Republican hopes that the GOP was finally back in sync ahead of a brutal fall of fiscal deadlines.Not 24 hours later, the president cut a deal with Democrats on a short-term debt ceiling increase opposed by McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan. Just Wednesday morning, in fact, Ryan had scoffed at the Democratic offer that Trump accepted minutes later.“Today was a good day, in a generally very partisan town,” Schumer said. The minority leader said Trump was presented with a GOP deal and a Democratic one, and he “went with the better argument.”“It’s just a betrayal of everything we’ve been talking about for years as Republicans,” said former Sen.

“I think there were a lot of folks who listen to my show, who turned out at these rallies for DJ Trump, who really loved his ‘America first’ message,” Ingraham said. “There are ways to be compassionate to people short of giving them work permits and federal benefits.” Laura Ingraham, who has been friendly with the president for years, dismissed news coverage of DACA recipients as “sob stories.” DJ Trump has temporarily placed the fates of roughly 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children in the hands of Congress, buying himself time and shunting responsibility.

We all want safe, secure borders and a dynamic economy, and people of goodwill can have legitimate disagreements about how to fix our immigration system so that everybody plays by the rules.But that’s not what the action that the White House took today is about.

Happy Labour Day!

The average employee today shoulders more risk for her retirement and health care than in past generations, and enjoys less job security as the idea of a job for life has vanished . The traditional bond between employer and employee--in which companies provided job and retirement security in exchange for hard work and loyalty--has eroded so much that young workers today "don't even know what they're missing," says Rick Wartzman, a management expert and author of "The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in America," released in May by PublicAffairs.

The November 2018 election may be 14 months away, but unions are already revving up for it, especially for governors’ races.From Florida to Illinois to Ohio to New Mexico to Michigan — and that’s just for starters — unions have already endorsed gubernatorial hopefuls.And in Iowa, Service Employees Local 199 President Cathy Glasson is so pissed off by the anti-union anti-worker actions of ruling Republicans in both Washington, D.C., and the state capital of Des Moines that she’s thrown her own hat into the multi-candidate Democratic gubernatorial primary.Peoples World
