Progressive Views: Water Bills at This Year’s TxLege
A recent Greater Edwards Aquifer seminar summarized which water-related bills passed and did not pass during the Texas Legislature’s last session.
Progressive Views: Antisemitism Must End
We have recently seen two horrendous attacks on innocent Jewish people. The attacks expressed continued hatred of the Jews by many Americans. This coupled with a 360% surge in anti-Jewish hate in the U.S. according to the ADL, and a rise in political violence in the U.S. as evidenced by the assassination of Melissa Hortman, means we must condemn antisemitism and all forms of hatred and bigotry.
Progressive Views: Buy American
In the 40 years since manufacturing employment peaked, industry has struggled to regain the prominence it once had. Sizeable job losses occurred within durable goods manufacturing. CEO compensation has shot up over 1000% versus a typical worker who has seen only a 24% increase. The current administration’s attacks on workers’ rights and dismantling of critical federal agencies have left workers with fewer rights and have put the U.S. economy on a path toward an economic downturn.

Under Republican leaders, the rich have gotten richer and the poor, poorer. It’s time to vote for Harris and choose a president worthy of the position whose policies will reverse income inequality and push high-wage jobs and sustainable manufacturing.
