Seeing a lot of this lately...

The entire premise is BS because Biden has a list of accomplishments from infrastructure to debt forgiveness, progressive drug guidance, progress in gender/race equality, departments like the ftc and irs being competently run again with actual resources, to judge appointments. Hmm I wonder to who's benefit it is to ignore all that and label him "not Trump"?

A third party isn't them though. I get what you are saying because LMG writes the check, but realistically that's the best anyone can do. Why would the government get involved? Specifically why would taxpayers pay to help rehabilitate a private company's reputation?

Private independent auditors are in every industry and a standard practice.

Oh, and as long as we're being cynical, let's say you got your wish and a government entity does the investigation. Odds are they would just contract it out to these same people. Same results, only everyone gets to charge more for their services.

Democrats flip final House seat of the 2024 elections, narrowing Republicans' majority

4 years of absolutely nothing would be a godsend for Trump. If he got nothing done in 4 years he would be looking at a minimum of 2 years of a good stock market from the economic tailwind of Biden policies that two more years of stagnation wouldn't erase. You would then be looking at president Vance with an election that makes this look like minor leagues.

Not to mention, Trump voters aren't going to hold him accountable regardless.

If you want anyone left of MAGA to care, you'd be hoping he gets his stuff passed so people can see what they voted for.

Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem

Paying for commute expense is already a solved problem.

Some examples, a fixed amount based on data provided every month for commute. (200 dollars a month or whatever)

Or if a company wants to be both stingy and generous at the same time, make you expense your gas or public transportation every month up to a certain limit.

It doesn't matter if you move to a different part of town. The cost is negligible to a business.

Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike

The article is confusing but it sounds like the union wants both C and G at the table, but C and G both agree that C should be the employer and G doesn't need to join the talks. So C is saying, if you really want G to join, you'll have to wait until the appeals are finished.

I'm guessing the union doesn't want to negotiate with C, have C go to G with the terms and G refuse and just causing endless delays in a game of telephone bargaining.

If Obama didn't push for ACA, we would not be at this point we are now. Even if he did not succeed to get everyone on board, he moved the needle. The conversion is steering in the right direction.

And like the other replier said, the president sets the guidance for congress and their party. They make it clear what they want to pass and what won't pass, then congress will work towards those goals/ compromises. Ex, If the president clearly indicates she is pro choice, any anti abortion legislation is going to be vetoed so no one is spending political capital trying to push for it, grandstand aside.
