Tennessee Rep. Rusty Grills says a lobbyist proposed a simple idea: repeal the state's requirement for reflective roofs on many commercial buildings.

“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." — 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by the US Senate, signed by President Adams

Comments like Johnson’s are what happens when you ban books instead of reading them.

Billionaires and oligarchs are using their obscene fortunes to undermine and subvert democratic processes, limit our rights and freedoms, and weaken regulations meant to protect people and the planet.
