Some Georgia workers would find it harder to become union members under a new bill
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia lawmakers have made it harder for workers at companies getting state economic incentives to unionize, in what could be a violation of federal law. The state House voted 96 to 78 Wednesday for Senate Bill 362, which would bar companies that accept state incentives from recognizing unions without a formal secret-ballot election. The measure, which has been backed by Gov. Brian Kemp, now goes to the Republican governor for his signature. LAKEN RILEY’S ‘HEARTBROKEN’ FATHER ASKS GEORGIA GOVERNOR TO ‘DECLARE AN INVASION’ OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS The bill would block unions from winning recognition directly from a company — without the additional step of a secret ballot — after signing up a majority of workers, in what is usually known as a card check. The proposal comes as Georgia is giving billions in economic incentives to electric vehicle manufacturers and other companies. Union leaders and Democrats argue the bill violates 1935’s National Labor Relations Act, which governs union organizing. “If this bill passes, there will be a lawsuit and it will cost Georgia taxpayers millions of dollars and the state will lose,” state Rep. Saira Draper, an Atlanta Democrat, said on the House floor Wednesday. The National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency overseeing union affairs, has declined to comment. Democrats say the bill is really about making it harder for unions to organize and for companies to accept them. Other Democrats took to the House floor to argue that the bill would harm Georgia businesses by making workers from other states reluctant to move here. “Why would we do anything to be anti-labor when we need to attract more workers from any source available?” asked Rep. Gregg Kennard of Lawrenceville. Republicans denied that the bill is anti-labor, saying it aims to protect workers’ privacy. Some, including Kemp, argue that the secret ballot protects workers from being bullied into joining unions. “Nothing in this bill stops a union from being formed,” said Rep. Soo Hong of Lawrenceville. “We are ensuring that when the state invests state resources to drive job creation that hardworking Georgians who hold those jobs have the agency to determine whether to be represented by a labor union.” Only 4.4% of Georgia workers are union members, the eighth-lowest rate among states. Georgia’s bill is modeled after a law passed in Tennessee last year, but there could be similar legislation offered in many other states. The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council is promoting the idea. The national push could also be a response to a decision by the Democratic-controlled NLRB last year that made it easier for unions to organize by card check. Governors in other Southern states traditionally hostile to organized labor have been speaking out against unions, after the United Auto Workers vowed a fresh push to organize nonunion auto factories after multiple failed attempts. Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey said her state’s economic success is “under attack.” Henry McMaster, South Carolina’s Republican governor, told lawmakers in the nation’s least unionized state last month that organized labor is such a threat that he would fight unions ” all the way to the gates of hell.” Kemp proclaimed his support for the bill in a January speech to the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, echoing the chamber’s own agenda. He said the move would protect workers’ “right to opportunity” from President Joe Biden’s pro-union agenda and outside forces “who want nothing more than to see the free market brought to a screeching halt.” Alabama and South Carolina are among five states that have passed state constitutional amendments guaranteeing access to secret union ballots. Indiana, like Tennessee, has passed a state law.
