Ossoff: "When the congressman voted for this Medicaid cuts, the largest in history, he knew that 50% of all births in our state are covered by Medicaid. He still voted for them. And as a result, a labor and delivery unit in his own district had to shut down. He also supports a total ban on abortion"

Ski resort industry urges lawmakers to reject daylight saving legislation that would “lock the clock”

The Sunshine Protection Act would have economic and safety impacts for ski areas and mountain towns, ski resorts say

Jason Blevins

Sep 21, 2026

The ski resort industry is urging U.S. senators to reject a plan that would end twice-a-year clock changing with a permanent daylight saving time, arguing the loss of an hour of sunshine on winter mornings could endanger resort workers prepping ski areas and delay opening times. 

“Operating safely in alpine environments requires adequate morning sunlight,” reads a Sept. 10 letter sent from five resort trade groups and two resort companies representing 115 ski areas in 10 states to 19 U.S. senators, urging opposition to the Sunshine Protection Act of 2026.

The House passed the bill July 14 in a 308-117 vote, with some of the 36 sponsoring lawmakers — 33 Republicans and three Democrats — citing an October 2025 poll of…

This fraud was then perpetuated by Elon Musk himself, who was running DOGE at the time, and who retweeted a post about the incident while declaring it a "criminal act." The government now "concedes ... that Mr. Musk and officials at FEMA and DHS knew this information was false."
vi. February 11, 2025, Statement by Elon Musk On February 11, 2025, Elon Musk, a Special Government Employee and head of DOGE, retweeted on X a photo of Ms. Comans along with the statement, “FEMA CFO Mary Comans was just fired for funneling $58M to illegal migrant hotels in Manhattan” and he called it a “criminal action.” The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, the post by Mr. Musk was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the Court further finds that Mr. Musk and officials at FEMA and DHS knew this information was false at the time it was posted. Based on the unchallenged facts and the fact that Mr. Musk was the head of DOGE, he knew or should have known that any payments made to state or local governments through a FEMA grant in February 2025 were approved by his subordinates. Finally, the fact that Mr. Musk posted a picture of Ms. Comans to his millions of followers while falsely characterizing her government service as a “criminal action” was clearly intended to make her afraid. Posting Ms. Comans’ picture served no legitimate governmental interest and was little more than state sanctioned intimidation.

#ResistanceRoots Kimberly Teehee was born on this day in 1968 in Chicago. She is an attorney and activist who was elected by the Cherokee Nation to serve as its first Delegate-designate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Seven years after her election, the House still has not seated her. /1
Kimberly Teehee. Teehee’s entry into public service and her subsequent selection as the Cherokee Nation’s Delegate-designate were driven by profound family influences, mentorship from legendary tribal leadership and her unmatched legislative track record in Washington, D.C. Her personal and family history is intertwined with the tangible effects of federal policies, ranging from the historical forced removal era to more recent assimilation programs. These experiences gave her a lifelong perspective on the critical need for tribal advocacy. A decisive factor in her selection as tribal delegate was her established reputation for building consensus on Capitol Hill. Cherokee Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. cited her rare ability to reach across political lines to advance complex tribal issues, noting her strong relationships with key congressional leaders of both parties.

The 1835 Treaty of New Echota gives the Cherokee Nation the right to appoint a congressional delegate. Principal Chief Chuck Hoskins Jr. decided to exercise this right in August 2019. The timing was driven by recent legal victories and the availability of a uniquely qualified candidate: Teehee. /2
Drawing depicting the signing of the Treaty of New Echota in the parlor of former Cherokee Phoenix Editor Elias Boudinot, Dec. 29, 1835. The Treaty of New Echota is one of the most consequential, tragic and legally complex documents in the history of federal-tribal relations. It served as the legal pretext for the forced removal of the Cherokee people along the Trail of Tears. It was not signed by the tribe’s elected leadership but by a small faction known as the “Treaty Party.” They believed that forced removal was inevitable and sought to negotiate the best possible terms. Article 7 provides a mechanism for political representation in Washington. The tribe maintains that the words “shall be entitled” create a binding obligation. Opponents emphasize the phrase “whenever Congress shall make provision for the same,” arguing the right requires legislation or a procedural framework before a delegate can be seated.
