President Joe Biden came into the White House intent on being "the most pro-union president leading the most pro-union administration in American history." Four years later, he has shown a lot of progress.

The plan is to get rid of overtime pay by allowing employers to use 160-hour months...run you in overtime...then take hours away later in the month. It's in Project 2025. Don't believe his BS about taxes. A tax cut on overtime doesn't matter if you're never paid for overtime. Trump literally admits to refusing to pay OT to his employees, here.

The party of the working class ladies and gents.

And that weasel word is "experts".

Last night JD Vance repeatedly blamed "experts" for American jobs being sent to China.

He was in diapers back then so let this old man set him straight.

Vance didn't say which "experts" he had in mind. Given the context, he probably meant economists. But he didn't say so I'll use his word. Right wingers love to blame nameless faceless "experts" for all sorts of societal ills.

The problem is there aren't any "experts" in our society who have the authority to decide where private sector jobs are located. Corporations sent those jobs overseas.

Which means rich people did that. The rich people who own and manage the corporations cited the "experts" (economists) who said what they wanted to hear when they paid politicians to change the laws so that the rich people could do what they wanted. And you guessed it, the work done by those "experts" (economists) was funded by the rich people who wanted to send jobs overseas.

Behind every weasel (JD Vance) blaming the "experts" is a rich person (Peter Thiel) avoiding accountability.

Costco rejected or refused to accept nearly all Teamsters’ proposals, including critical language on seniority, inclement weather, paid family leave, bereavement policies, sick time, and safeguards against surveillance. By dismissing approximately 98 percent of the proposed provisions, the wholesale giant has signaled a troubling unwillingness to bargain in good faith and is taking an aggressive anti-union stance.

Republicans are threatening to defund critical agencies and groups. President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten joins The Weekend to discuss Trump’s controversial education department pick.

This is for all the idiot union MAGA people. Be careful what you wish for.
