Labor Day was a busy day for Biden, Harris and Walz. They were as usual doing the People’s work and showing support for Labor around the nation. As for trump, he was stewing somewhere on social media whining and flinging poo.

Here are some snippets from the speeches today, many posted by Aaron Rupar and Kamala HQ on twitter.
Joe Biden:
Remember Trump for four years promised every month, 'infrastructure week'? He didn't build a damn thing.
Do you think Donald Trump gives a damn about your pensions? Do you think he cares about all the work you do every day? Hell, he’d rather cross a picket line than walk one. Well, I have no problem walking the picket line and nor does Kamala.
Remember all the talk -- 'Biden got elected, he's gonna do a planned economy, we're gonna collapse' -- c'mon man!
Kamala and I are damn proud to have protected the pensions of over a million union workers and retirees when I signed the Butch Lewis Act. That’s over 52,000 workers and retirees across Pennsylvania.
If you elect Kamala Harris, it will be the best decision you will ever make.
Kamala Harris:
Joe Biden has always stood with the workers of America and the labor unions of America. Always ... Joe Biden has been one of the most transformative presidents.
That's the stuff they're pushing -- that the measure of a strength of a leader is based on who you beat down, when we know the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up.
Donald Trump wants to impose what is, in effect, a national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessities. It would cost a typical family nearly $4,000 a year.
I agree with President Biden. U.S. Steel should remain American-owned and American-operated. And when I am President, I will continue to have the backs of America’s steelworkers and all union workers.
SOMEONE IN CROWD: "He's going to jail!"KAMALA HARRIS: "The courts will handle that, and we will handle November.
This will be a tight race until the very end. So let’s not pay too much attention to the polls. As labor knows best, we are running as the underdog, and we have some hard work ahead of us. But we like hard work. Hard work is good work.
Tim Walz was in Milwaukee today. He is a Joy to listen to.
I will say this, Donald Trump does know one thing about working people. He knows how to take advantage of them!
Republicans have told us exactly what they're going to do in Project 2025. They want to allow employers to cut overtime pay. They’re even going after the 40-hour work week. Somebody said ‘What's next, child labor?’ Hell, yeah, it's in there. You see states already doing that.
Vice President Harris and myself believe, and everyone here believes, you should be here to make your own health care decisions — not politicians.
We know exactly who built this country. It was labor that built this country. When unions are strong, America is strong.
They said, 'Tim is in the pocket of organized labor.' I said, 'That's a damn lie. I am the pocket.’ If you want to attack me for standing up for collective bargaining for fair wages, for safe working conditions, for health care and retirement, you roll the damn dice. I'll take my chances on that.
These appearances are important to shore up the Blue Wall and to emphasize that Democrats always have and always will stand with workers and unions. Please share these messages among your friends and social circle. The more people get to know Harris and Walz, the more likely they are to turn out and vote for them.
