.Sara Nelson and I don't want to let billionaires take off on rockets into outer space while leaving the rest of us on a burning planet. We should be able to live a good life right here. Learn more on today's episode of The Ed Markey Podcast.

As Charles notes, what they’re doing is probably legal, but it’s deeply unethical. Don’t give them money. And Ken Martin, the DNC should tell the folks who are working with these grifters that they’re forfeiting careers in respectable party circles by doing so.

Grateful to Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Economic Policy Institute’s Richard Rothstein, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Union of Southern Service Workers, & Presiding Bishop Michael Curry for early praise of Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II’s WHITE POVERTY.

Hawaii is on the verge of banning Airbnbs.

Hawaii is facing one of the worst housing crises in the U.S. and over half of the state's short-term rentals are owned by people out-of-state.

Two bills to let local governments enact bans just need final votes.

They’ve been without a contract for two years! It’s time for United Airlines to bargain in good faith with their workers!

GUM and LHR kicking off AFA United MEC's Systemwide Day of Action! Flight Attendants and allies will be picketing at 14 bases across the system demanding a fair contract! Let's Get Loud! #1u #WhateverItTakes #ContractNow

Who is behind the $600,000 of dark money coming into this race to stop me? AIPAC is funded by anti-choice, pro-Trump Republican billionaires. AIPAC doesn't represent MD-03 values. And we won't let Trump donors use dark money to pick our nominee.

4.11.24 DOA - Hearing London LOUD & clear! #ContractNow #CorporateGreedDoesntFly #PayUsOrChaos #1u #Solidarity

Why is AIPAC dropping $600,000 into the MD-03 primary? To stop me. I'm still the only candidate in this race to call for a permanent humanitarian ceasefire. In Congress, I'll demand that we hold ALL of our allies accountable to the law if they want US aid. huffpost.com/entry/aipac-ha…

We applaud Peter DeFazio for this insightful opinion piece and his advocacy to close the public charter loophole. Doing so would be a significant step forward and guarantee one level of safety and security for passengers, crew, and the U.S. air system. bit.ly/49whFpC

At TSA, we do not tolerate any behavior that risks the security of a commercial airliner. Passengers who engage in unruly behavior at the checkpoint or inflight may face substantial penalties and possible prosecution on criminal charges. The FAA ✈️ has more: faa.gov/unruly

Great piece from Harold Meyerson on how the UAW is using a German law upholding the right to form trade unions as part of its Mercedes campaign. Mercedes could be on the hook for 2 percent of annual revenue, a much stronger penalty than NLRB violations:
