John is joined by Michigan Democratic congresswoman Debbie Dingell to discuss the razor's edge race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for the Great Lake State's 15 electoral votes. Although national Democrats have recently begun to fret about Harris's standing in Michigan, Dingell—who was the among the first in 2016 to call out Hillary Clinton's fatal weaknesses there—explains that she's believed that the VP's position in the state has always been precarious; how Harris finally found her voice on the manufacturing economy; how her jousting with Brett Baier on Fox News revealed a key part of “the real Kamala;” and how, to close the sale in Michigan, Harris needs to set caution aside and “talk turkey” to blue-collar voters about a Trump agenda certain to sell them out and ship even more of their jobs to China.

The Dingell-Johnson Act: A Pillar of American Wildlife Conservation Introduction The Dingell-Johnson Act, officially known as the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, is a cornerstone of wildlife conservation in the United States. Enacted in 1950, this legislation has played a crucial role in the management and preservation of fish and aquatic resources. Here we explore the history of the Dingell-Johnson Act, its purpose, and the mechanisms by which it funds wildlife conservation. Historical Context The mid-20th century was a period of significant environmental awareness and legislative action in the United States. Following the success of the Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937, which provided federal aid for wildlife restoration projects, there was a growing recognition of the need to address the conservation of aquatic resources. The Dingell-Johnson Act was introduced to extend similar support to fisheries and aquatic habitats. Named after its primary sponsors, Congressman John Dingell of Michigan and Senator Edwin Johnson of Colorado, the act was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on August 9, 1950. The legislation aimed to create a dedicated funding source for state-level fishery management and conservation projects, ensuring the sustainable use of America's aquatic resources. Purpose and Provisions The primary goal of the Dingell-Johnson Act is to restore and manage fish populations and aquatic habitats for the benefit of both recreational anglers and the general public. The act provides federal grants to state fish and wildlife agencies for various projects, including efforts to improve and restore aquatic habitats, stocking public waters with fish to enhance recreational fishing, conducting scientific research and surveys to better understand fish populations and ecosystems, enhancing public access to fishing waters through the development of infrastructure such as boat ramps and piers, and promoting conservation education and outreach programs to foster public awareness and support for fishery conservation. Funding Mechanism The Dingell-Johnson Act is funded through a unique and sustainable mechanism that relies on excise taxes on fishing equipment and motorboat fuels. Specifically, the act imposes a federal excise tax on items such as fishing rods, reels, tackle boxes, and other related equipment. Additionally, a portion of the federal fuel tax paid by motorboat users is allocated to the fund. The revenues generated from these taxes are collected by the federal government and deposited into the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. The funds are then apportioned to states based on a formula that considers the number of licensed anglers and the state's land and water area. States must match a portion of the federal funds with their own contributions, typically derived from fishing license fees. Impact on Wildlife Conservation The Dingell-Johnson Act has had a profound impact on wildlife conservation and fisheries management in the United States. Since its enactment, the act has provided billions of dollars in funding for state-level projects. These funds have been instrumental in restoring fish habitats, enhancing recreational fishing opportunities, and conducting vital research. One of the significant achievements of the Dingell-Johnson Act is the successful recovery of many fish species that were once threatened or endangered. For example, the restoration of habitats and careful management practices have led to the resurgence of species such as the striped bass, walleye, and various trout species. Additionally, the act has facilitated the creation and maintenance of numerous public access points, making fishing more accessible to the public and supporting the economic benefits associated with recreational fishing. Moreover, the Dingell-Johnson Act has fostered a strong partnership between federal and state agencies, conservation organizations, and the angling community. This collaborative approach has been essential in addressing complex conservation challenges and ensuring the sustainable management of aquatic resources. Conclusion The Dingell-Johnson Act stands as a testament to the United States' commitment to wildlife conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources. By providing a dedicated and sustainable funding source for fisheries management and conservation projects, the act has made significant contributions to the health and vitality of America's aquatic ecosystems. As we look to the future, the principles and mechanisms established by the Dingell-Johnson Act will continue to play a vital role in preserving the nation's fish and wildlife heritage for generations to come.  

May 30, 2024 ~ U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell joins Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie to talk about the power of collaboration in tackling today's toughest issues.

May 30, 2024 ~ Congresswoman Debbie Dingell tells Paul W. Smith this year's Mackinac Policy Conference theme of "Bridging the Future Together" is important to her because she believes in reaching across the aisle to solve issues that impact Michigan residents.

