers blast her "selfish ... irrational ... shameful" decision in open letter
Comes from former organizing director Max Skove and 20+ other (not named) ex-staff, including one now in senior role on El-Sayed campaign
ALT We worked for Haley Stevens’ Senate campaign because we all believed in one thing: that it is absolutely essential to keep Michigan’s Senate seat blue come Election Day. For over a year, Rep. Stevens criticized Mike Rogers as a corrupt career politician who would blindly rubber-stamp Donald Trump’s chaos, regardless of the damage it inflicted on Michiganders. It’s infuriating to watch her become the very thing she once condemned. She told CNN there was too much “on the line” to play games a few days ago. Now, she's doing just that. Her appalling behavior is an insult to anyone who wasted even a moment of their time supporting her campaign. Here is what her selfish – and irrational – decision puts in jeopardy: reproductive rights, health care, voting rights, at least two Supreme Court seats, and the manufacturing jobs that she claimed to champion. The day before she endorsed him, leaked audio confirmed Rogers would support a national abortion ban. That is what’s at stake. As former.

Now Trump agrees: “cut off aid to Israel”to neutralize a deeply effective talking point. JStreet isnt just shopping a Netanyahu talking point but a Trump one. The pro-genocide crowd knows how well “stop using your tax dollars to kill Palestinians—use it in your communities” plays

"The surge in construction of fossil-fueled power plants to run AI data centers is set to undo 15 years’ worth of greenhouse gas reductions from US electricity generation" 👍🏿bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Once again this is a total lie. Dana Bash says there’s a “deep divide” among Dems over israel. @KannoYoungs agrees saying it’s a “fissure” in the “Democratic Party” “coalition”
This is empirically false: among actual Dem voters support for Israel is a FRINGE rightwing position
CNN's @kasie on the drama unfolding in the Michigan Senate race: "It's very clear here that politics got personal... ultimately Democrats I'm talking to feel very betrayed by [Haley Stevens] and the decision to do this."

I need people understand that understaffing isn't a bug of where you work, or your manager being a dick, but a feature of a system constantly trying to minimize its biggest cost (labor). Every place I've ever worked it's presented as a perpetually temporary problem. It isn't.

There’s obviously no limit to her cynicism but the roping in black voters, and completely dishonest representation of how the Tucker clip was used, shows how utterly soulless and scripted this mopey Wounded Liberal Feelings routine is. Not a single sincere word in any of this.

FACT CHECK:
Zionism is racism
FACT CHECK:
✅ Local Green groups were given an opportunity to denounce the disgraceful "Zionism is Racism" policy and call on their leadership to do the same.
✅ Several did, and those local arrangements remain in place.
❌ It's disappointing more Green groups didn't feel they could do the same - we continue to call on the Green Party to drop this appalling policy.
✅ Today's action addresses support for this unacceptable policy - which clearly crosses a line. Local power sharing arrangements cannot come at the expense of upholding the moral obligation we have to stand up for everyone in our communities and the values we share.
❌ Today's action was not about whether people can or cannot criticise the actions of the Israeli Government - as the Labour Party repeatedly has.
❌ Any suggestion that today's action was about anything other than the "Zionism is Racism" policy is plain misinformation.
✅ Labour councillors will continue working hard day in, day out for their local communities. That's what we do.

NEW: OpenAI's president gave Trump $25 million. Trump moved to block state AI regulation.
UnitedHealth gave $5 million. Trump doubled their Medicare Advantage pay increase.
It all happens through MAGA Inc. and oligarchs are spending big to defend their cash cow this election.

I’m sorry that your adult social services have broken down, but I hope you understand this is because the Green Party has said a racist ideology is racist.

NEW: Amazon is spending $1 billion to make people okay with data centers in their backyards.
In one Pennsylvania town every resident was offered $10,000, in another landowners were offered millions.
Big Tech can't sneak data centers in any more, so they try to buy people out.

New article on Genoa and October 30:
A union organizer, José Nivoi of CALP said, should not be “a fucking bureaucrat, but a political militant who stands beside the workers. If there are clashes, he’s in the front row. When there’s a strike to declare, he’s the one who declares it. When someone has to get arrested, he gets arrested.” Later, he added, “The real question is, whose side are you on? If you’re on the bosses’ side, stop doing union work.”
