Labor leader calls Ryan Crosswell a ‘union buster’ over employment history Ryan Crosswell promises to be pro-worker if elected to Congress, but labor leaders have been uneasy about his former employment at an aggressive anti-union firm since he entered the race.

Ryan Crosswell worked for one of the country's largest union-avoidance law firms before becoming a DOJ employee.

The president of the Lehigh Valley AFL-CIO called Crosswell a "union buster" at an event this past weekend.

This is the latest example in his belief of the fringe great replacement theory.

This right here.

There were others looking to run for Senate, like the owner of Maine Brewing Company, but they allowed Schumer and the SDCC to clear the field for an 80-year old, first-time Senate candidate.

This race could have been more competitive if others decided not to jump ship for Mills

everyone can spend their time getting mad at Platner or Platner voters but imo the story is conventional Dems being a) too old and b) unwilling to project the willingness to fight

what that did was create a vacuum and Platner walked right up and said “don’t mind if I do” because Dems didn’t respond

Picking an 80-year old geriatric to be a freshman senator seems like it backfiring a bit.

Right?

Houlahan says it’s easier working with McCormick than Fetterman Members of US Sen. John Fetterman’s own party continue to criticize him following his vote for Mullin as DHS secretary.

US House Rep. Chrissy Houlahan told a room full of Harrisburg area Democrats that she has an easier time working with Dave McCormick's office than John Fetterman's office.

She's not the first to say it, but the first to say it publicly.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

They ran an 80 year old candidate less than two years after Biden screwed the party.

It's like they were giving it to her because it's her time regardless of how little time she has left
