Vice President Kamala Harris paid tribute Monday to labor unions, saying they had helped "build America" and deserve credit for an array of protections that benefit all workers. Former president Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), have no advertised events on Monday.
Kamala Harris told the crowd that they'd "better thank a union member" for the worker protections won for the American labor force since 1926 - the five-day work week, sick leave, paid leave and vacation time, she said.What a perfect metaphor today's contrast between campaigns presents. One campaign rolls up its sleeves and goes to work - facing energetic crowds in multiple states - praising the virtues of hard work and fair pay. While the other campaign head sits in a golf cart at the country club he owns, launching vicious, lying posts on his failing social media site, in between likely cheating against his golfing partners as he's been thoroughly documented as doing.
"The way we celebrate Labor Day is we know that hard work is good work. We know that when we organize, when we bring everyone together, it's a joyful moment where we are committed to doing the hard work of lifting up America's families," she said.
Harris later added that "on Labor Day, and every day, we celebrate the dignity of work ... We celebrate unions because unions helped build America and unions help build America's middle class."
Harris campaign spokesperson Joseph Costello said in a statement that Trump "is ditching workers on Labor Day because he is an anti-worker, anti-union extremist who will sell out working families for his billionaire donors if he takes power."
@#24 ... Trump doesn't pretend to have an accent. Just how fake does Kamala have to be to do that? ...

Lyrics excerpt...
...
Commit an act of memory
Knuckle down or buckle under
Sing part of the scream, believe
Cut it down in the mouth of drama
Another break in the pattern
Another fight for the flashlight
Tick tock on a broken clock
I'll be headed for midnight
Insinuation really makes it happen
And your opinion is a nice surprise