It is now H.R. 8449, and is being championed by House Members Gus Bilirakis and Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone Jr. as part of an effort to get it to the finish line. The new, marked-up "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act" surfaced earlier this week, and on Thursday a House Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee markup of three bills included discussion of the legislation that would mandate AM radio availability in all new vehicles sold in the U.S.A host of House E&C Committee Members shared their thoughts on the legislation, with a Congresswoman from Detroit noting that while she clearly supports AM radio, she wants a full understanding of the cost to consumers and her constituents representing the domestic automotive industry's biggest companies.This InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, offers audio highlights from the May 23 session — giving you direct access to the future of kHz-band radio from our elected officials in Washington.With no amendments, the bill was forward to the full committee. From here, the House E&C will schedule a discussion and vote on the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, which would then get a likely floor vote in the full U.S. House of Representatives.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Biden almost trips again Joe Biden is showcasing that newfound youth the Left keeps touting. So he's a man about town. And we've become use to what happens when Biden is seen publicly. Biden didn't disappoint. Watch as he trips twice going up the stairs. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1760026442698522740 We've all tripped up a time or two. But our trips are few and far between. And there is almost always a valid reason. We don't pay attention, or something like what happened to me recently when a man on a motorized skateboard tripped as his dog dragged him towards my well-behaved dog. The man took a solid fall, and turnabout being fair play, he barked at his dog. Those trip ups and others like them are expected, and thus easily overlooked. A trip up the stairs once a year, forgivable. One in five tries? Why the big deal over much ado about nothing...supposedly? Before you dismiss this event, understand the bigger picture. Biden mini-tripped. Not once, but twice. An he did this knowing that he is being watched. At a time when Biden has been coached to be more aware and at his most vigilant for obvious reasons. All eyes on him, so his mind tells him, "Don't trip!". However, tripping is in his head, but not like a heckler. Biden now trips, because, well...he just trips. Imagine being in a negotiation with a world leader, and he mentally trips. What trouble could he get us into? Perhaps a proxy war with Russia? Guess what, America. That's what Biden actually did with Russia. And what about when Biden told China that he believes in the One China policy. Tripping is in his nature. Biden can't help but make rookie mistakes. Walking, talking, thinking, even pooping creates a tripping danger. No matter what he is doing, Biden's brain is muddled. And it has been for years. If the Left's strategy is to show Biden publicly, they should get used to his trip ups. Old Man Strategy I reported Biden's campaign wants to limit his on-feet activities and show him seated. Sort of like how Democrats treated Franklin Delanor Roosevelt. They showed him standing, though he could barely stand and rode around in a wheelchair. While Biden could use a wheelchair, Democrats would never let that happen. But their deception is no less scandalous than FDR's. The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/10/us/politics/biden-white-house-aides.html on the cocoon set up by Team Biden. The campaign wants to insulate Biden from public embarrassment. This includes the move to take Biden up the short stairs while boarding the presidential aircraft. But they went further after Biden did the "louie" on stage at the Air Force Academy. According to the Times, "Now, there is a Secret Service agent positioned at the bottom of the stairs when he disembarks." So Dr. Jill takes Biden up 2-3 steps on to stages. Then when Biden completes his activity, either Dr. Jill or another Biden handler retrieves the old demented clown. And they think they are hiding this? [SEGMENT 1-2] Plan B Fresh off https://theblacksphere.net/2024/02/biden-trips-on-stairs-again/ again, the new and unimproved Joe Biden was met by a gaggle of reporters as he prepared to face more stairs. As Biden said not long ago about his abilities, "Watch me." And America obliged. We are watching. Moreover, finally the press corps is watching. In a recent Biden sighting, one reporter asked the geriatric, "You're going to California. Is this about coming up with a Plan B for 2024 — does Gavin need to standby?" https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1760009471101735249 Clearly at this press gaggle, Biden should have let his teleprompter sunglasses do the talking. He wears those sunglasses often, because he's told they make him look cool. But this time, Biden didn't trust the message being displayed in his Google glasses, and decided to go it alone with his response. His answer to the pesky reporter? Biden answered the question with a question: "Are you ready?" Mind blown! How profound was that? Are you ready? I put that response up there with "eloquent and clean", Biden's historic comments about Barack Obama. But Biden wasn't done. He eloquently as ever continued his response: "Well I'm looking for— I'm looking at you. We're looking at you." Since there was no Bidenspeak interpreter on hand, we must leave you to interpret this as you wish. Continuing, the reporters waited for Biden to deliver on his question. The anticipation of what would the man described as essentially too old and stupid to prosecute for crimes gave reporters their answer. Biden channeled his inner Shakespeare and added: "Wai whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..." Maybe Biden should not use a teleprompter from now on, given that inspiring message. One social media commenter noted the sunglasses. Such confidence and clarity! Also he's so cool with those glasses! NOT In addressing the "Well I'm at you" statement by Biden, one person who commented on the video suspected, Biden was told to go to one specific reporter in the front row who would asked the softball question Biden prepped for. Instead, Biden got derailed by the question from a reporter at the back, then Biden went off the rails. Another video commenter explained, It's like he had practiced a "we're looking at you, Republicans" line, and then completely forgot what/how/where/why he was supposed to say it. When the Media attacks Biden has been under fire from his previously trustworthy and fawning press. Up until recently, the press has given Biden a pass. However, in his latest appearances, Biden has been called to task over his age and polling. Dozens of videos now exist of reporters confronting Biden on his age and cognitive ability. Reporters have every right to ask these questions of any head of state, but particularly Biden. Check out the video below, and judge Biden's mental state for yourself: Here are five straight minutes that show exactly why the special counsel noted Biden's diminished mental fitness https://t.co/u1ToosAKyz — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1756551610308702692?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw I've stated openly and often that Democrats have https://theblacksphere.net/2024/02/joe-biden-gone-by-the-end-of-feb/. They selected him for the coup of Trump in 2020, in spite of Biden being a horrible choice. However, look at who was left. Well over a dozen candidates, and the elites who run America chose the defective and corrupt Joe Biden to serve as their flunky. Sadly for them, Joe Biden is too demented to represent them. The elites want candidates they can control, but the candidate must be able to play the part. Biden's acting days are over. Send in the clowns I believe Democrats have already selected Gavin Newsom as heir-apparent to the throne. But like Biden, Newsom https://theblacksphere.net/2023/11/gavin-newsom-admits-clean-up-his-act/. And he faces headwinds, because Sista Girl Harris won't give it up easily. I know, consider the irony of Harris not giving anything up for political gain. Psst. Since Biden won't last much longer, the Democrats should prepare America and the world for their sh*t show. On the other side of the aisle however, things are looking good for Trump. Goldman Sachs CEO as well as a Silicon Valley billionaire have essentially warned Democrats to reconsider Trump. And stop underestimating the MAGA movement. In a sign of the shift in the black vote, Snoop Dogg https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrjfQcx6dVl7rAC.K9XNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNncTEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1709727282/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.huffpost.com%2fentry%2fsnoop-dogg-donald-trump-love-and-respect_n_65b62718e4b077c17ab57ae8/RK=2/RS=6.yvpkqgVS7ITf_GTBQ4u1qNJL0-, and recently kissed the ring. Snoop said he has no problem with Trump; pretty much a ringing endorsement. Red flags wave everywhere, for Democrats as do white flags. Former anti-Trumpers recognize the Democrats for who they are. Abusers. And in the case of Biden, elder abusers. [SEGMENT 1-3] The Age Old Question Joe Biden is old and senile and Democrats hate that American know it. They hate that American citizens are discussing Biden's old age. How dare we question if the person in charge of the country is too old. But what of his senility? Apparently Democrats can't multitask. So for now, they are just concerned about his age. So for now, let's focus on Democrats not wanting to discuss obvious albatross. Biden is really f'g old, and not chronologically. Biden big problem is how he handles his age. Answer: like an old fogey. And if you're thinking, "Marlarkey!", then you're on the right track. Biden is at least 20 years older than his chronological age; and that's being generous. Biden looks like death eating a cracker. I've been critical of Biden's age, and for all the right reasons. I would have been critical of anybody in charge of the nation who acts like Biden. The most amazing part of all of this is that Democrats don't seem to mind that a complete idiot is in charge of the country. Worse, a few of them want 4 more years of this clown. Well, 4 more years of the people who control Biden. Aiding the Elderly Democrats to the rescue of the geriatric. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) said Monday she is “sick and tired” of the discussion about Biden's age. And in the spirit of Trump Derangement Syndrome, Dingell declared that she has no problem with Biden running the country from the cuckoo's nest, as long as Trump is not reelected for his rightful second term. So what polling shows that Biden's age registers as a top concern among 2024 v

