to see a strike. but here is the bottom line. the bottom line is that the american people and workers throughout this country. are profoundly disgusted by the kind of corporate greed that we are seeing. everybody knows billionaires are getting richer, working people are struggling, corporate profits are at an all-time high and they are raising prices to make goods unaffordable for ordinary americans. that s the overall reality. and what you re seeing in the rail industry is the hole phenomena in spades. chris, in the last three quarters of this year alone, the railroad industry made 21 billion dollars in profits, provided $25 million in stock buybacks and dividends, and they are paying their ceos, in some cases, 14 million a year, 10 million a year, 20 billion a year, whatever it may be. meanwhile, for workers on the
the railroad industry made 21 billion dollars in profits, provided $25 million in stock buybacks and dividends, and they are paying their ceos, in some cases, 14 million a year, 10 million a year, 20 billion a year, whatever it may be. meanwhile, for workers on the railroads, they have zero, underlined, zero guaranteed sick leave. here s the story. the reason for it is, in order to increase their profits, over the last six years, chris, they have discharged, and reduce their workforce by 30%. they don t have many workers. you make more money that way when you put unbelievable pressure on your employees. there s lots of vital things like emergency rooms, for example, that fire departments, they re able to manage people calling in sick. it seems like we can figure this out for the railroads as well. senator bernie sanders, thank you very much. thank you. that is all in on this tuesday night, alex wagner tonight starts right now. good evening, alex. senator bernie san de thank yo

colleagues have been asking each other all day. look, we know in the wake of this decision of overturning roe that the enthusiasm and momentum has been shifting more toward democrats. registration much higher among democrats and women in particular. the last thing a lot of republicans wanted to do was to try and nationalize this issue, especially because their line has been including lindsey graham as far back is just two months ago, saying this is an issue for states to decide. so, when lindsey graham puts forth a bill to say all abortions nationally should be banned after 15 weeks, it undercuts that federalist messaging big-time. and it moves the attention where they do not want it to be. graham may be trying to fire up the republican base, the activists who are calling for this. but folks in tough races in the center say you just undercut our argument. and you are elevating the aryan we seem to be weakest on right now. all right, so we will be watching. john avlon, thank you so mu
