Our friends at the Transport Workers (TWU) have taken a light-hearted video look at rather serious subject: how Republicans might use their new found congressional strength and powers.

The black-and-white mid-century newsreel/educational film style is complete with deep voiced narrator and swelling music. “TWU Presents: The Powers of Congress” looks at various Republican lawmakers and party leaders and what they’ve said about vital issues from Social Security cuts to health care repeal to civil rights and minimum wage rollbacks.

After presenting the frightening babble of House Republicans, the film warns:

These are the Powers of Congress. You are the American worker most affected by this legislation. Your Home. Your Health. Your Job. Your Country. FIGHT BACK!