Gretchen Whitmer, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Ann Arbor), U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), U.S. Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and other Michigan leaders at the UAW union hall in Warren in Macomb County to celebrate the union's accomplishments in the last year and its endorsement of Biden's reelection campaign.Biden told UAW members “Supporting you is the easiest thing I've ever done. The single biggest reason why we have unions growing, the single biggest reason the economy is growing … because you are the best workers in the world.” Michigan is expected to play a key role in the November general election, as Biden looks to win the state again. This is the second time in recent months that Biden has come to Michigan to talk with UAW members. He became the first sitting U.S. president in modern history to visit a picket line in September during a historic strike against Detroit's “Big Three” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. UAW President Shawn Fain announced the union's endorsement of Biden's campaign on Jan. 24 and drew a sharp comparison between Biden and GOP frontrunner former President Donald Trump.“Rarely as a union do you get so clear of a choice between two candidates. It's not about who you like, it's not about your party, it's not about this b—–t about age. It's not about anything but our best shot at taking back power for the working class.”In September, Trump also traveled to Michigan during the UAW strike, but he visited a non-union plant in Macomb County where he advised the UAW to endorse him for president.Trump said, “Shawn, endorse Trump and you can take a nice two-month vacation, come back, and you guys are going to be better than you ever were. The other way, you won't have a vacation, Shawn. And in a short period of time, you're not going to have a union. You're not going to have jobs. You're not going to have anything.”“Trump is a scab,” Fain said recently. “Donald Trump stands against everything the UAW stands for. When you go back to our core issues — Wages. Retirement. Health care. Time. That's what this election is about,” Fain said. “Instead of talking trash about our union, Joe Biden stood with us.”By November, the UAW ratified new contracts with all three companies that included significant worker raises, an end to the tiered wage system and improvements to the automakers' retirement benefits. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Biden is a “jobs president,” “Under President Biden, we've seen 14 million jobs created, including 800,000 manufacturing jobs, which is more than any president in a single termBiden wrapped up his time at the union hall calling Whitmer “the best governor in the country” and Dingell a “fighter.” To the UAW Workers in Warren he said, “Thank you and the whole country owes you,” Biden said to the UAW workers in Warren. “You're not only helping auto workers, you're helping every worker in the world.”Oklahoma Teachers Likely To Keep Bonus Moneyhttps://oklahomavoice.com/2024/01/31/oklahoma-teachers-may-not-have-to-return-errant-bonuses-walters-says/OKLAHOMA CITY — State Superintendent Ryan Walters said Wednesday errant bonuses his administration paid to educators might not have to be clawed back.In a press conference he called to accuse reporters of lying about the situation, Walters said the Oklahoma State Department of Education is coordinating with the teachers who wrongly received signing bonuses to find another solution. He said that could include longer contractual commitments in exchange for keeping the money.“There is a path forward that does not require a payback from those teachers,” Walters said.But at least one affected teacher got no such promise, her attorney, Mark Hammons, said.Oklahoma County teacher Kristina Stadelman heard from the state agency in the past two days, informing her a Feb. 29 deadline for repayment no longer applied, Hammons said.But that included no guarantee she would never have to repay the bonus, he said, and that's why she joined a lawsuit on Wednesday to challenge the demand.“They extended the time for the deadline and said they were looking into other possibilities,” Hammons said. “We don't know what that means, and they didn't explain that to her, but they certainly made no promise that she wouldn't have to pay back all or any portion of that money.”Both of Hammons' clients, Stadelman and Osage County teacher Kay Bojorquez, said they were awarded $50,000 bonuses in the fall from a teacher recruitment program Walters created last year. Colorado's New Coal Mine… Maybehttps://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/environmental-groups-epa-colorado-coal-mine/Conservation groups are asking EPA to block permit for new coal mine in coloradoTwo conservation groups have formally petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to intervene in state air-quality regulators' decision to issue an operating permit to Colorado's largest remaining coal mine.Colorado's Air Pollution Control Division issued the permit to the West Elk Mine in Gunnison County in December, more than six months after a federal judge's ruling that the agency had illegally delayed its decision on whether to approve or deny the permit, which a subsidiary of mine owner Arch Coal first applied for in 2020.But two of the groups involved in that litigation, the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians, call the permit issued by the APCD a “free pass” that doesn't do enough to limit emissions of volatile organic compounds, a class of hazardous air pollutants, or methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.Iowa Lawmakers Keep Protections for Gender Identity In Law… after considering taking it awayhttps://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/01/31/iowa-house-lawmakers-reject-bill-to-remove-gender-identity-protections-from-iowa-civil-rights-law/Protection of “gender identity” under the Iowa Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in areas like employment, housing, education or public accommodations. Under the proposal, a diagnosis of “gender dysphoria or any condition related to a gender identity disorder” would be classified a disability under Iowa Code – another protected class under the civil rights act.Aime Wichtendahl, a Hiawatha City Council member, criticized lawmakers for considering legislation that would make Iowa the first state in the country to remove civil rights protections for a group of citizens. Missouri Speaker Plochs Another One Into The Bowlhttps://missouriindependent.com/briefs/embattled-missouri-house-speaker-dean-plocher-dismisses-another-top-staffer/Embattled Mo House Speaker Dean Plocher has lost another staff member https://missouriindependent.com/briefs/embattled-missouri-house-speaker-dean-plocher-dismisses-another-top-staffer/Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher fired his legislative director Wednesday, the latest in a series of departures from his office as he continues to face an ethics investigation into allegations of unlawful conduct. Erica Choinka had worked for the Missouri House since 2016, first as a legislative assistant and then as legislative director for former Speakers Elijah Haahr and Rob Vescovo. She continued to serve under Plocher until Wednesday, when she was fired. Choinka declined to comment, and a spokesman for Plocher did not immediately respond to an email about the dismissal. The staff shakeup follows the firing of Plocher's chief of staff in October and the resignation of his chief legal counsel in November. And it comes as an ethics inquiry into his alleged misconduct enters its fourth month. The investigation was launched late last year after The Independent reported that Plocher on numerous occasions over the years illegally sought reimbursement from the legislature for airfare, hotels and other travel costs already paid for by his campaign. In each instance, Plocher was required to sign a sworn statement declaring that the payments were made with “personal funds, for which I have not been reimbursed.”Finally… In another story out of Missouri, sorry, that's Kansas, no wait, my bad from Iowa, oh, nope, that's Oklahoma… wait, Indiana, or… was this Ohio? Ah, I see now - from Kentucky…GOP supermajority: Silly, unserious, unconcerned by Kentuckians' real problemsAuthor: Teri Carterhttps://kentuckylantern.com/2024/02/01/gop-supermajority-silly-unserious-unconcerned-by-kentuckians-real-problems/On Jan. 31, I began my day reading a story that opened with a stunning sentence. “Some residents of a county in Kentucky are going on two weeks without running water, forcing them to use public toilets and catch rainwater to bathe.”As I was reading this news, a 7:31 a.m. tweet popped up from Rep. Josh Calloway. “Actually, what it means to be a good parent is to tell your children the truth. The truth is men are men, women are women, and neither can become the other. The truth is, they were not born in the wrong body, they are perfect just the way God made them. It is Evil to lie to children.”Yes, this is anecdotal, but it is also reflective of a maddening reality. We are one-third through the all-important budget session of our 2024 General Assembly, and the GOP supermajority in Frankfort is wasting their days focused on problems we do not have and, well, sex. Always sex. @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Post)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Post) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

