I have said it before, and it has never been more true. The labor movement is the last line of defense against the erosion of America’s middle class.

Kash Patel spent 10 months investigating a seashell photo before making an arrest.
He has spent more than a year refusing to arrest a single Epstein client named in the files.
That is the choice. That is the priority.

Nobody voted for this.
60+ days of unauthorized war in Iran. Peace talks stalled. Costs rising for every American family.
Voters asked for lower costs and better wages.
The president delivered a war nobody asked for and a bill nobody can afford.

This May Day, do not just honor the sacrifices of those who came before. Stand with workers.
The middle class does not defend itself.
That fight is not history.
It is happening right now, in warehouses and classrooms, on picket lines and shop floors, against an administration determined to gut the protections generations fought for.
The 40-hour week. The weekend. Safe workplaces. A living wage. None of it was given. All of it was won, by workers who organized, marched, and refused to back down.

This is your reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Today, Pete Hegseth told the Senate Armed Services Committee that “the 60-day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire” and therefore the Iran War is not subject to Congressional authorization.
Here’s why he’s flat wrong:

60 days.
That is how long American forces have been at war with Iran without authorization from the United States Congress.
Today, the clock written into the 1973 War Powers Resolution runs out.
Tomorrow, this war becomes flatly illegal.
Susan Collins crossed the aisle today and said the 60-day clock is “not a suggestion. It is a requirement.”
Pete Hegseth does not get to rewrite the law because following it is inconvenient.
The clock does not pause.
Tomorrow is the deadline.

In the decades since this law was written, no president of either party has ever tried this argument.
Not Reagan, either Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden, or even Trump in his first term.
Hegseth made it up because the deadline is tomorrow and he’s looking for an easy way out.
The War Powers Resolution says the President has 60 calendar days to get approval from Congress or end the fighting.
The U.S. Navy is blockading Iranian ports right now. You cannot claim the fighting is “paused” while American warships are stopping Iranian ships by force. Both things can't be true.
Today, Pete Hegseth told the Senate Armed Services Committee that “the 60-day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire” and therefore the Iran War is not subject to Congressional authorization.
Here’s why he’s flat wrong:
The President started an unauthorized war with Iran, and Eric Trump just landed a $24 million Defense Department deal. And a company in Don Jr.’s portfolio just secured a $620 million Pentagon loan.
Maybe it’s a coincidence.
More likely it’s corruption.
This is your reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
DOGE was supposed to slash waste. Independent audits found the receipts were cooked. Not one American got a dollar back.
Meanwhile, bills are up across the board.
And House Republicans? Looking the other way while waste, fraud, and abuse run wild in Washington.
Powell got prosecuted for transparent spending. Trump gets a blank check, anonymous donors, foreign steel, tariff favors, and now your tax dollars too.
