Boston.com | ‘May Day Strong’ comes to Boston Friday: What it is and where protests are planned by Autumn Sloboda

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

‘May Day Strong,’ a nationwide day of “no work, no school, no shopping” on Friday, May 1, is being organized by a coalition of labor unions, educators, immigrant‑rights, climate and pro‑democracy groups to showcase economic power and demand “workers over billionaires.” The movement, which aims to disrupt business as usual, calls for three core demands—tax the rich, end ICE and war, and expand democratic control over corporate power—and expects more than 3,500 actions across the country, ranging from street protests and teach‑ins to school walk‑outs. In Massachusetts, the effort dovetails with federal proposals such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s Ultra‑Millionaire Tax Act and Sen. Ed Markey’s Equal Tax Act, while local organizations—including the Boston Democratic Socialists of America, Massachusetts Teachers Association and various labor federations—have endorsed the shutdown. Around Greater Boston, dozens of events are scheduled on May 1, from a main rally on Boston Common to campus actions at MassArt and Simmons University, walk‑outs at public schools in Bedford, Braintree and Belmont, and stand‑outs and justice rallies in Cambridge, Brookline, Lowell, Lynn and many other towns, giving participants multiple options to join the coordinated protest.

Salon.com | Trump wants do-over of failed airline fantasy — at taxpayers’ expense by Heather Digby Parton

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Donald Trump is proposing a taxpayer‑funded takeover of Spirit Airlines, which is facing bankruptcy and a possible $500 million government bailout, echoing his earlier, failed venture with the Trump Shuttle airline in the early 1990s that collapsed amid high fuel costs and a weakening corporate market. Critics from both parties—including Senators Tom Cotton, Ted Budd, Elizabeth Warren, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—argue that Spirit is unsalvageable and that using public money to prop up a struggling private carrier would repeat past mistakes of bailouts that benefited executives rather than the public. The commentary frames the plan as another example of Trump’s “right‑wing‑socialism” approach of privatizing the state while socializing private losses, warning that such a move would add to the nation’s mounting economic challenges and could result in a taxpayer‑burdened “national joke” airline.

The New Republic | Leavitt Admits Trump Is Trying to Fool Rebel GOP Senator on Fed by Edith Olmsted

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Senator Thom Tillis, a member of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, says he will not support President Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, until the Justice Department’s probe into current Fed Chair Jerome Powell is fully ended; although the DOJ announced Friday that it had dropped the investigation tied to the Fed’s Washington‑headquarters renovation, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt countered that the case has merely been transferred to the inspector‑general and remains active, framing the continuation as a presidential priority, while Tillis maintains he will use his single “no” vote to block Warsh’s confirmation despite Democrats already opposing the nominee.

The New Republic | Elizabeth Warren Warns Trump’s Plot to Take Over Fed Isn’t Finished by Malcolm Ferguson

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that the Justice Department’s decision to drop its investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is not a triumph for the Trump administration but a tactical maneuver to clear the way for Trump’s preferred successor, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh. Warren argued the move is meant to “clear the path” for Senate Republicans to install Warsh—whom she called a “sock‑puppet”—and noted that Republican Senator Thom Tillis has already refused to confirm Warsh until the legal matter is resolved. She criticized the DOJ for threatening to revive a “bogus” probe of Powell while abandoning a baseless case against a Fed governor, and urged the Senate to reject Warsh’s nomination, saying any belief that Trump’s scheme to control the Fed is over is “fooling themselves.”
