Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the Korean Peninsula on Thursday as the vice president's trip to Asia concludes. The heavily-fortified buffer zone, which separates North and South Korea, is Harris's final stop on the diplomatic trip. The gesture of visiting the DMZ is designed to illustrate America's "rock-solid commitment" to regional security, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. The vice president is expected to discuss nuclear threats from North Korea and Washington's commitment to assist South Korea with defense measures. Shortly before the DMZ visit, Harris met with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and praised the U.S.-South Korean alliance as a "linchpin of … [Read more...] about Vice President Kamala Harris visits DMZ after North Korea missile launches

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A broadly smiling California Gov. Gavin Newsom joined about two dozen jubilant, cheering farmworkers camped outside the state Capitol Wednesday to sign one of the most contentious bills before him this year, reversing course on a measure to help farmworkers unionize after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris supported it. The White House support pinned Newsom in a difficult political position after his office announced before Democratic lawmakers sent him the bill that he would not sign it. But Newsom approved the bill only after he, the United Farm Workers and the California Labor Federation agreed on clarifying language to be considered during next year’s legislative session to address his concerns around implementation and voting integrity. The new law gives California farmworkers, who harvest much of the nation’s … [Read more...] about California governor approves farmworker unionization law

As if the road to securing the U.S. Senate were not precarious enough for Republicans, Lindsey Graham recently blasted a crater into their path. His Washington-centric, 15-week limit on abortions swallowed whole the “Let the states decide!” sword that the GOP has wielded against the now-vacated Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. “When the Dobbs decision came down, the proponents of that decision said [they] just want to leave it to the states,” Vice President Kamala Harris told Vice News on Friday, firing the howitzer shell that Graham gift-wrapped for her. “Within about 12 weeks now, they want a national ban , which means they are moving the goalposts, right? They are now saying there should be a national ban, a blanket ban in all states.” The South Carolina Republican senator’s proposal is tight enough to enrage abortion lovers like Harris yet loose enough to demoralize pro-life purists such as conservative commentor Carrie Sheffield. She wrote for NBCNews.com: “Graham is … [Read more...] about MURDOCK: Lindsey Graham’s Abortion Blunder Is A Gift-Wrapped Howitzer Shell To Dems Just Weeks Before Midterms

SACRAMENTO — After previously indicating he might veto the measure, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law Wednesday that will make it easier for agricultural laborers to join unions, a hard-fought win for the United Farm Workers. The signature came after union members and their supporters made a 335-mile pilgrimage from Delano, Calif., to Sacramento and then camped out in front of the state Capitol for weeks as dignitaries visited — a vivid and theatrical display of political heft. Adding to the pressure, President Biden took the unusual step of inserting himself into state politics, releasing a statement over Labor Day weekend urging Newsom to enact the law, known as Assembly Bill 2183. Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) also joined the chorus.
