An 85-year-old law says that companies don't have to pay truck drivers overtime.

Now, a bipartisan group of lawmakers have introduced a bill to finally give America’s 2.19 million truck drivers overtime pay.

Truck drivers have become indentured servants, once on the road their tied to their rig, they dont get paid down time, even if the company rig breaks down, if their offload is delayed, no pay, they have to just wait, not getting paid

I was listening to NPR this morning. There were witnesses to Kevin McCarthy hitting a member of Congress in the kidney. What an absolute child bully, I am transported back to my days in middle school.
I also see why McCarthy gets along w/ Trump.

Could we damn do this with shell companies?

Rep Clay Higgins (R-La) is asking FBI director Chris Wray about alleged "ghost buses" that perhaps brought undercover FBI assets to the Capitol on Jan 6.

"This buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters"

"These two buses were painted completely white," Higgins said, pointing to picture of buses allegedly at Union Station garage on Jan 6.

White buses are not actually unusual, in fact, look closely, I count 6 white buses

Please tell me what we do with a major political party that sees #GhostBuses

Please vote Blue. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

"Hostage Crisis represents a major test for Biden administration" - WaPo

"Israel and Hamas appear to be nearing a hostage deal" - NYTimes

Based on how these two generally write their headlines, looks like a hostage deal is gonna happen and they are stuck between it making it somehow a bad thing for Biden or simply giving no credit to the administration.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R, NY/CD-21) the House GOP conference chair, has filed a judicial ethics complaint against the judge presiding over the New York civil fraud case against Donald Trump, accusing Judge Arthur Engoron of “weaponized lawfare” against Trump, and calling on the judge to recuse himself.

NYT to Tom Cotton: You say "you are relying on 'reports' that NYT employees were involved with the deadly Hamas attack of 10/7. In fact, you are merely parroting disinformation harvested from the Internet based on a website that has conceded it had no evidence for its claims..."

Call out Republicans' "States Rights" Bull Sh*t. It's only a tactic for them to try to gain a foothold.

Ohio voters overwhelmingly voted 'Yes' on Issue 1 by a margin of 56.6% to 43.4% to codified abortion rights into Ohio's constitution — but the Ohio Republican legislature wants to overturn the results. Republicans are actively working to subvert the will of the voters. WTAF?!
