The Internal Revenue Service is bigger and better than ever, with $80 billion in new funding and 80,000 new agents to scour through and scrutinize the tax returns of every day Americans.
Now, the union which represents the IRS employees is thanking Vice President Kamala Harris for her service and contribution in the form of an official endorsement.
In September 2024, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) threw its support behind Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. This endorsement, announced by NTEU President Doreen Greenwald, highlighted Harris’s consistent advocacy for federal employees and her commitment to workers’ rights throughout her career.
As the largest union representing IRS and other federal employees, the NTEU’s endorsement was largely driven by Harris’s role in advancing pro-labor policies during her time as Vice President, including spearheading the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment. This task force improved organizing efforts and expanded workers’ rights, especially within federal agencies like the IRS.
Greenwald praised Harris for her strong support of fair pay, family leave, and funding for federal agencies, specifically citing her role in rebuilding the IRS under the Inflation Reduction Act. She also noted Harris’s commitment to passing the 2024 bipartisan border bill and securing staffing for key agencies like Customs and Border Protection.
The NTEU’s endorsement was also extended to Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota and a long-time labor advocate. Both Harris and Walz have strong records of supporting unions and advancing policies that aim to empower workers.
For the union, electing Harris and Walz represents a continuation of policies that ensure federal employees are respected and given the resources they need to effectively serve the public. This endorsement is a significant boost for Harris as she continues her campaign for the presidency.

SCRANTON, PA – This weekend, during a tour of the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Pennsylvania, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude for the artillery shells and other munitions being produced for Ukraine’s defense.
The plant, which manufactures components for 155mm artillery and mortar shells, is playing a key role in supplying Ukraine with vital resources for its ongoing war against Russian aggression.
Zelenskyy praised the dedication of the factory workers, stating that their hard work is helping Ukraine “stand strong” in its fight for freedom.

This visit underscores the deepening military collaboration between the U.S. and Ukraine, as American taxpayer funding continues to support the production of critical weaponry aimed at reinforcing Ukraine’s fight for democracy and sovereignty.
