The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) said it has filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk, alleging the two attempted to “threaten and intimidate workers.” “The UAW has filed federal labor charges against disgraced billionaires Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their illegal attempts to threaten and intimidate workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes,” UAW stated.

When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “Both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It’s disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns,” he added. X users criticized UAW in the comments section of its post: As a UAW member this is ridiculous. — Justin (@gore_gorejr) August 13, 2024 There is NOTHING disgraceful about either of those 2 men, shame on you! — Mrs. Costa 's America (@syr3n45) August 13, 2024 You all are the disgraced ones. And you’re just butthurt crybabies that Elon’s company is beating the pants off UAW car makers. Morons. — n0kx (@n0kx_) August 13, 2024 You people are disgusting. If Harris gets in, you can be sure the UAW will end – gasoline powered cars will be banned, automotive manufacturing plants dismantled, and your workers will be out of jobs. There will be no need for you! Oh, and are you now in the job of election… — Myfrustration (@CarolNicke35019) August 13, 2024 Per Reuters: Under federal law, workers cannot be fired for going on strike, and threatening to do so is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act, the UAW said in a statement. It is unclear whether the NLRB would take action against Trump for his comments, but the UAW jumped on his remarks as it continues to rally behind Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris and encourage its nearly 400,000 workers to vote for her over Trump, especially in battleground states like Michigan that could determine who wins the White House in November. The UAW endorsed Harris at the end of July. UAW President Shawn Fain and Trump have exchanged barbs in the past. “This is nothing more than a political HIT JOB on behalf of the Kamala Harris campaign,” journalist Nick Sortor commented. #BREAKING: The UAW Union has announced they’ve filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and @elonmusk after their Space last night This is nothing more than a political HIT JOB on behalf of the Kamala Harris campaign.

The charges claim the former president and the Tesla CEO had “interfered with, restrained or coerced employees” who were exercising their right to organize against the company, “suggesting he would fire employees engaged in protected concerted activity, including striking.” UAW president Shawn Fain, a harsh Trump critic, has previously called Trump a “scab.” He praised President Joe Biden for joining a picket line last year when the UAW struck General Motors, Ford and Stellantis all at once. And Fain has repeatedly singled out Tesla, the largest non-union American automaker, as a target for the union’s organizing efforts.

A pro-Trump super PAC intends to spend $100 million in ads between now and Labor Day to boost momentum for President Trump. The announcement precedes next week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. The ad blitz will target multiple battleground states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina. New: Pro-Trump super PAC plans $100 million ad blitz. The ad blitz will start during the week of the DNC Convention. The ads will focus on Harris record on immigration and soft on crime.

The commercials will air in seven Rust Belt and Sun Belt states that are likely to determine the outcome of the election. Republicans have spent several weeks scrambling to undercut Vice President Kamala Harris, who entered the race last month after President Joe Biden withdrew. The super PAC’s ads will focus on defining Harris as a “soft-on-crime radical who is too dangerous for the White House,” the organization’s top strategists, David Lee and Chris Grant, write in the memo. “Americans might vote for a liberal, but they won’t vote for a lunatic.” The group’s attack — which will coincide with the start of next week’s Democratic National Convention — focuses on Harris’ immigration policies and her past record as a prosecutor, according to a person familiar with the super PAC’s plans who was granted anonymity to describe them.

MAGA Inc. has already run $111.6 million in pro-Trump advertising since the start of 2023 through Monday, including on digital ads. The super PAC played an instrumental role in Trump’s paid messaging during both the primary and the past summer months when the Trump campaign was mostly off the air.

