Kinzinger Report Labor Day special on Trump and the midterms

politicsSep 7, 202630972

Adam Kinzinger released a Labor Day special titled "Special Report: Trump Whiffing on Labor Day, The Midterm Map Comes Into Focus, and What It’s Really Like to Run for Office." Kinzinger argues that President Trump has launched the most sustained assault on organized labor of any modern president, citing a March executive order that removed nearly a million federal workers from collective bargaining and subsequent expansions that recently excluded NASA, NOAA, the National Weather Service, and the Patent and Trademark Office. Kinzinger notes a June order reclassifying career federal employees to permit firing without due process and quotes the American Federation of Government Employees calling it an attempt to corrupt the federal government. Kinzinger says courts have mostly sided with the administration, pointing to a Ninth Circuit ruling in February and a narrower Massachusetts judge decision in June limiting agency control over union elections. He reports roughly 400,000 federal jobs have disappeared since Trump took office and that manufacturing has lost 75,000 jobs during the same period. Despite those losses, Kinzinger highlights that union membership reached a 16 year high this past winter and warns Republicans should be worried by renewed organizing. He also previews analysis of the midterm map, notes the ongoing dispute over federal agents at polling places, and offers candidates practical advice to "remember why you’re running."

How about Vance wanting to dedicate Labor Day to women in labor instead of laborers/workers? How are they so damn stupid

I was just looking at some of Trump’s maniacal rantings and read your “Democrats” as “Dumocrats” as he calls us! My god I try to refrain from ever hearing him speak, my BP can’t handle it, but this is crazy that I “hear” him even in the written word.

Mr. K--After the mid-terms, could you rent yourself out to the congressional committee going after the grift of this awful administration??

"Labor Day holds special significance for Americans this year. In a time of unparalleled economic distress inflicted on working Americans due to the incompetence of the most anti-worker president, organized labor has helped spearhead the fight for economic opportunity and for democracy."

An article in Israel’s Jerusalem Post last week made waves for a provocative suggestion to boost military recruitment numbers to fight the Iran war. In this special Labor Day episode of badlands, I discuss the sheer chutzpah of the suggestion and one aspect of it that hasn’t been widely pointed out.

This Labor Day, in addition to thanking all who work, especially those who organize workers, I’m saying a special prayer of gratitude for my two grandfathers: George (UAW, GM Fairfax Plant) and Ynacio (IBEW, shop steward at Santa Fe Railroad). Thank you for building the foundation for my life. 🙏🏽
