As the Biden administration moves to suspend oil and gas leasing on federal land — and has canceled the Keystone XL oil Pipeline — the state of Washington may soon outlaw gasoline cars by 2030. House Bill 1204 in the Washington state legislature was introduced by both houses on Jan. 14 and a public hearing took place on Feb. 1. The bill, co-sponsored by state Democratic Reps. Nicole Macri, Marcus Riccelli, Joe Fitzgibbon, and more than two dozen others, would effectively require all newly sold vehicles in the state to be electric. Vehicles that would not be affected by “Clean...

New bill would decriminalize, support sex workers in New York A new bill that would decriminalize sex work in New York — while still holding pimps and buyers accountable — is set to be introduced in the state Senate this week, The Post has learned. Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan), who is slated to announce the bill Monday morning, created the legislation with the assistance of sex trade survivors and advocates who want to make sure workers are given help instead of a jail cell.

Donald J. Trump @real Donald Trump 6:21 pm December 27, 2020 Good news on Covid Relief Bill. Information to follow!

President Donald Trump declined to sign the coronavirus relief and stimulus bill on Saturday evening as he pushed for higher stimulus payments of $2000 rather than $600, meaning millions of Americans would exhaust their unemployment benefits. Two unemployment benefits programs expired at midnight on Sunday morning, as the Wall Street Journal noted: The first provided unemployment benefits for gig and contract workers and others who don’t generally qualify for jobless aid. The second provided up to 13 weeks of additional payments to individuals who exhausted other programs that pay benefits, such as regular state unemployment benefits. In early December, roughly...

As noted yesterday, a simple COVID relief bill for American workers is really not a big problem… except it is… because the DC system is not structured around simply helping Americans first. The legislative machinery is owned by K-Street and multinationals who pay for the outcomes they alone create.A people’s president, Donald Trump, cuts through the chaff and countermeasures:President Trump wants congress to re-write the $900 billion COVID bill to provide $2,000 per person instead of $600 per person. In essence Trump is asking for a stand alone COVID relief bill for $2k/person, then drop the $600/person payment out of...

President Donald Trump is giving both Democrats and Republicans a headache on Tuesday after the shocking announcement on Twitter that he will not sign the COVID-19 relief bill negotiated in the Senate and House for months. He had been expected to sign the bipartisan deal this week. ***** The president asks that the bill be reworked in order to give each American a $2,000 stimulus check instead of the $600 that was negotiated. Democrats had called for more money, but Republicans pushed back on the higher amount. ***** "The $900 billion package provides hardworking taxpayers with only $600 each in...

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) weighed the pros and cons of the federal government spending passed by Congress a day earlier. However, Graham warned the price tag could be a lot worse if Democrats win the two U.S. Senate seats up in Georgia next month.

President-elect Joe Biden greeted the passage Monday night of a massive, 6,000-page coronavirus relief and spending bill with calls for more spending on the pandemic in the new year. The House and the Senate both passed the bill by overwhelming, veto-proof majorities after having just a few hours to read the voluminous text of the legislation. The bill provided $900 in coronavirus relief funding, including $300 for expanded federal unemployment benefits and $600 checks for households — half of the amounts provided by initial relief legislation earlier this year. But it also included $1.4 trillion to fund the rest of...

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Tomorrow is a day many convicted of small criminal charges have been waiting for. Tomorrow, Governor Gretchen Whitmer is expected to sign the “Clean Slate” bill. The so-called “Clean Slate” bill passed in a 29-to-8 vote. The bill, once signed, will erase a person’s record seven to ten years after being convicted of certain charges like marijuana misdemeanors. It doesn’t apply to offenses that carry a prison sentence of ten years or more, including assault and human trafficking.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- Gov. Tom Wolf will go through with a veto of a bill that would give school districts the sole ability to make decisions on sports, including whether and how many spectators to allow, he said Monday. The Wolf administration's gathering limits of 25 people indoors and 250 people outdoors apply to youth sports, but legislation that cleared the state House and Senate would empower schools to make their own rules about the number of spectators permitted at games. Some families have chafed at the statewide limits, saying attendance could safely be expanded while still allowing for adequate...

by Sam Rostock Hillary Clinton posted a video of herself ranting endlessly about "Russia" on Twitter Saturday -- and then probably wish she hadn't. She thought everyone would be talking about her attack on Trump, in her continued refusal to accept that she lost fair and square in 2016 because Americans can't stand her. But instead all anyone could focus on was....BILL, and the priceless expressions of despair in her horrid presence, which was mercilessly mocked on social media all day long. Some of the funniest tweets came from one screenshot. James Woods has the best take on the...

A young New Jersey woman has been slapped with a $2,500 fine for police overtime costs after she set up a “small, peaceful Black Lives Matter protest” at the end of July, according to a report. Emily Gil, 18, who graduated in June from Bergen County Technical School, failed to properly warn authorities in advance about the event, NJ.com reported. Gil believed that a shortage of affordable housing options in her neighborhood was a racial issue that should be brought to the public’s attention through a 30- to 40-person protest, according to NJ.com.

Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee on Monday released a draft of a funding bill that includes a provision to remove statues and busts of those who served the Confederacy or have "unambiguous records of racial intolerance" from the U.S. Capitol, setting up a potential fight over the issue as President Trump emphasizes preserving such tributes in at least some circumstances. The bill, which provides more than $4 billion to fund the legislative branch as part of the fiscal year that begins in October, is almost certain not to pass in its current form due to how Congress has run...

The House approved a wide-ranging police-reform bill Thursday night, by a vote of 236-181, sending it to the Senate, one day after Democrats stalled a GOP-backed bill there. All 233 Democrats voted in favor of the House bill, along with three Republicans: Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan, Will Hurd of Texas and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. The bill, titled the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, came amid nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice in the U.S.
