Proposed new child labor laws in FLA. The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. Are you OK with this?

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

I'm all for downsizing a bloated bureaucracy but DOGE and OPM did it the wrong way by lying those probationary hires had poor performance when the vast majority had stellar performance records. What a sham!

I am a retired US Navy Captain, once a moderate conservative. I got tired of the zero-sum game mentality of the right. I also despised their inability to put themselves in others' shoes and see the world from a different perspective. I am today a proud liberal. Look forward to connecting with others
