Congress Trying To Make It Legal For Gay People And Unmarried Women To Be Fired For Having Babies

"...While on one hand, Republicans in Congress want to make it illegal for women to have abortions under any circumstance, on the other hand, they have been busy trying to make it a fireable offense for single women to have babies.  Even married people, and most certainly gay people, who want to have babies via in vitro fertilization would be subject to being fired in Washington D.C..."

To Get Rid Of Mitochondrial Diseases, Just Edit Them Out Of DNA | Popular Science

"...Unlike nucleic DNA, mitochondrial DNA comes only from a baby’s mother and has no control over the baby’s physical characteristics. Mitochondria are the organelles inside cells that are often referred to as “powerhouses” of the cell. Mutations in their DNA can prevent cells from generating the right amount of energy, leading to diseases like muscular dystrophy and organ failure. There is no cure for mitochondrial disease, so DNA manipulation seems like a pretty promising solution..."

Delinquent Mines: Congress Revives Bill To Hold Mine Owners Accountable : The Two-Way : NPR

"...As NPR and Mine Safety Health News reported in November, thousands of mines with unpaid safety penalties had a significantly higher rate of injury and were able to escape payment of $70 million in safety fines. Most fines were years overdue. Some went unpaid for decades.

The Byrd Act would shut down mines that are more than six months late in paying safety penalties or have defaulted on payment plans..."

"...I shouldn't be giving advice to the President since he is on the other side of this Fast Track/TPP fight, but I will anyway: Mr. President, you are badly hurting yourself by escalating this fight with the progressive community over trade. Short term on this issue, and for the long term as well, because after this fight is over you will need your base back on board. As a veteran of the Clinton White House during the NAFTA fight, and a veteran of the self-defeating pissing matches between the Obama White House and progressives in 2009-10, I can tell you, the approach you are taking makes no political sense..."

Levin to Offer TPA Substitute to Put TPP on Right Track

“TPP is too important to leave so many key issues outstanding or needing to be improved and essentially leave out a meaningful role for Congress, which is what the Hatch-Wyden-Ryan TPA bill does,” said Rep. Levin. “This alternative puts the TPP negotiations on the right track, providing a path forward to an agreement that will garner broad, bipartisan support in Congress.”

A 'Path To Yes' On Trade, But Paul Ryan Blocks It | Crooks and Liars

Rep. Sander Levin (D-Mich.), ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, on Thursday offered an alternative, the Right Track for TPP Act of 2015. (Summary here, full text here.) This bill is a fast track process for doing trade right — or at least for modifying the secretly negotiated TPP so it can be somewhat palatable to more of us than just the 1 percent.
