The Protect College Sports Act is a union-busting bill for the NCAA and powerful athletic conferences that would limit college athletes’ rights. The Senate must reject this bill and work to empower athletes so they can fight for better terms and conditions on the job.

An early 20th-century cat propaganda poster. A grey cat in worker garb stands in the foreground pointing at a large, empty bowl. In the background is a factory city whose workers are pouring into the streets. The cat asks the viewer through the top text of the poster "The owners have taken our labour, our life. And in return?" It is answered in bold text in the middle of the poster with "Empty Bowls!"

Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]