That's what this election is about,” Fain said. “Instead of talking trash about our union, Joe Biden stood with us.”By November, the UAW ratified new contracts with all three companies that included significant worker raises, an end to the tiered wage system and improvements to the automakers' retirement benefits. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Biden is a “jobs president,” “Under President Biden, we've seen 14 million jobs created, including 800,000 manufacturing jobs, which is more than any president in a single termBiden wrapped up his time at the union hall calling Whitmer “the best governor in the country” and Dingell a “fighter.” To the UAW Workers in Warren he said, “Thank you and the whole country owes you,” Biden said to the UAW workers in Warren. “You're not only helping auto workers, you're helping every worker in the world.”Oklahoma Teachers Likely To Keep Bonus Moneyhttps://oklahomavoice.com/2024/01/31/oklahoma-teachers-may-not-have-to-return-errant-bonuses-walters-says/OKLAHOMA CITY — State Superintendent Ryan Walters said Wednesday errant bonuses his administration paid to educators might not have to be clawed back.In a press conference he called to accuse reporters of lying about the situation, Walters said the Oklahoma State Department of Education is coordinating with the teachers who wrongly received signing bonuses to find another solution. He said that could include longer contractual commitments in exchange for keeping the money.“There is a path forward that does not require a payback from those teachers,” Walters said.But at least one affected teacher got no such promise, her attorney, Mark Hammons, said.Oklahoma County teacher Kristina Stadelman heard from the state agency in the past two days, informing her a Feb. 29 deadline for repayment no longer applied, Hammons said.But that included no guarantee she would never have to repay the bonus, he said, and that's why she joined a lawsuit on Wednesday to challenge the demand.“They extended the time for the deadline and said they were looking into other possibilities,” Hammons said. “We don't know what that means, and they didn't explain that to her, but they certainly made no promise that she wouldn't have to pay back all or any portion of that money.”Both of Hammons' clients, Stadelman and Osage County teacher Kay Bojorquez, said they were awarded $50,000 bonuses in the fall from a teacher recruitment program Walters created last year. Colorado's New Coal Mine… Maybehttps://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/environmental-groups-epa-colorado-coal-mine/Conservation groups are asking EPA to block permit for new coal mine in coloradoTwo conservation groups have formally petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to intervene in state air-quality regulators' decision to issue an operating permit to Colorado's largest remaining coal mine.Colorado's Air Pollution Control Division issued the permit to the West Elk Mine in Gunnison County in December, more than six months after a federal judge's ruling that the agency had illegally delayed its decision on whether to approve or deny the permit, which a subsidiary of mine owner Arch Coal first applied for in 2020.But two of the groups involved in that litigation, the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians, call the permit issued by the APCD a “free pass” that doesn't do enough to limit emissions of volatile organic compounds, a class of hazardous air pollutants, or methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.Iowa Lawmakers Keep Protections for Gender Identity In Law… after considering taking it awayhttps://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/01/31/iowa-house-lawmakers-reject-bill-to-remove-gender-identity-protections-from-iowa-civil-rights-law/Protection of “gender identity” under the Iowa Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in areas like employment, housing, education or public accommodations. Under the proposal, a diagnosis of “gender dysphoria or any condition related to a gender identity disorder” would be classified a disability under Iowa Code – another protected class under the civil rights act.Aime Wichtendahl, a Hiawatha City Council member, criticized lawmakers for considering legislation that would make Iowa the first state in the country to remove civil rights protections for a group of citizens. Missouri Speaker Plochs Another One Into The Bowlhttps://missouriindependent.com/briefs/embattled-missouri-house-speaker-dean-plocher-dismisses-another-top-staffer/Embattled Mo House Speaker Dean Plocher has lost another staff member https://missouriindependent.com/briefs/embattled-missouri-house-speaker-dean-plocher-dismisses-another-top-staffer/Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher fired his legislative director Wednesday, the latest in a series of departures from his office as he continues to face an ethics investigation into allegations of unlawful conduct. Erica Choinka had worked for the Missouri House since 2016, first as a legislative assistant and then as legislative director for former Speakers Elijah Haahr and Rob Vescovo. She continued to serve under Plocher until Wednesday, when she was fired. Choinka declined to comment, and a spokesman for Plocher did not immediately respond to an email about the dismissal. The staff shakeup follows the firing of Plocher's chief of staff in October and the resignation of his chief legal counsel in November. And it comes as an ethics inquiry into his alleged misconduct enters its fourth month. The investigation was launched late last year after The Independent reported that Plocher on numerous occasions over the years illegally sought reimbursement from the legislature for airfare, hotels and other travel costs already paid for by his campaign. In each instance, Plocher was required to sign a sworn statement declaring that the payments were made with “personal funds, for which I have not been reimbursed.”Finally… In another story out of Missouri, sorry, that's Kansas, no wait, my bad from Iowa, oh, nope, that's Oklahoma… wait, Indiana, or… was this Ohio? Ah, I see now - from Kentucky…GOP supermajority: Silly, unserious, unconcerned by Kentuckians' real problemsAuthor: Teri Carterhttps://kentuckylantern.com/2024/02/01/gop-supermajority-silly-unserious-unconcerned-by-kentuckians-real-problems/On Jan. 31, I began my day reading a story that opened with a stunning sentence. “Some residents of a county in Kentucky are going on two weeks without running water, forcing them to use public toilets and catch rainwater to bathe.”As I was reading this news, a 7:31 a.m. tweet popped up from Rep. Josh Calloway. “Actually, what it means to be a good parent is to tell your children the truth. The truth is men are men, women are women, and neither can become the other. The truth is, they were not born in the wrong body, they are perfect just the way God made them. It is Evil to lie to children.”Yes, this is anecdotal, but it is also reflective of a maddening reality. We are one-third through the all-important budget session of our 2024 General Assembly, and the GOP supermajority in Frankfort is wasting their days focused on problems we do not have and, well, sex.

