Air travel is the backbone of the U.S. economy.

When #TSA staffing collapses — because workers can’t afford to work without pay the entire system is at risk.

Funding federal workers isn’t politics. It’s basic national stability.

#AFGE VICTORY!!!

A news-style graphic with the headline: "Court Delivers Blow to Trump Admin's VA Union Busting" dated March 13, 2026. The text describes a court decision in Rhode Island reinstating the collective bargaining agreement for over 320,000 Department of Veterans Affairs workers, which was ended by the Trump administration. It highlights the importance of the agreement for nurses, therapists, and other essential workers. The bottom features the logo for Common Defense.

A text image with a quote against a blue background, featuring faint flag elements. The quote discusses the impact of attacks on the system that veterans depend on, mentioned by Naveed Shah, Political Director of Common Defense. It highlights issues like mental health clinician departures at the VA, increased wait times for veterans, and the importance of collective bargaining for VA employees. The text suggests these challenges have been exacerbated since Trump's presidency, affecting veterans' services.

Dark blue background with white text: "This ruling is an important step toward restoring those protections. But the larger fight remains the same: ensuring the VA is properly staffed, properly funded, and empowered to provide the world‑class care veterans deserve." Below the text is the logo of Common Defense with an American flag design.

The U.S. District Court of Rhode Island has reinstated the collective bargaining agreement for 320,000+ VA workers.

This reverses a major attack on the federal workforce and ensures those caring for our veterans have a voice.

Solidarity with our union partners at #AFGE!

Court Orders Restoration of AFGE Veterans Affairs Collective Bargaining Agreement AFGE Applauds Judge’s Decision Ordering VA Secretary Doug Collins to restore AFGE National VA Council contract covering more than 320,000 employees.

HUGE WIN FOR #AFGE! An injunction was granted restoring the union contract for VA employees while the suit against the E/O plays out. The judge's opinion, if I'm understanding correctly, is that the suit to get it fully reinstated will likely be successful & is why the injunction was granted.

The GOP DID THIS!

Noem, top DHS officials to be deposed in FEMA staffing cut lawsuit | Federal News Network The order comes after a DoJ lawyer contradicted a top FEMA official’s statement about whether DHS made the final call on staffing cuts.

Judge #SusanIllston orders that #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem & #KarenEvans to be deposed as part of the #AFGE lawsuit over Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employees ( #CORE). staffing cuts at #FEMA.

DOJ contradicts FEMA on who approved mass firings "I don't have a great explanation for that," a DOJ lawyer says when asked to clarify in court.

Who made the decision not to renew the 1000 #FEMA #CORE staff matters because #AFGE, the union representing the workers, is arguing that #PKEMRA bars #DHS from making personnel decisions that would reshape FEMA’s mission & functions.
