EPA axes contracts with unions The agency cited "national security" in moving to terminate the collective bargaining agreements.

EPA workers make sure our air and water are clean and protect our communities from pollution. Taking away their voice on the job isn't only an attack on their basic rightsโ€”it puts us all in danger.

This administration is escalating its union-busting. Now is the time to get loud.

If people had listened to Martha Mitchell and Helen Thomasโ€”the original source for Watergate and the original reporterโ€”it wouldnโ€™t have taken years before he resigned.

@crockett.house.gov: "They pledge their fealty to some idiot who's obviously struggling mentally. Whether it's mental decline or whether he's ever had the capacity, they decided they're going to do whatever he wants them to do.. I never thought I'd see the day that a Texan would bow down to a NYer."

A field guide to โ€˜accelerationismโ€™: White supremacist groups using violence to spur race war and create social chaos A scholar of right-wing extremism provides an overview of some of the key white supremacist groups that pose significant threats to public safety.

A co-founder of the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Thursday for a plot to blow up Baltimoreโ€™s electrical grid.

In my piece on Gov. Greg Abbottโ€™s suit, I briefly addressed why his allegations that the Democratic legislators committed bribery are entirely meritless.

But Iโ€™m so annoyed by this that I might have to write more. Itโ€™s just so unserious.

Trump removes IRS boss, Treasury Secretary Bessent takes over for now Billy Long, who was sworn in just under two months ago, was already the sixth person to hold the job this year. He told NBC News he will be the next U.S. ambassador to Iceland.

Weโ€™re now on our 6th IRS Commissioner. I think these guys know they donโ€™t have immunity like Trump does. www.nbcnews.com/politics/eco...

All you really need to know about the federal prison facility to which Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred is that the official signage looks like the kind of place that offers 2-for-1 slider specials, 10-cent wing happy hours, and a live karaoke band every Tues. night.

She sex trafficked kids.

And costing out an identical DIYโ€™ed one is about $1.60 and 5 minutes, and maybe 7 cents of electricity, assuming access to a sandwich maker or a toaster and a way to make an egg.
