Most MMT critiques are not rooted in evidence, they simply dismiss MMT because they cannot incorporate it into underlying assumptions they are unwilling to reconsider. These are often recited as religious mantras. >
Senate Republicans blocked millions of workers, including Flight Attendants, from "No Tax on Overtime Wages." We joined unions to call on Congress to correct the tax code on overtime wages to include airline, motorcoach, railroad, trucking, delivery, emergency response & others!
The #BetterInAUnion bus tour was in Atlanta today to support @IAM_union, @AFA_CWA, @SEIU and @UNITEHERE workers and as they organize their workplaces at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. America’s unions are ready to fight for workers’ anywhere.
The #BetterInAUnion bus tour was in Atlanta today to support @IAM_Union, @AFA_CWA, @UNITEHERE and @SEIU workers at the Atlanta Airport. It was an honor to meet them and hear their stories about what inspired them to organize a union. The entire labor movement has their back.
.@delta workers are organizing for our union! @AFLCIO President @LizShuler met up with @DeltaAFA Flight Attendants and @IAM_DeltaRamp to get the latest on our historic campaign. ✊✈️ #OrganizeAndFlyTogether
Roughly 12 million Americans are expected to lose their health insurance over the next decade—and now they'll get to watch their credit scores collapse too. This country is a machine for manufacturing needless suffering.

Today, @delta agreed to pay an $8.1 million settlement to resolve allegations that it violated the agreements of the Payroll Support Program – the Workers First COVID relief program that continued paychecks for aviation workers & capped exec. compensation. justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr/d…
Surveillance pricing is here and it's raising prices for already struggling Americans. TOMORROW: Join @LeeHepner & @nhegde alongside @GraceGedye of @CRAdvocacy, @owenslindsay1 of @Groundwork, & Amber Parrish of @UFCW as we discuss w/ lawmakers how to take on surveillance pricing
BREAKING: Dr. Jonathan Caravello, a U.S. citizen and @CFA_United member, has been released from federal custody after days of unjust detention. This is a victory, but it never should’ve happened! We must #EndRaids and free all those unjustly detained.
Our race against billionaire Pete Ricketts represents the fundamental battle happening in America right now: The Billionaire Class vs. The Working Class. Let's show Ricketts & the rest of the country that the billionaires will no longer control our lives.secure.actblue.com/donate/danosbo…
10 years ago today, Sandra Bland was killed. Say her name. Rest in Power, soror 💙💛🐩
In a bad election cycle in 2024, Dan Osborn was probably the best story. A working class candidate who led his workers at Kellogg's on strike; ran an outsider effort to win in Nebraska; and was the strongest Senate candidate overperformer against Harris' baseline.
🚨MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Ok. You've all convinced me. I'm in. I'm running for Senate against billionaire Pete Ricketts In Nebraska. This race represents the foundational battle taking place in America right now: The Billionaire Class vs. The Working Class Who's with me?
It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the @afscme33 city workers’ strike in Philly, now in week two. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country. Hell, I’ll write about it! Email me!
Members of the House and Senate who voted to pass Trump’s budget should be ashamed of themselves. The budget is a giveaway to their billionaire backers & an insult to workers. cwa-union.org/news/releases/…

Here’s a short guide if you’re talking to family and friends this weekend about the GOP budget bill. 1/
🚨HOUSE PASSES RECONCILIATION BILL, HEADS TO W.H. FOR TRUMP'S SIGNATURE VOTE WAS 218-214 GOP NO VOTES: FITZPATRICK MASSIE
Took me a few days to get back out for a run in @prospect_park. Muscles a little stiff, but soul restored as usual. Sappy as it is, somehow every time I still feel verklempt w/gratitude for Olmsted & Vaux & @NYCParks & the Alliance & the fact that we can do things like this. 🤷🏻♂️
URGENT ACTION: The U.S. Senate is about to vote to ban states from creating or enforcing A.I. protections. Call on your senators NOW and demand they remove this provision from the budget bill: 833-770-1697
🚨🚨 17 *Republican* governors ask Congress to remove the AI moratorium from the GOP megabill. "There is one small portion of it that threatens to undo all the work states have done to protect our citizens from the misuse of artificial intelligence." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2598…
Mamdani won. The establishment is in panic. Billionaires are raising money against him; Trump is ranting; Islamophobes are on the loose. They know what we know: Candidates who stand boldly with the working class can win not only in NYC, but anywhere. Let's stand with Zohran.
We won an Emmy tonight. Incredible team at @MorePerfectUS. Appreciate the recognition and looking forward to doing even more to stand with America's working class in the years to come
