Opinion | Say No to Julie Su at Labor
The past few years have been tough on American workers: the sudden loss of jobs and income during the pandemic, inflation and the overall sense of economic uncertainty have all taken a toll.

Democrats skittish about throwing big money at North Carolina Senate race
Democrats are approaching the North Carolina Senate race like an ex who says they want to get back together after a series of on-again, off-again relationships.

That’s led Democrats, for now at least, to be rather cautious about investing significant money and other campaign resources, not to mention hope, on behalf of Democratic nominee Cheri Beasley.

In Johnston County, North Carolina, parents demonstrated outside their school board meeting last month in opposition to CRT.
Pork-barrel earmarks begin to poison Washington
Taxpayers across the country are getting their first looks at what the Washington swamp is like in the new earmark era. It’s not a pretty sight. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives brought back the practice of earmarking for the first time in 10 years. At the time, conservatives warned that opening this wasteful Pandora’s box would allow the big spenders in Congress once again to have an opportunity to belly up to the pork-barrel buffet on the taxpayers’ dime.

The Right to Pass Down America’s Founding Values Is Worth Fighting For
Last month, the San Francisco School Board voted 6-1 to remove the names of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Paul Revere, and other historic American patriots from 44 schools.

Congress Should Pull Funds From Cities That Shut Down Restaurants
Let’s start with a simple truth: restaurants are not driving the spread of COVID-19. In New York, restaurants accounted for less than 2 percent of infections, in Los Angeles less than 4 percent and in Minnesota, less than 1 percent. Despite these facts, Democratic governors and mayors across America continue to arbitrarily keep restaurant dining shut down. In recent months, the governors of New York, Washington, Michigan, Illinois, and Oregon have all issued orders shutting down indoor dining.
Congress Should Pull Federal Funds From Cities That Shut Down Restaurants
It's well past time for oppressive governors and mayors to reverse course, allow restaurants to safely operate, and help servers make a living again.
The Biden Administration Must Keep Up The Pressure On Beijing
Chinese President Xi Jinping is hoping Americans are happy idiots, willing to look past decades of Chinese economic malpractice and a crushing pandemic the Chinese Communist Party unleashed on the world in the name of global congeniality. To avoid so-called “confrontation,” Xi urged President Joe Biden’s administration Monday to reverse the Trump administration’s economic restrictions on China and forgo its plans to build a Western coalition to push back on Beijing.
The Biden Administration Must Keep Up The Pressure On Beijing
We should treat Xi and the Communist China for what they are -- a threat to America, its people, and any that cherish democracy, freedom, and human life.
Let Workers Enjoy the Fruits of their Productivity Gains
Sign up to receive The Commons posts in your inbox. Amber and David Lapp have written movingly about the current plight of America’s workers (here and here). The commodification of labor that they describe is not new by any means.
