Indiana lawmakers are once again trying to weaken child labor laws: Bill sponsored by business owner would enable employers to hide child labor violations Coordinated, industry-backed campaigns to weaken child labor protections continue to target state legislatures in 2026. Yesterday, the Indiana Senate passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements...

Indiana lawmakers passed a bill eliminating requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers.

Experts warn it could make it easier to hide child labor violations. Weakening protections for young workers isnโ€™t progressโ€”itโ€™s a huge step backward. https://seiu.co/4r9EGYB

This is a Russian drone flying at ultra-low altitude between five-story buildings in the Poltava region to bypass air defense systems.

This is the daily reality that Ukrainians have been living with for four years.

Itโ€™s a pedo with Shingles. Too bad he doesnโ€™t believe in vaccines.

This morning Hegseth said the media should stop talking about the soldiers who died because it makes Trump look bad. Well, the fact is, Trump is the worst President.

We ran the math behind the race for governor. And with Mike Duggan in the mix, things took an interesting turn. ๐Ÿ‘€ TikTok video by The Gander

BREAKING: Senate vote on War Powerโ€™s Resolution fails 47-52

46 Dems in favor, 1 Nay (Feckless Fetterman)

51 GOP against, 1 Yea (Rand Paul, co-sponsored bill with Kaine)

It is unhinged that we even need a war powerโ€™s resolution to restate what is explicit in the Constitution. Yet here we are. smh

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time heโ€™s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Sarah Ransome: โ€œJeffrey very, very clearly said to me: โ€˜you answer to Ghislaineโ€ฆ I will kill you, I will kill your parents, if you ever run, if you tell anybody, or if you go to the authorities [about] the rapesโ€™โ€ฆ She orchestrated everythingโ€ฆ Ghislaine is as responsible, if not more, than Jeffrey.โ€

No. Felon47 really is the dumbest, plus he now has dementia. Iโ€™m so worried about our Military and humanity.

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

A Nation that can fund a war instantly, but debates funding healthcare has a values problem, not a budget problem.

I cannot listen to Leavitt. ๐Ÿคฎ I couldnโ€™t listen to Sarah Huckabee Sanders during Felon47โ€™s first term either. How in the world did Arkansas elect that lying, bullshitting Trumper as governor? Iโ€™ll never understand some folks.

Trump went to war without the approval of Congress. Congress is the voice of the American peoples. Trump can be impeached over this war. Congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121

Just leaving this briefing from the Trump Admin on the war in Iran. My main question is: have you read the Constitution?

Because, this Administration provided no viable legal theory for why they acted unilaterally.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. The craziest part about them saying Donald Trump is โ€œanointed by godโ€ is that Donald Trump raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein.
