Congressional Labor Caucus co-chair Debbie Dingell discusses the caucus’s growth to 129 members, USMCA’s failure to create a level playing field with Mexico, the national security threat of Chinese autonomous vehicles collecting data on American streets, why chaotic tariffs have cost average households $3,500, the need to scrap the Social Security earnings cap before the 2033 funding cliff and her role as a lead House sponsor of Medicare for All — along with the story of her father-in-law John Dingell Sr., who survived tuberculosis and firing for union activity to help write the Social Security Act and stand in the room when Roosevelt signed it.
