Donald Trump claims he’s “pro-worker.” But his record shows the opposite.

This Labor Day, we expose Trump’s worker hypocrisy and his anti-labor record:

– Tried cutting $2B from Job Corps, a program helping at-risk youth find stable jobs

– Eliminated $400M in senior job training, leaving older Americans behind

– Signed an executive order stripping 1M federal workers of collective bargaining rights

– Shut down coal miner health clinics, ending black lung screenings for workers

Trump hangs his face on the Department of Labor while gutting the very programs that protect America’s workers. His presidency is one of the most anti-worker in modern history — and working people deserve to know the truth.

Gavin Newsom has figured out how to beat Donald Trump at his own game — by trolling him online, using social media to expose MAGA’s weaknesses, and flipping Trump’s own playbook back on him. It’s not just entertaining — it’s a strategy Democrats can use to win.

• Why social media is now central to political warfare
• What Democrats must learn if they want to fight back

But that’s not all. We also dig into:

• Trump’s lies about mail-in ballots — and the facts that prove him wrong
• His radical plan to redefine who counts as “American” — from citizenship tests to MAGA influencers declaring cities like New York “not American” anymore

This isn’t just about politics as usual. It’s about the fight for truth, democracy, and who gets to belong in America.

• What it means to serve as an independent