Nebraska governor tightens restrictions on gender transition treatments for minors
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen has approved restrictions on gender transition treatments for people under the age of 19, as more states enact regulations for “gender-affirming” procedures for minors. “Nebraska’s kids are our future. They deserve the opportunity to grow up and develop to their full, God-given potential,” Pillen said in a statement last week. “As a state, we must protect children from making potentially irreversible and regrettable decisions – decisions for which they may not completely understand the consequences.” The law took effect this week. COLORADO COULD BECOME THE FIRST STATE TO BUILD SEPARATE PRISON UNITS FOR TRANSGENDER FELONS Last week, Pillen, a Republican, signed legislation known as the Let Them Grow Act, which would require transgender people under the age of 19 who are seeking nonsurgical pharmaceutical gender-altering treatments to clear several hurdles before getting treatment. That includes 40 hours of therapy before they’re granted puberty blockers or hormonal prescriptions. If such prescriptions are granted, minors have to wait seven days until they can receive them. Once they get either puberty blockers or hormonal prescriptions, minors will also have to undergo one hour of therapy every three months to evaluate their mental wellness. “I’m pleased that the process is over,” Republican state Sen. Kathleen Kauth told the Nebraska Examiner. “I hope that it helps kids.” AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY FINDS ‘HOMOPHOBIA’ AND ‘DISCRIMINATION’ CAN ‘INCREASE CANCER RISK’ IN LGBTQ+ PEOPLE However, advocates of more widespread access to so-called “gender-affirming” procedures and prescriptions see the law as harmful for kids who identify as transgender. The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska released a statement following the governor’s signature, saying Nebraska lawmakers “have decided to flatly ignore the serious concerns raised by impacted young people as well as their family members and their medical and mental health providers.” “To be clear, we are talking about gender-affirming care that is endorsed by major medical organizations and recognized as often life-saving care,” ACLU spokesperson Grant Friedman said. “Young trans Nebraskans and their families have been struggling to access needed gender-affirming care under the emergency regulations, and now they know that will continue under these discriminatory final regulations.” ACLU SUES INDIANA OVER DENIAL OF SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY FOR INMATE WHO STRANGLED 11-MONTH-OLD TO DEATH The new law comes as more conservative states are enacting laws that severely restrict both surgical and nonsurgical transgender procedures for minors. And states like Idaho, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida have taken it a step further by making it a felony to give minors any gender-transition prescriptions or perform surgical procedures, such as sex changes. Meanwhile, several states have created “shield laws” that protect these procedures and gender-transition prescriptions for transgender people, including California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, New York, Vermont, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, Illinois and Massachusetts.
Biden administration warns states of possible attacks on water systems from foreign hackers
The Biden administration warned state leaders that cyberattacks from hackers linked to Iran and China could take down water systems across the U.S. if cybersecurity measures are not taken out of precaution. In a letter to state governors, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Michael S. Regan and Jake Sullivan, the assistant to the President for national security affairs, said cyberattacks are targeting water and wastewater systems throughout the U.S. “These attacks have the potential to disrupt the critical lifeline of clean and safe drinking water, as well as impose significant costs on affected communities,” the two wrote. “We are writing to describe the nature of these threats and request your partnership on important actions to secure water systems against the increasing risks from and consequences of these attacks.” The letter highlighted two recent and ongoing threats posing a risk to water systems in the U.S. FORMER GOOGLE ENGINEER INDICTED FOR STEALING AI SECRETS TO AID CHINESE FIRMS One threat involved hackers linked to the Iranian government’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which have carried out attacks on drinking water systems and other critical elements of infrastructure. Regan and Sullivan said the IRGC cyberattacks went after and disabled technology used at water facilities after the facility neglected to change the default manufacturer password. In the other highlighted threat, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored hacker group, Volt Typhoon, compromised information technology of critical infrastructure systems, including drinking water facilities, in the U.S. and its territories. HOUSE UNANIMOUSLY VOTES TO KEEP SENSITIVE AMERICAN DATA OUT OF HOSTILE COUNTRIES’ HANDS “Volt Typhoon’s choice of targets and pattern of behavior are not consistent with traditional cyber espionage,” the letter read. “Federal departments and agencies assess with high confidence that Volt Typhoon actors are pre-positioning themselves to disrupt critical infrastructure operations in the event of geopolitical tensions and/or military conflicts.” The letter also noted that drinking water and wastewater facilities are “attractive” targets for hackers because they often lack the resources and technical capacity to adapt to the latest cybersecurity practices. The EPA is currently the lead agency that addresses and ensures the country’s water is safe from threats and hazards. LEADERS IN NUCLEAR FUSION MEET IN DC TO RAISE MONEY IN RACE AGAINST CHINA Now the agency is asking for state, local, tribal and territorial governments to do their part in ensuring the water sources are safe from cyberattacks. Something as simple as resetting default passwords or updating software to address known vulnerabilities could be taken to fend off these types of attacks, according to the letter. The EPA also plans to engage the Water Sector and Water Government Coordinating Councils to establish the Water Sector Cybersecurity Task Force. The task force will be formed to identify significant vulnerabilities of water systems to cyberattacks as well as the challenges these systems face when it comes to adopting cybersecurity best practices. “We will invite your Environmental, Health and Homeland Security Secretaries to participate with us in a convening to discuss the improvements needed to safeguard water sector critical infrastructure against cyber threats,” the letter read. Sullivan and Regan also plan to hold a virtual meeting with state leaders on Thursday to discuss the need to safeguard the critical water sector against cyberattacks. “Drinking water and wastewater systems are a lifeline for communities, but many systems have not adopted important cybersecurity practices to thwart potential cyberattacks,” Regan said. “EPA and NSC take these threats very seriously and will continue to partner with state environmental, health, and homeland security leaders to address the pervasive and challenging risk of cyberattacks on water systems.”
