Sixty years ago, President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963 into law. The landmark law recognized the right of equal pay for equal work, prohibiting pay discrimination on the basis of sex for workers doing substantially similar jobs. It was a momentous step forward and created the first of many equal pay protections to combat pay discrimination that harms women, particularly women of color. While we’ve made strides to protect workers from pay discrimination based on race, age, disability, and more since then, our work is not done. For women working full-time, year-round the pay gap…

That means they are prioritizing restoring tax breaks for big corporations over restoring tax credits that…

Fort LibertyFayetteville, North Carolina 3:51 P.M. EDT THE FIRST LADY:   Thank you, General Donahue.  And thank you for your leadership here at Liberty. Through Joining Forces — my White House initiative to support military and veteran families, caregivers, and survivors — I’ve traveled to bases across this country and across the world.  And I’ve sat with military families just like yours to learn about their experiences and their challenges.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:       Section 1.  Policy.  Military-connected families are American working families.  Military and veteran families, military caregivers, and survivors face many of the same challenges as their neighbors, but they can carry the additional strains of multiple deployments; frequent moves with little control over their geographic location; caring for wounded, ill, and injured service members or veterans; time apart for training and other demands of military life; and more.  The unique demands of military life continue to affect…

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest.
