Tuesday night, the House passed legislation aimed at reforming the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), the 1976 law that for almost 40 years has dictated how chemicals are managed in the United States. Passed with broad bipartisan support — with the only no vote coming from Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) — the bill is a first step toward reforming TSCA, largely considered one of the most ineffective environmental laws in the country.

    Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett said during an MSNBC appearance that GOP lawmakers and MAGA social media users who are bizarrely blasting President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter should "take a look in the mirror."

  • Christmas Comes Early For Wisconsin Workers!
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 12/03/2024 - 06:21 AM

    Dane County Circuit Court Judge Jacob Frost confirmed what we all knew for the past 13 years - that Scott Walker's self-proclaimed legacy, Act 10, was indeed illegal and unconstitutional. Furthermore, Frost proclaimed that the law is so broken, there's no way it can be fixed: “Nobody could provide this Court an explanation that reasonably showed why municipal police and fire and State Troopers are considered public safety employees, but Capitol Police, UW Police and conservation wardens, who have the same authority and do the same work, are not," Frost wrote in his July ruling.