Fox News Politics: Bidens under fire
Welcome to Fox News’ Politics newsletter with the latest political news from Washington D.C. and updates from the 2024 campaign trail. What’s happening? -Texas and the Biden administration continue to go to blows over the border -GOP lawmaker claims Republicans ‘don’t have the guts’ to impeach Biden -Trump proposes a national compromise on abortion House Republicans are holding a hearing into allegations of influence peddling within President Biden’s family and have been questioning two former associates of Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski and Jason Galanis. “Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed that he was not involved Hunter Biden’s, Jim Biden’s, or any other Biden family business deals. Today our witnesses have proved otherwise,” Rep. Nancy Mace said at the conclusion of her questioning. The hearings got heated as Republicans grilled the witnesses about the Biden family, and Democrats taunted the GOP about having no evidence. They also attempted to shift the narrative to show former President Trump was the true abuser of presidential power. Members from opposing parties squabbled over which side’s witness was more untrustworthy — Galanis, testifying from a federal prison about Biden family dealings, or Lev Parnas, who also spent time in prison, and testified that he helped Rudy Giuliani construct false information about alleged Biden family corruption in Ukraine.

ICE agents blast LA’s ‘frustrating’ sanctuary policies as they work to nab criminal illegal immigrants
EXCLUSIVE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are doing their best to get criminal illegal immigrants off the streets in Los Angeles, but say they are hampered by “sanctuary” policies that prevent local police cooperating with them. Fox News rode along with ICE agents this week in the California city as they set off to arrest those in the country illegally who also have pending criminal charges or criminal convictions. Their first target was a Mexican woman previously convicted of trafficking opioids in Los Angeles. Agents said she was distributing them to minors. She’s a convicted felon already deported four times, and when ICE agents nabbed her, she has thousands of dollars in cash on her person. WHITE HOUSE CALLS FOR SANCTUARY CITIES TO COOPERATE WITH ICE AMID FUROR OVER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMES Soon, agents brought in another felon — a Mexican male with convictions for domestic violence and meth trafficking. ICE Los Angeles Field Office made 3,158 arrests of those with pending or convicted criminal charges in Fiscal Year 23, and removed 2,429 such illegal immigrants. They also arrested nearly 250 gang members. When ICE believes a removable illegal immigrant has been arrested on criminal charges, it will lodge a detainer — a request that they be notified before the immigrant is released from custody and to keep them in custody until ICE can take custody of them. But sanctuary jurisdictions generally do not honor detainers, sometimes arguing that enforcement is not their responsibility and that doing so has a chilling effect on relations between immigrants and the community. “When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission,” ICE’s website warns. But sanctuary jurisdictions are not always listening. NYC MAYOR CONTINUES CALLS FOR SANCTUARY CITY AMENDMENT TO ALLOW DEPORTATION OF VIOLENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS “Due to sanctuary policies, unfortunately, our detainers are not being honored,” an ICE agent in L.A. told Fox. “It is frustrating.” Asked if they now had any presence at the jail, the agent replied, “No.” WHICH CITIES, COUNTIES, AND STATES IN THE US ARE ‘SANCTUARY’ JURISDICTIONS? ICE blames those policies for arresting the third felon of the day, who was convicted of trafficking meth and being a felon in possession of a gun. ICE says he was released after a detainer was ignored. It’s an area that has also brought liberal cities into friction with the Biden administration, which, via ICE leadership as well as DHS and the White House, has urged cities to cooperate with ICE. And the agents say that it’s a myth that they’re out there conducting indiscriminate raids. “The sex offenders, the child molesters, drug traffickers, that misconception that we’re out there indiscriminately conducting raids at checkpoints, that’s just simply far from the truth,” an agent told Fox.
