Disability accommodations don't hurt or incovenience anyone. They usually make access better for everyone. This is a huge mistake and they'll have to retrofit it later if they don't build it now.
The Department of Energy is trying to get rid of accessibility requirements for new construction via rulemaking. This unprecedented move, which seems to be illegal, could be the blueprint for other federal agencies to follow. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR.
In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.
