Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

  1. the government is still on track to spend more this year than last.

    As we gather with friends and family, let’s also stand together. Labor Day is not only about enjoying a well-earned rest it’s about remembering the struggles and sacrifices that built this holiday in the first place.

  2. Labor Day was from the violence sparked by government against unions. Let’s not forget. The fight continues to this day.

  3. On my last day off- Labor Day - the irony - the deadline to accept my employer forcing 1099 contract no longer W2 w/ benefits. I would have to assume all costs & liabilities while the owners cut is 47% of my labor as a 1099 and they have 0 liability. Buy only necessities. Resist ✌️

  4. Thousands of people stripped of their jobs, after years, working towards a pension. All to give the less than 1% of the wealthiest. Anyone who thinks Trump is for the working class is smoking crack laced with fentynal and washed down with LSD.

  5. Not just saving money but transferring to the already mega wealthy and corporations. ##ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Protect the victims prosecute the offenders.

  6. And yet one of the arguments against reforming health care is that the poor insurance companies will go out of business

  7. They always save money on the backs of the poor. Governor Polis did just that, while they are giving raises of 25-43% to people who don't need it. Rich people should not be able to govern, they have no clue, especially if they were born well off

  8. We're not saving anything. The tariffs are not paying down debt, we're aleady paying for these tariffs with higher prices and increased sales taxes, and i'll bet our federal taxes don't get lowered. With no transparency or accountability, they are going to make us pay for it all.

  9. They didn’t lose their jobs because of a political agenda. Calling it a political agenda is legitimizing it.

    Call it what it is: an attempt to overthrow the whole administration and install a dictatorship. And so far, it’s working. So yeah, the US is a dictatorship.

  10. no surprise the economy is faltering with so many middle class government jobs gone. but I’m told the plan is to send all those folks to go replace the illegal immigrants doing menial labor for minimum wage, so nothing to worry about

  11. And in Texas, which gets more money from the federal govt than the state gives, federal funds are being cut for HHS and workforce agencies. State layoffs are beginning.

  12. They need to gather their experience and get back in the fight. It's hard and I think of them, but there is life after being targeted.

  13. As my employer has announced that our 40 year old company is closing in December because of Trump’s Tariffs, I wonder how many other Americans have lost their jobs because of these tariffs and the instability of our economy that TRUMP has caused!

  14. How many of those jobs could be saved with the $$ spent paving over the rose garden or the ballroom Tfg feels is so necessary to make him look legitimate?

  15. Not as much as Trump thinks. Guess he doesn't know their unemployment is coming out on his watch, his budget. It will be great when he finds that out.

  16. Thats right. A political agenda that at least half the country believes in: That a Gramscian radical left takeover of large parts of the country and its administration have occurred over the last 50 years, and if the country is to be saved this radical left element must be purged.

  17. The irony the president who added 25% of the total deficit in his 1st term. That is the one that conned people into thinking he was going to 'save money'. We have lost billions because of his pardons and billions from fines of the agencies Elon dismantled. 2 billion in fines that Elon avoided

  18. Never about saving money it was about hoarding it…as you can easily read it in Mandate of Leadership

    This is the executive branch taking orders from Heritage…..

  19. And the people who process retirement and termination money were fired too, so people are waiting months for determination of retirement benefits. Oh, and the promise of pay for leaving? That’s not being paid either.

  20. All our lives are being damaged by their mass firings. Dump wants to hide the unemployment he created from Biden’s strong recovering Pandemic economy.

  22. Black women are being targeted for firings and layoffs on the federal level and private sector although they are the most educated group in the U.S. workforce.

  25. My husband was working on a project for the state of Texas that would have modernized their data reporting systems and tracked disease outbreaks (ahem..measels). He was doged and it took 5 months to find a job.

  26. No money being saved….it all in the ICE and Govt., aka slush funds…always has been but more so now! Let follow the money 💰 for that Texas project. 🤔That ‘’redistricting’’ pushed thru greased a few palms ya’ think⁉️

  27. Trump is a master of firing people while still wasting tons of money

    It's why he's always going bankrupt

    His cannibal cult love how much he abuses children

    Trump supporters love pedos and child brides, it's what their voting patterns prove

    That and screwing over veterans, the poor and themselves

  29. Meanwhile, the DOGE kids and Elon are too stupid to understand that Our National Parks not only provide us respite and joy but RAKE aim BILLIONS of dollars per year doing so.

    A poster copy of our State of California flag:  A walking Bear on green turf above the bold lettering, California Republic and a bold, wide, Red stripe under it.  At the very top is says it comes from our Governor Newsom’s Press office.  Below that, is typed in all caps:  Long live the free state of California.

