How convenient that the meeting, chaired by Soliday from Valpo, will meet in Indy on a Tuesday morning. It should be in the NIPSCO service area at a time working families can attend.

While you never got that $2,000 tariff refund check that Trump promised, here’s who did:
Walmart: $2.9 billion
Apple: $2.2 billion
Nike: $986 million
Amazon: $600 million
GM: $500 million
UPS: $500 million
The Trump Administration: Of, by, and for the billionaire class.
Other oil companies in the United States followed a pattern agreement that the United Steelmakers union negotiated with the industry, but BP decided this year not to follow the contract template it has during recent rounds of negotiations. #BoycottBP

I can’t wait to see this investigation. We must get regular updates as the investigation progresses.
Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission Chairman Anthony Swinger said the state regulatory agency will open an investigation into NIPSCO's response to August's derecho, where many customers went two weeks without power.

“NIPSCO’s prolonged metering failure, decision to conceal it from customers, and refusal to fully refund customers for its mistake is the latest example of its abysmal service and disregard for affordability,” said CAC Program Director Ben Inskeep.

Fiscally responsible policy. Instead we waste billions on needless wars.
$1 trillion in annual savings. 114,000 American lives saved every year. That’s what moving to #MedicareForAll would do, according to the latest study by the Yale School of Public Health & the University of Maryland School of Medicine. What are we waiting for?

Neil Barofsky’s personal support for genocide is irreparably interfering with his duties and he should resign from his position immediately. The UAW deserves an unbiased Monitor, not someone improperly acting on his personal politics.
Detroit News obtained a recording of a call between Shawn Fain and Neil Barofsky, the federal monitor, in which Barofsky criticizes UAW's statement calling for a ceasefire and, among other things, tells Fain to read an NYT column by Bret Stephens. detroitnews.com/story/busine…
The federal government is violating our constitutional rights with impunity! They didn’t jut murder Alex Pretti they killed the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment and 4th Amendment. Pretti was a patriot who cared for our veterans.
They tried to cover it up immediately and the Minneapolis police chief refused. Witnesses have been taken to police headquarters and all available off duty police have been called to work. ICE cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Congress must act now. The Courts must stop the stupid foot dragging. Enough is enough.

He wasn't president of any union, and they don't call him a labor leader in the history books, but the struggle for economic and social justice on and off the job was a core part of the story and the vision of Martin Luther King, Jr. His life serves as an inspiration and a guiding light of the 21st century labor movement.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job.
A billionaire does.

As Zelensky visits the White House and gets bullied again, remember this clip of Marco Rubio explaining the U.S. promised to defend Ukraine FOREVER if they gave up their nukes when the USSR fell.
That’s why Lil Marco hides. He hoped we wouldn’t find it. Don’t share it right now.

"Automation cannot be permitted to become a blind monster which grinds out more cars and simultaneously snuffs out the hopes and lives of the people by whom the industry was built."

🚨NEW: Americans’ support for Medicare For All has intensified to the point where the old attacks may no longer work.
As premiums rise & both parties legislate criticism of socialism, there has been a YUGE shift on a key question that killed off the idea 6 years ago.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family. nytimes.com/2025/11/24/us/vi…
The union difference! Non-union workers stand alone against the whims of corporations. Standing together they can win improvements to their lives and their working conditions. Union Strong! ✊🏼
The Teamsters won a major arbitration victory against Costco. After Costco Teamsters in Virginia filed grievances over violations of the paid sick/personal time provisions of the Costco Teamsters National Master Agreement, an independent arbitrator ruled that the company violated the contract by shortchanging workers.
Under Costco’s so-called “employee agreement,” nonunion workers receive just 80 hours of paid sick time. Teamsters at Costco get 88 hours — and the power to enforce it.
Costco Teamsters represented by Local 822 in Virginia will now receive back pay, have unfair disciplines rescinded, and get the full 88 hours of paid time off guaranteed by their union contract.
When workers have a union at Costco, management doesn’t make the rules — the contract does!

OpenAI is scrambling to say they don't want, or need, a bailout.
But just 10 days ago they sent a letter to the White House asking for things, including "loan guarantees."
The company also wants the government to deploy "grants, cost-sharing agreements, loans" and more.
ALT Expand tax credits that accelerate American manufacturing. The Administration has already taken critical steps to strengthen American manufacturing by extending the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit (AMIC) for semiconductor fabrication. OSTP should now double down on this approach and work with Congress to further extend eligibility to the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain; grid components like transformers and specialized steel for their production; AI server production; and AI data centers. Broadening coverage of the AMIC will lower the effective cost of capital, de-risk early investment, and unlock private capital to help alleviate bottlenecks and accelerate the AI build in the US. Counter the PRC by de-risking US manufacturing expansion. To provide manufacturers with the certainty and capital they need to scale production quickly, the federal government should also deploy grants, cost-sharing agreements, loans, or loan guarantees to expand industrial base capacity and
