Biden appears to show support for Amazon workers who unionized in Staten Island, saying in a speech: “By the way, Amazon, here we come. Watch”
“By the way, Amazon, here we come. Watch,” the president said. But the White House quickly said his remarks did not mean the government would get formally involved.

President Biden is right. “Amazon, here we come.” Let's get every Amazon worker in a union.

Watch your in-box, @WHCOS ! (For those not in on this, senior Amazon executive Jay Carney, who was Biden's communications director for a spell in the Obama administration, has reportedly been emailing Ron Klain with complaints.) https://twitter.com/...

Biden dunking on Amazon is cool but it'd be even cooler if he got congress to actually fully fund the NLRB https://www.epi.org/...

For as much as I criticize Biden, I do appreciate that he takes aim at Amazon for its union-busting ways as opposed to the previous president who took aim at Amazon because he got angry at a Washington Post article. https://twitter.com/...

By contrast, Obama's former press secretary is now a senior executive at Amazon. This kind of rhetoric from Biden is a welcome change coming from the top of the Democratic Party. Progress. https://twitter.com/...

Also notable given that Biden's former communications director Jay Carney is Amazon's sr. VP for policy and press. https://twitter.com/...

It is _fascinating_ in this moment that Amazon's head of policy, Jay Carney, once served in the White House as then-Vice President Biden's comms director. https://twitter.com/...
