Republican congressmen decided to gut an ethics committee created in 2008. They flip-flopped a day later after fierce constituent opposition in the form of phone calls.

Ford Motor Co. announced plans to cancel a $1.6 (or so) billion plant in Mexico and instead invest $700 million in a plant in Detroit. Word is they made the decision after being promised sweetheart deals, tax breaks and lax health and environmental regulations. Robert Reich also thinks the jobs preserved will be replaced by automation in the near future anyway.
NY governor Andrew Cuomo announced today, with Bernie Sanders at his side, that he wants NY state to implement free college tuition at all public universities in NY. I believe it was for all families earning $125,000/year or less.