House Republicans move to strengthen protections for DOJ whistleblowers
FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans are eyeing stronger protections for whistleblowers who come out publicly against the Department of Justice (DOJ). A new bill led by Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., and backed by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is aimed at trying to ensure an expedient and impartial process for DOJ whistleblowers. “Unfortunately, the FBI and DOJ have a long history of quieting whistleblowers by pulling security clearances, delaying investigations and ending their careers. The Protect Whistleblowers from Retaliation Act will ensure those who come forward to do the right thing are able to do so without fearing for their future,” Langworthy told Fox News Digital. HOUSE REPUBLICANS DEMAND TRANSCRIPT OF BIDEN’S INTERVIEW WITH SPECIAL COUNSEL AS PART OF IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY Jordan told Fox News Digital “dozens” of DOJ whistleblowers have approached his committee “with allegations of political bias and misconduct.” “These whistleblowers risked their careers and their livelihoods to speak out to shine a light on the problem and to restore public trust in the FBI. Regrettably, loopholes in existing whistleblower protection laws have allowed FBI senior leadership to retaliate against many of these whistleblowers,” Jordan said. DOJ DEFENDS SPECIAL COUNSEL REPORT ON BIDEN’S MEMORY: ‘CONSISTENT WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENT,’ NOT ‘GRATUITOUS’ The bill would affirm the DOJ Inspector General’s office as the sole investigator for whistleblower retaliation investigations and would require those investigations be completed within 240 days. It would also block the DOJ from implementing personnel practices involving the removal of security clearances. Earlier this month, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced a 90-day pilot program to encourage whistleblowers to come forward with new and important information. BIDEN, NOT SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR, BROUGHT UP SON’S DEATH IN QUESTIONING The House Judiciary Committee has been investigating allegations of whistleblower retaliation within the FBI, in particular, since Republicans took the majority in January 2023. Its select subcommittee on weaponization of the federal government held a hearing in May of last year about alleged whistleblower retaliation within the bureau. Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ for comment on Langworthy and Jordan’s accusations.
US releases ‘strongest ever’ car pollution rules in push for EV transition
The new environmental regulations fall short of more ambitious goals previously set by the Biden administration. Washington, DC – The United States has released what it calls the “strongest ever” regulations for car tailpipe pollution, as the country looks to accelerate its sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in an effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Still, the rules — released on Wednesday — fall short of more ambitious goals previously set by the administration of President Joe Biden. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it projects that the regulations would lead to 30 to 56 percent of new cars being electric between 2030 and 2032. Last year, the EPA projected that EVs would amount to 60 percent of new car sales by 2030 and 67 percent by 2032. “With transportation as the largest source of US climate emissions, these strongest-ever pollution standards for cars solidify America’s leadership in building a clean transportation future and creating good-paying American jobs, all while advancing President Biden’s historic climate agenda,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. “The standards will slash over 7 billion tons of climate pollution, improve air quality in overburdened communities, and give drivers more clean vehicle choices while saving them money.” In 2021, Biden signed an executive order setting an objective that half of US car sales in 2030 would be “zero-emissions vehicles”. Close to eight percent of new car sales in the US in 2023 were electric vehicles, according to the EPA. The car industry, however, has pushed back against the Biden administration’s efforts to tighten emissions regulations and speed up the transition to electric vehicles. Biden’s agenda has also faced opposition from Republicans, as well as questions about whether the US has adequate infrastructure, including charging stations, to accommodate a significant increase in the number of electric cars on the roads. But Democrats argue that curbing greenhouse emissions is necessary to address the climate crisis, as the planet sees some of its hottest temperatures on record. The EPA also said on Wednesday that the rules will save money in the long run. “These standards will … provide nearly $100 billion of annual net benefits to society, including $13 billion of annual public health benefits due to improved air quality, and $62 billion in reduced annual fuel costs, and maintenance and repair costs for drivers,” it said. Former President Donald Trump, who is set to face off with Biden in the general elections in November, has repeatedly criticised the Democratic incumbent over EVs. Trump stirred controversy last week when he said there would be a “bloodbath” if Biden is reelected, arguing that the Democratic president would allow Chinese EVs, built in Mexican factories, to flood the US market. He later clarified that his “bloodbath” comment was meant to indicate that the US car industry would suffer under his Democratic opponent. In January, Trump also took aim at EVs. “There’s no such thing as fair transition that destroys over 100,000 auto manufacturing jobs,” he said. But Biden has said that his policies will allow US companies to compete with the rest of the world, which is transitioning towards electric cars anyway. On Wednesday, Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler hailed the new EPA rules as a win for “environment and public health”. “The new standards will also save consumers money through reduced fuel consumption and maintenance costs,” he wrote in a social media post. But Republican Congressman Tim Walberg slammed the regulations. “Despite consumer needs, grid & infrastructure concerns, & costs, Biden’s EPA is proceeding with its disastrous mandate”, he wrote on social media. “EVs may be a good option for some, but Americans should have the right to buy whatever car best suits their family.” Adblock test (Why?)