Republicans have long been expecting a victorious ‘Red Wave' to hit come November, as many American voters become increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with soaring inflation and President Biden's performance. Though, in a turn of events, Democrats have recently made slight gains in the generic Congressional ballot, leading many Democrats to gain new confidence, and prompting many Republicans to urge voters to show up come November. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) joins the Rundown to discuss why she believes voters should choose candidates willing to work across the aisle, regardless of their party affiliation. She also breaks down the new Inflation Reduction Act and tells us what issues are on the forefront of Michigan voters' minds.   The United States' incarceration rate is the highest in the world, with roughly 2 million people currently serving time behind bars. Jesse Wiese was once part of that statistic. He was arrested at the age of 21 for robbing a bank and spent the next 10 years of his life in prison. Now, he works as the Vice President of Program Design and Evaluation at the nonprofit, Prison Fellowship, using his experience to better the lives of those both in and out of prison. He joins the Rundown to discuss his arrest, and how serving time led him to his current career. He also explains why creating more opportunities for those who are incarcerated can help them to become better citizens once they're released.   Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce.

Aaron and Bill sit down with David Willms and Mike Butler to discuss the recently introduced the RETURN Act and how it would dismantle the world's most successful conservation program and begin a cascade effect that would set back America conservation in myriad ways. We walk through a refresher on the Pittman-Robertson Act – what it is, how it works, why it is so successful and why we need to protect by all means possible. Then we pivot to the RETURN Act – what it is, why it came about, how terrible it would be for American conservation and why we need to step up to stop it dead in its tracks.

