Did we just live to see the high watermark of freedoms and rights in this country before they were gradually taken away?

I think what's really revealing is that there's no evidence that this Web designer was ever even approached by a same-sex couple looking for services to support their wedding.

These are the kinds of things that are at stake. And we have a Supreme Court that is very much out of step with how most Americans view these issues.

I think the bigger picture here, when you look at the Supreme Court taking away a woman's right to choose, you look at Friday's decision diminishing the equality of same-sex couples, you look at a number of the decisions that have been…

Those police officers see that you are getting bonuses, and your executive board are getting bonuses, primarily paid by the American taxpayer, and you can't help those police officers? As a former police officer, I find that extremely…

The airlines need to be prepared to service the tickets that they sell.

Such a high rate of turnover is indicative that there are some real issues with the quality of the job of driving a truck.

A national issue that is affecting the whole domestic aviation industry but disproportionately affecting smaller regional airlines.

Secretary Buttigieg announced last summer that $26 million in IIJA funds will be used to upgrade our Penn Station in Baltimore.

I am writing on behalf of the freight rail industry to inform you that all seven Class I railroads have agreed to join FRA's voluntary Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C3RS).