Fitch Ratings upgrades Qatar to third-highest on back of gas expansion
Revenues from Qatar’s LNG fields will provide budget surpluses until the 2030s, Fitch said. Fitch Ratings has upgraded Qatar to AA, its third-highest rating, on the back of revenues expected from its expanded gas fields, the agency has said. Revenues from Qatar’s liquified natural gas (LNG) fields will ensure that the country posts budget surpluses until the 2030s, Fitch said in a release on Wednesday outlining the rating rationale. The upgrade from AA- “reflects Fitch’s greater confidence that debt to GDP will remain in line with or below the ‘AA’ peer median after falling sharply in recent years,” the agency said. Fitch expects Qatar’s debt-to-GDP ratio to fall to about 47 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024 and 45 percent in 2025, from a peak of 85 percent in 2020. Qatar is already one of the richest countries in the world and boasts one of the highest ratios of GDP per capita. The added revenue boost will ensure that its external balance sheet will strengthen from an already strong level, Fitch said. However, Fitch warned that the continuing war in Gaza posed a risk to Qatar’s rating even though it had so far not been directly affected. Should a sharp escalation in regional tensions lead to capital flight from banks, for instance, or cause prolonged disruptions of Qatar’s hydrocarbon and transport sectors, that would affect the latest rating, Fitch said. Qatar is one of the biggest exporters of LNG along with the United States, Australia and Russia. Asian countries led by China, Japan and South Korea have been the main market for Qatari gas, but demand has also grown from European countries since Russia’s war on Ukraine threw supplies into doubt. Qatar Energy plans to expand LNG production capacity at North Field from 77 million tonnes per year (mtpa) to 110 mtpa by end-2025, 126 mtpa by end-2027 and announced a further expansion to 142 mtpa by end-2030. The North Field is part of the world’s largest gas field, which Qatar shares with Iran, which calls its share South Pars. Competition for LNG has ramped up since the start of the war in Ukraine, with Europe, in particular, requiring a large quantity to help replace Russian pipeline gas that used to make up almost 40 percent of the continent’s imports. However, after a decade of meteoric price rise, gas prices dropped earlier this year to nearly all-time lows after adjusting for inflation. Despite that drop, all leading gas producers, including the US, Australia and Russia, want to increase output betting on further demand growth. Adblock test (Why?)

Trump rakes in more than $20 million in February, eclipses January haul
EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump raised more than $20 million in February — an increase from December and January — bringing his cash-on-hand to nearly $42 million at the end of last month, Fox News Digital has learned. The presumptive GOP nominee’s campaign and his Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee brought in $20.33 million last month. LOCKING IT UP: TRUMP CLINCHES 2024 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION DURING TUESDAY’S PRIMARIES The fundraising haul represents a massive increase from prior months. In January, Trump brought in $13.875 million. In December, Trump raked in nearly $10.5 million. At the end of February, Trump had a combined $41.9 million cash-on-hand. NEW POLL REVEALS AMERICANS TRUST DONALD TRUMP OVER BIDEN TO LEAD THE US AS PRESIDENT “Americans know that they were better off with President Trump four years ago than with Crooked Joe Biden and his disastrous policies,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital. “We need a return to America First policies that successfully kept our country safe and supercharged the economy for all Americans.” Trump officially became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee earlier this month after victories in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state primaries. President Biden also clinched his party’s nomination earlier this month. The November contest between Biden and Trump is the first rematch in a White House race since 1956, when Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated former Democratic Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois when they faced off a second time. The latest Fox News Poll from earlier this month gave Trump a lead over Biden in a head-to-head match up. Meanwhile, a separate new ABC/Ipsos poll found that more respondents trust Trump, 36%, over Biden, who received 33%. About 30% of respondents said they would trust neither candidate.