  32. This happens all the time “And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

    But the federal workers were let go so the ultra wealthy would save on their taxes

    BTW tRump benefits from his BBB too. Don’t you wish you could write a bill that would keep more $ in your pocket

  33. Let's hope that the strength and resilience of the diverse peoples of this country hold out long enough to get past, and to undo, the mess created by the hater-in-chief who currently occupies the White House.

  34. And that money wasn’t even saved. Tax cuts gave it to billionaires. It’s redistributing $$ away from working people.

  35. I’m was one of the 10,000 HHS civil servants fired without cause by e-mail on April Fool’s Day.

    Our bureau was clawing back a BILLION dollars of unreported covid relief funds - Trump walked away from that money when he kicked us to the curb.

    The vast majority of us are still looking for work. 🤬

  36. How can we restrict Trump voters from entering National Parks?

    We know they celebrate the National Park Service job losses.

  38. As they literally lie through their teeth about bringing the dignity of work back to the American people. I guess it just depends on the type of work you aspire to do and if you don't mind slave labor being back in style by the end of the year.

  39. I'm really pissed. Bezos obviously doesn't care about workers. It's 100° today and the Amazon driver drove 50 miles to deliver packages for my husband. 🤬💔

  44. Dear Senator,

    Have you resigned from your position? GOP ceded authority for 8 months & still collected paychecks, 401k,Rx & health insurance. Illegal executive orders are not legislation.

    Senate.gov House.gov

    U.S. court finds most of Trump’s tariffs are illegal

    www.npr.org/2025/08/29/n...

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, in Washington, D.C., delayed enforcing its decision, which is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court.

    Most of President Trump's tariffs are illegal, U.S. court rules

  45. All that hullabaloo about Tx State Democrats leaving to avoid Quorum. Meanwhile, Republicans ceded legislative authority to POTUS 4 illegal executive orders. 8 months & still getting paid. GOP refusing their legislative duties. Would your boss pay you?

    Has GOP Congress resigned? Email them & ask.

  46. Under the GUISE of 'saving money.' And he totally ruined the lives of those federal workers. Many who took a gov job to have a life long career and a stable life, and build for retirement. All wiped out. On the whim of a fool president.

  51. And the GOP are going to start by repealing the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act. It’s detailed in Project 2025. If I remember correctly, page 604.

    The Davis-Bacon Act is a US federal law that requires
contractors and subcontractors working on public works projects to pay their laborers and mechanics the locally prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits.
Enacted in 1931, it aims to protect local workers and communities from underbidding by contractors offering lower wages. The act applies to contracts exceeding $2,000 for construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings or public works.

  52. Just think the sheer magnitude of the number of federal workers who were fired by a non American white racist druggie and white republican government. Think of the impact on 300,000 American families. Think of the economic losses happening. 300,000, mainly Union workers losing their jobs. WTF?

  53. I am not a federal employee, but I lost my job, too. This horrific agenda reaches far and wide and will touch all of us before everything is said and done. They're destroying our country, our world, our future and the future of generations to come. #foxtrotdeltatango

  54. Not "saving money." He wants to re-distribute that money to use for his own evil uses. ICE, soldiers in cities armed and facing American Citizens, interfering with the next election and more, and getting another Justice or 500 on the bench like Judge Cannon, who is a girl fan. There's no refunds.

  55. Meanwhile, government spending is out of control this year, all investigations into Musk disappeared, and he’s still subsidized by American taxpayers despite being a fucking billionaire.

    Meanwhile 18-21 year old kids are being charged a mortgage for higher education.

  56. In the name of racism the regime’s spending many millions of dollars a day deporting innocent ppl, including 10-17 yr old CHILDREN! wtf is wrong w/us that we have allowed this? wtf is wrong w/us that ppl can’t understand this WILL GET WORSE EVERY DAY? Remember Nazi Germany? No, I guess we don’t.

  57. Those people lost their jobs for nothing more than the unmanageable cruel thinking of a deranged lunatic. There was no reason for those people to be fired. Streamline government by stopping the money that goes to corporations. Make corporations and millionaires pay their fair share.

  59. Saving money that gets spent on illegally detaining people (often citizens) and deporting people to countries that are not their origin, deploying national guard to cities to pick up trash, rolling out a red carpet for a dictator, building a ballroom at the White House…

  60. And while they claim to be saving us money 1-3 years from now we will be left with lots of debt and NO services. If the senate and house flip by enough votes to counter a veto there’s a chance we can right this ship . Prepare Stand up Do your part

  61. This will ultimately cost much more than the salaries saved.

    Institutional knowledge lost, research down the drain, death and illness that could have been prevented, and ultimately the cost of restarting lost positions.

    The Reps will then scream about the Dem waste. And many voters will buy it!

  62. Trump overseeing a massive intrusive, unnecessary fascist illegal invasion of personal information, coupled with stupid democracy destroying Executive Odors and policies! This must be resisted, opposed, blocked by every state, every voter.
