President Biden saved Teamsters’ pensions with funds from a law opposed by every elected Republican… yet an alarming number broke for anti-union/anti-labor Trump anyway
We simply can’t assume Americans will vote for politicians who materially deliver for them — something to consider for the future

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Minorities make up 60% of Texas’s population and even drove 95% of the state’s growth in the most recent Census. Yet their new map cuts their share of districts from 34% to 21%.

It’s hard to put into words just how comprehensively this bill is going to hurt public colleges and universities in Texas—especially UT.
Texas legislators just passed a bill that
gives politically-appointed regents control over faculty curriculum, hiring, & governance. It does what they accuse academics of doing: privileging ideas, biases, & agendas on political grounds, & silencing those that do not follow their ideology.

Political appointees would have more control over Texas universities’ courses and hiring under bill OK’d by House
Senate Bill 37 would give more power to university regents, who are appointed by the governor, to vet and veto new curricula and administrators.
