Kennedy Jr. to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, MoveOn Political Action slammed RFK Jr.’s troubling pattern toward mistreating and disrespecting women. Last week, an explosive article from Vanity Fair detailed how RFK Jr. sexually assaulted his children’s former babysitter, allegations he didn’t deny (and just apologized for over text message), saying “I wasn’t a church boy.” This…

For a group that says it’s committed to the federal workforce, the Biden administration sure is saddled with some lousy labor relations situations. You can’t really blame the administration, though. A couple of long-festering labor-management issues lie only partially within the White House’s control. Specifically, it needs Senate confirmation of a few specific nominees to settle things down. They only number 580 federal employees, but the Justice Department’s immigration judges are upset.
