Workers Rights and Another OK City Bomb Plot?

The Teamsters Union marched on the state capitol to deliver more than 300,000 signatures calling for a vote to repeal SB 19, the state's right-to-work law championed by Republican Gov. Eric Greitens.

I am grateful for the service of state and federal law enforcement who not only foiled the attempted terrorist, but did so without putting the community at risk.

“I also appreciate the concerned citizens who exemplified the Oklahoma Standard—looking out for their community by sharing concerns about the alleged perpetrator. It is only by working together as a community that we can continue to prevent future instances of domestic terrorism and extremism."

I don't remember seeing this on the news.
