96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

The redistricting battle in Texas is intensifying, as Republican Governor Greg Abbott targets Democratic lawmakers who have left the state in protest. Their absence is preventing the Republican-controlled House from reaching a quorum to pass new redistricting legislation.

If you care about clean water, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, or Indigenous land rights, this executive order should be a major concern. It reframes our shared natural heritage as little more than a commercial asset, and that’s a dangerous precedent!

In short, despite its “patriotic” title, the Make America Beautiful Again Commission prioritizes economic development over environmental stewardship. It represents a stark shift away from conservation and could lead to irreversible damage to some of the last intact wilderness areas in the U.S.

The newly established “Make America Beautiful Again Commission,” created under a Trump executive order, may sound harmless, or even beneficial, but beneath the surface, it represents a major threat to public lands.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.
They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.
Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

This maneuver also clashes with the Militia Clause in the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15), which gives Congress, not the president, the power to call forth the militia under specific conditions like insurrection or invasion.
