  • PFAW Joins 80+ Organizations to Oppose Another Empty GOP Promise for Working Families

    Billed as a policy to give more flexibility to workers, in reality it is a smoke-and-mirrors proposal that trades guaranteed flexibility or time off for a pay cut. It is an empty GOP promise that does nothing to achieve fair work schedules for everyday Americans. Read More

  • 100 Days Of Trump: Delivering For The Extreme Religious Right

    This was originally posted at Right Wing Watch. President Trump’s first 100 days in office, judging by his own campaign promises, have been a disaster, with his administration bogged down by scandals, infighting, and ineptitude. While Trump has now complained that the 100-day benchmark he set for… Read More

  • Gorsuch Post-Hearing Report

  • Gorsuch Evades Questions on Children with Disabilities

    This morning, a unanimous Supreme Court rejected Judge Neil Gorsuch’s formula that lowers the bar on what schools must do to educate children with disabilities.  Since this happened while senators were questioning him at his confirmation hearing, it provided an excellent opportunity to discuss why Gorsuch had adopted an… Read More

  • GOP Belittled ABA Rating for Obama’s SCOTUS Nominees

    During Neil Gorsuch’s committee hearings this week and the debate to follow, we can expect Republicans to echo one of the major talking points: a panel of the American Bar Association deemed him “well qualified,” their highest rating. (The same rating, it should be noted, received by President Obama’s nominee,… Read More

  • Quotes by Your Senators about the Neil Gorsuch Nomination

    Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch is an extreme candidate chosen from a list handpicked by extreme right-wing groups.

  • The Dissents of Judge Neil Gorsuch: Far to the Right and Out of the Mainstream

  • Gorsuch’s Approach to the Law Would Make Him a Dangerous Justice

    Who is Neil Gorsuch? Most people had never heard of him until Tuesday night, when President Trump introduced him to the nation as his nominee to the Supreme Court. The far right loves Gorsuch because they see him as being nearly identical to Justice Scalia, whom they portray as the… Read More

  • Trump’s Final Four?

    President Trump has stated that he will announce his Supreme Court nominee next Thursday, February 2. Reports are that the choice is down to four white male appellate court judges, all of whom are far-right candidates recommended by the right-wing Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation, and each of whom would… Read More