Arizona state officials confirmed on Monday that a proposal seeking to make abortion a “fundamental right” easily cleared the signature threshold for ballot placement, meaning voters will decide whether to add abortion protections to the state constitution in the November general election. The Arizona Abortion Access Act received nearly 578,000 signatures, according to state officials, which was around 50% more than the 383,923 signatures required, local media reported. The state’s Republican-controlled legislature voted earlier this year to repeal a near-total abortion ban after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that it could go into effect. Under current state law, abortion is outlawed after 15 weeks. If approved by voters, the Arizona Abortion Access Act would make abortions legal up until 24 weeks, an arbitrary point in time that doctors use to determine when an unborn baby has reached the point of viability. However, some babies as young as 22 weeks have also survived outside the womb thanks to advances in medical technology. Pro-abortion activists cheered the proposal making it onto the November ballot. Arizona for Abortion Access campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said, “This is a huge win for Arizona voters who will now get to vote YES on restoring and protecting the right to access abortion care, free from political interference, once and for all.” The proposal will appear on the November ballot as Proposition 139. Pro-life advocates argue that if passed, Prop 139 will push Arizona closer to unregulated abortion and make the state one of the most radical pro-abortion states in the U.S. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Abortion remains a top issue for Democratic candidates heading into the 2024 election. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have sought to energize their base on the issue of abortion, promising they will “fight for a woman’s right to choose” and attacking former President Donald Trump for appointing three justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade. Only around one in eight voters list abortion as the top issue in the 2024 election, according to KFF polling conducted earlier this year, The Washington Post reported. Trump said last week at his Mar-a-Lago press conference that he doesn’t think abortion will have much of an effect on the upcoming election. “I think that abortion has become much less of an issue. It’s a very I think it’s actually going to be very small issue,” he said, adding, “I think the abortion issue has been taken down many notches. I don’t think it’s a big factor anymore, really.” Even if abortion remains a minor issue for most voters, Democrats welcome the addition of Prop 139 to the ballot in Arizona, a vital battleground state. Trump currently leads in the polls in Arizona by 1.5 points, according to RealClearPolitics, but the race has become closer since Harris took over as the Democrats’ nominee.

Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) explained in an interview with The Daily Wire why he supports cryptocurrency, and how the Democratic Party could threaten its success if Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats win in November. “If we don’t see the next generation of innovation occurring here in America, if we push it offshore, someone else will hold a competitive advantage,” Hagerty said. “The United States of America has been the hub of innovation. That’s been a huge source of our success. We should not shove it offshore.” Hagerty, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, told The Daily Wire he is concerned that the crypto industry could be pushed overseas by the Democratic Party’s policies. “The Democrats, I think, are most resistant to this because of its decentralized nature,” the senator said. “What they’re pushing is a centralized digital currency, a CBDC, a central bank digital currency, which they could issue, and by having it centralized by custody, by not allowing us to have our own custody they could, in essence, track, monitor and control our transactions.” “That is the last thing we want to see happen here in America,” Hagerty said. Democrats oppose cryptocurrency because it offers consumers a freedom not granted by central currency, Hagerty said. “I think whether you’re Democrat, Independent, or Republican, you inherently want freedom. You inherently seek freedom in liberty and opportunity,” he said. “Central Bank digital currency cuts in the exact opposite direction. We have a class and a bureaucratic class in Washington that has a very different view.” Hagerty told The Daily Wire that he hopes to “make America an attractive place for this industry to thrive,” adding that “there’s a huge difference between the two parties, and frankly, I think in November, the success or failure of this industry is on the ballot.” The senator’s statements come after former President Donald Trump embraced the industry and spoke at Nashville, Tennessee’s Bitcoin conference in July. “If we don’t embrace crypto and Bitcoin technology, China will, other countries will, they’ll dominate, and we cannot let China dominate,” Trump told the crowd. “If Bitcoin is going to the moon, as we say, it’s going to the moon, I want America to be the nation that leads the way.” Cryptocurrency holders have become increasingly politically mobilized this year, with companies from the industry preparing $160 million to back candidates who support the industry. Hagerty also spoke at the Bitcoin conference, as did Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Cynthia Lumis (R-WY), and Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA).
