BREAKING: Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. The entire text of the bill reads "The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is repealed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is abolished."
What this bill would mean is the complete elimination of federal workplace safety protections. Millions of jobs in numerous states where the state-level protections are below the federal minimums would immediately become more dangerous.
I crash out probably twice a day. They are IN every possible position in our government.

Jeremy Carl, who President Donald Trump has tapped as assistant secretary of state for international organizations, forgot that the internet
Lisa Needham at Daily Kos:
Jeremy Carl, who President Donald Trump has tapped as assistant secretary of state for international organizations, forgot that the internet is forever.
Despite his best efforts to mass delete his history of racist, violent social media posts, CNN found scores of Carl’s tweets on the Wayback Machine, and they’re not great. But, of course, we know full well that’s not going to matter, as this is an administration committed to letting people like Carl call for violence while insisting that the left is the real problem.
Carl’s Twitter account was filled with praise for the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, who he called “political prisoners,” yet somehow the insurrection was actually a military coup organized by Nancy Pelosi?
Besides his passionate defense of treason, Carl’s Twitter account was a hotbed of racism and calls for violence.
Yes, violence. There’s no other way to describe Carl’s call for Randi Weingarten, American Federation of Teachers president, to be “tried for crimes against America’s children” and to “get the death penalty.” This was in the context of a dispute over closing schools due to COVID-19, so definitely a cool and normal thing to demand state-sanctioned killing over.
Carl also declared that there was no “peaceful coexistence” with “people like this,” referring to a totally anodyne post from former Rep. Cori Bush honoring Juneteenth.
Carl deeply, deeply hates Black people, calling Juneteenth “race hustling and white shaming,” and he was furious that there weren’t more white Christians in the Biden administration.
Somehow, none of this is a problem for the ostensibly very tender ears of the Trump administration, so very attuned to the slightest bad word about Charlie Kirk.
An unnamed official defended Carl to CNN by saying, “He’s never called for political violence. We look forward to Jeremy Carl’s contributions in support of the America First foreign policy agenda where he will ensure we are bringing international organizations back to their core mandates.”
[...]
And Darren Beattie, now in a top State Department role, said that “competent white men must be in charge” and that Black people need to “take a knee to MAGA.”
Similarly, Paul Ingrassia, who now heads the Office of Special Counsel, called on Trump to “declare martial law” after he lost the 2020 election and said that Mike Pence belonged in the “ninth circle of hell.”
Trump picks terrible nincompoops to lead, and Jeremy Carl is the latest of a long line.
