WASHINGTON – In response to President Trump’s Inauguration and anticipated executive orders, MoveOn Civic Action Executive Director Rahna Epting released the following statement: “The American people voted for common sense and cheaper eggs, not chaos and corruption. Yet, Donald Trump is already betraying what voters sent him to Washington to do—just as he did in his first term.

Much of the GOP-led legislation will be familiar to federal employees — a majority of the bills have been reintroduced for at least the last couple of years.

Here are just a handful of bills from Republican lawmakers in…

Why else would there be a second volume coming? The pop diva, 78, apparently is trying to give fellow chanteuse Barbra Streisand, 82, who in November 2023 came out with an autobiography of her own,…