Earth911 explores the health implications and regulation of a substance that pollutes our food, water, and environment, Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, with Lauren Olson, Zero Waste Manager at World Centric. Lauren shares how PFAS are used in food service items, waterproof clothing and other products, as well as the challenges they create when composting products. PFAS have been associated with many health problems, including immune system disorders, high blood pressure, liver disease and kidney and testicular cancer. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill from Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell to regulate and require labels on products and packaging that contain PFAS, which are also known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down for decades or centuries in landfills, compost piles or the environment. Take a few minutes to learn about the status of Rep. Dingell's legislation, the sources of opposition, and how to recognize when a product might contain PFAS.

Michigan needs more vaccines. That's the word from Congresswoman Debbie Dingell who talked with WWJ's Roberta Jasina and Charlie Langton about the vaccinations and Paczki Day this morning.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In recent days, top members of the Biden administration have a startling admission: That millions of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were lost somewhere in the system. So now, the race is on to track down all of the vials. “This is the number one priority within the Biden administration right now is finding doses and making sure they don't go to waste before they start to ramp up supply through other means,” Erin Banco, The Daily Beast’s lead reporter on the COVID beat, tells Molly Jong-Fast on The New Abnormal.“Their rhetoric right now has been, ‘we have only been here for X amount of days, please give us time. This is not easy.’ I think they're only going to be able to use that excuse for so long. Like, look, you're in government. This is your job. Yeah, these things take time—especially coordinating them across all the States and territories when everyone has a different distribution plan. It’s a slog. But from what I hear, the CDC should have a better idea of where things stand this week,” Banco adds.  And while the scramble to find the doses continues, the aftermath of the Jan. 6 insurrection still lingers—especially for those who were there in the Capitol as the MAGA mob raged. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) tells Molly about her harrowing experience. “There's pounding at the doors. Officers are yelling at people and saying ‘make sure those doors are secured,’” Dingell recounts. “My colleagues were taking benches and chairs and helping secure the doors. And we were told to sit in our chairs, pull out our escape hoods, which are the gas masks. And that if we were told to kneel, we needed to do so right away, because there could be some shooting. It still seems surreal.”Finally, Rick Wilson addresses the revelation that John Weaver, one of his fellow co-founders of the Lincoln Project, sent unwanted, sexually explicit messages to people as young as 14. “If we had been aware of this, if I had been aware of this, I would not for a second have hesitated to report John Weaver to law enforcement. I would have done it in a hot minute,” Wilson says.“I am sickened at his behavior and I'm sickened that we fell for a deception of this scope and scale. And I'm sickened by the fact that a predatory person tried to use our organization and our mission to exploit it for personal reasons,” Wilson adds. “It's a group that shares, we share a very firm belief in accountability, Okay. And I think John should be held accountable.”If you haven't heard, every single week The New Abnormal does a special bonus episode for Beast Inside, the Daily Beast’s membership program. where Sometimes we interview Senators like Cory Booker or the folks who explain our world in media like Jim Acosta or Soledad O’Brien.

Buckle up. Electric vehicle sales are expected to take a big hit this year amid the current health and economic crisis. Industry analysts say the long-term prospects for EVs remain strong, but the jury’s still out on how quickly the market will rebound. The EV market outlook could have a major impact on the U.S. economy overall. Boosting government investment in clean transportation is being championed by advocates and several lawmakers as a way to put Americans back to work and build out of the coronavirus downturn. The EV growth trajectory will also have a direct impact on whether or not the U.S. will be able to achieve the goal of net zero emissions by 2050.In the sixth episode of Political Climate's monthly “Path to Zero” series, supported by the public policy think tank Third Way, we discuss what it will take to decarbonize the transportation sector, with a focus on accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles. We speak to Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, representative for Michigan's 12th congressional district, about what it will take to reboot the American automotive industry and get the U.S. EV market back on track coming out of the economic recession.We also speak to James “Jim” Chen, vice president of public policy at the high-profile electric vehicle startup Rivian. The Detroit-based company set out on a mission to “keep the world adventurous” by building rugged, long-range, high-performance electric trucks and SUVs. Rivian’s R1T and R1S have generated a lot of fanfare (and raised a lot of money).

The fallout of the 2016 election focused so much on three states - Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. These states barely went to Donald Trump but were expected to vote for Hillary Clinton. Since then, Democrats have made big moves in all three states. Now, Washtenaw County Commissioner Jason Morgan joins the You Should Run Podcast to talk about the evolving politics in his state, his own moves to protect residents during the COVID-19 outbreak and how this brought him into a public moment with President Trump, and his goals to help his county and his state beyond the current pandemic.  In this episode, Jason Morgan talks about promoting more young people in politics, gaining allies who believe in good government, shaping the politics of the future in the aftermath of COVID-19, his early work with the Dingell family, and more.

