The North Carolinian calls itself 'Independent Journalism for North Carolina.' Popular Information found it is fully controlled by the Senate Leadership Fund — and its unbylined August 21 article never mentions that the killing it describes happened in South Carolina.
Whatley's campaign committees paid $104,749.73 to fly a $1.9 million Cessna linked to a construction executive Trump pardoned for defrauding the government, plus $31,247.46 to a second jet company — while his ads showed him driving a GMC truck in a flannel shirt.
H.R. 1232 would delete the part of federal labor law that lets a union and an employer agree everyone covered by a contract helps pay for it — in all 50 states, whatever each state decided. Missouri voters killed right-to-work 67-33. Michigan repealed it. Their congressmen signed anyway.
Two years ago Republicans held more town halls than Democrats. In the first half of this year they held 39 in person — 17% of the town halls they held at all. One told MS NOW that a town hall is 'a good way to get shot.' Another said Democrats 'ruined' them. The one Republican who still shows up says it works fine.
The enhanced ACA tax credits expired and enrollment fell 12% nationwide — 32% in Ohio and Oklahoma. Here is the collapse state by state, and the fourteen Republicans who voted for it.
A bill in Congress would point state Medicaid fraud investigators at the people who apply for Medicaid. Right now those investigators chase companies that overbill and caregivers who hurt patients — and they bring back $4.64 for every $1 they cost.
Two executive orders, plus an earlier move against TSA screeners, stripped collective bargaining from 84.4% of the unionized federal workforce. A bipartisan bill to restore it passed the House 231-195 — every Democrat for it, 195 Republicans against — and the Senate has sat on it for eight months.
Republicans put a 12-year cap on congressional service to a House vote in 1995. Four of these men were there for it. Two of them are now in year 45. And five Republicans currently cosponsor a three-term cap while serving their 7th, 10th and 17th terms.
Five state Republican parties have added anti-IVF language to their platforms. In Congress, the SAFE KIDS Act would void surrogacy contracts with citizens of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea — and 25 Republicans with report cards here put their names on it.
