At Raw Story, Matthew Chapman reports:
“According to Politico’s Meredith Lee Hill, the GOP is likely to cancel a scheduled vote on Thursday for the Save Local Business Act authored by Rep. James Comer (R-KY). This legislation would limit the circumstances in which businesses can be classified as ‘joint employers,’ a rule that protects labor rights for a number of workers from temps at staffing agencies, to farm hands, to janitors who serve multiple businesses. A contingent of Republicans sympathetic to organized labor, which opposes the legislation, are reportedly revolting, with one lawmaker telling Hill, ‘If leadership insists on a vote, it’ll likely fail worse than today’s bill.’”
Meanwhile, “A number of prominent Republicans ridiculed President Donald Trump behind his back over his false claims that the 2020 election had been ‘stolen,’ including Trump loyalist Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).” See the details at the NY Times.
And poor Steven Scalise’s BDS is spiraling out of control. Conover Kennard at Crooks and Liars has the receipts.
