NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO IT: Bill to Strip DSA of Party Rights Picks Up Steam in DC. “If enacted, the effort from Reps. Rich McCormick and Clay Fuller of Georgia would mirror the Communist Control Act of 1954, signed into law by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, by denying the DSA legal rights and privileges.”

TOO GOOD TO CHECK: Embarrassing blow for Barack Obama as workers at his ‘Death Star’ presidential center are already so fed up they’re leaving in droves… as stern letter is released.

Barack Obama is facing a fresh humiliation at his ‘eyesore’ presidential center with workers slamming the project’s bosses and moving to unionize just months after it opened.

In a letter to colleagues this week, staff at the Chicago library said they were organizing a union due to the institute’s ‘increasing workloads’ and benefit rollbacks.

Workers have grown frustrated with leadership at Obama’s foundation after their concerns were met with ‘vague responses,’ according to the letter, first shared by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Issues with workloads and benefits have led to a ‘high turnover rate’ among employees, with many more ‘continuing to leave (and) taking with them their institutional knowledge and expertise,’ the letter claimed.

Workers say they were recently told that their healthcare costs would increase, promotions were suspended, and paid time off was reduced, despite also learning they would get no pay increases this winter.

Luke Gilday, an Obama Foundation employee and member of the union organizing committee, told the Sun-Times that workers decided to unionize because they ‘don’t even have a seat at the table.’

‘What we’re hoping for, and really the reason why we’re forming our union, is just because we believe we should have a say in the decisions that are being made that impact all of our lives,’ Gilday said.

It comes after Obama’s presidential center was criticized for its unaesthetic, ‘death star’ design when it opened to the public in June.

To be fair, if you know you’re going to be reporting to work in a flak tower, you’ve got to know going in that your working conditions are going to be chaotic and dangerous. Still though, just imagine how much the new building will contribute to the festive holiday season in Chiraq:

MORE NUKES IS GOOD NUKES: Google signs nuclear power deal with Constellation Energy. “Constellation will add that capacity by upgrading more than 11 existing plants in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The work, known as uprating, improves turbines and digital control systems to extract more output from reactors that already run. Constellation expects to spend $4.3 billion and plans to bring its first upgraded reactor online in 2028. The remaining 2,700 megawatts come from sources the company has not named.”