Donald Trump likes to talk a lot about being a wartime president. But wartime presidents lead by example and inspire the country to set aside politics to focus on a common goal. This week, Trump is headed to Michigan to view how the state went from being the arsenal of democracy in the 40s to the "arsenal of health" today. According to Rep. Debbie Dingell who represents Michigan's 12th Congressional District, factory workers will be watching closely as they know the right example and practices are key to opening factories and restoring their livelihoods. Dingell joins us for a special conversation about the crisis, the solution she thinks is required (infrastructure plays a big role), and how Trump is likely to fare in that key battleground state later this year. She's felt the brunt of this national disaster in very personal ways and her passion about the urgency of recovery is palpable throughout our conversation. Do not miss it.

Congressional Update with Jeff Crane and Miles Moretti – Season 3 Episode 1 – February 3 On our first episode of our third season, we’re talking with Jeff Crane and Miles Moretti to get an update on what happened in Congress and the Administration for sportsmen in 2019. We start by hearing about S. 47, the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act – a compilation of many bills related to conservation and sportsmen’s priorities – that was enacted into law last year. A key issue for sportsmen that was included in this package was ensuring that federal public lands are open to hunting, shooting, and fishing unless specifically closed. In addition, it included permanent authorization for the Land and Water Conservation Fund including a provision that will ensure a portion of this funding is dedicated to providing access points to federal lands. We also learn about the American Conservation Enhancement (ACE) Act which passed out of the Senate unanimously on a voice vote in January. This bill includes authorizations or re-authorizations for several important conservation programs like the National Fish Habitat Partnership, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and more. Another bill organizations are focused on is the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act which would provide a substantial increase in funding to state fish and wildlife agencies. Jeff and Miles also give us an update on the efforts of the Hunting and Shooting Sports Conservation Council to advise the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior on key sportsmen’s issues including on migration corridors and CWD. Our last discussion is about the network of groups that work together through the American Wildlife Conservation Partners to provide information to presidential campaigns on key priorities to the sportsmen’s community. We wrap up by giving you the information you need to be engaged on these policy issues!

The Distinguished Lady from Michigan, Debbie Dingell has proposed a bit of legislation to help EV adoption. On one hand, I'm glad that we are still pushing for EV adoption, but I'm unsure about the language of the bill.

The Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937 provides critical funding to state wildlife agencies (paid by hunters and recreational shooters) to manage wildlife.

In the shadow of public impeachment hearings, a group of House Democrats is attempting to advance a bold climate action plan that the entire party can rally around. On Thursday, House members introduced legislation that would set a nationwide goal of achieving a 100 percent clean energy economy by 2050. The bill was announced with more than 150 co-sponsors.In this episode of Political Climate, we conduct an exclusive in-depth interview with one of the bill’s authors, Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY). Tonko serves as chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's environment and climate change subcommittee, where he’s been holding hearings for several weeks to flesh out what a 100 percent clean economy would look like. "There is a lot going on beyond the impeachment inquiries that have begun, and the people need to know that," Tonko said.We ask Rep. Tonko about the newly introduced 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019 and get his outlook on how to get the bill to the president's desk. Plus, we get his thoughts on extending clean energy tax credits and what he makes of the Republican stance on climate policy. (Interview segment begins 13:50)This week’s show opens with a first-hand account of what happened at the California Democratic State Convention, and with takeaways from a lunch with Southern Republican lawmakers touring California for tips on how to grow their local clean energy sectors.

U.S. Representatives Debbie Dingell and Fred Upton visited the Detroit Economic Club and talked about bi-partisan collaboration to address policy issues. In a discussion moderated by WXYZ-TV Channel 7’s Chuck Stokes, Dingell and Upton highlighted initiatives where Republicans and Democrats are working together to improve the lives of Americans. Upton discussed the Problem Solvers Caucus, a bi-partisan group that works together on key policy topics. “The Problem Solvers Caucus is a valuable group for many reasons,” said Upton. “It is equally divided [between] Republicans and Democrats. We meet every week. In fact, we’re going to meet during this recess. There are several issues we can take credit for together. We had this awful thing called the government shutdown for 35 days. Our group was the glue to bring things back together.” Dingell also emphasized the need for more bi-partisanship and described how various Democratic and Republican leaders came together to work on Great Lakes protection. For example, bi-partisan solutions now exist to smart water management including the reduction of invasive species entering the lakes. “We are all very committed to doing what it takes to protect Michigan,” said Dingell. “We do not look at ourselves as Republicans or Democrats. We may be Michiganders and Michiganians, but we are united in protecting our Great Lakes. Even with our colleagues in the other Great Lakes states.” -- Speakers: The Honorable Debbie Dingell U.S. Representative Michigan - 12th District   The Honorable Fred Upton U.S. Representative Michigan - 6th District   Moderator: Chuck Stokes Director, Editorial & Public Affairs WXYZ-TV Channel 7   Presiding Officer: The Honorable Sandy Baruah President & CEO Detroit Regional Chamber
