BREAKING: After USA TODAY investigation, House Democracts to introduce bills to stop port trucking companies from exploiting drivers who move goods for America's retail giants

The measures come in response to a USA TODAY Network investigation that revealed truckers were working as modern-day indentured servants while hauling goods for America's retail giants. The Port Drivers' Bill of Rights Act of 2017 lays out basic work standards for port truckers, including fair pay, protection under labor laws, and freedom from "exploitative truck lease or rental arrangements," according to a draft obtained by USA TODAY Network.

A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity to Fix the Tax Code

"THE WAGES OF CORPORATE TAXES"

-The Editorial Board, The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board writes how Kevin Hassett earned the wrath of the left by showing how corporate tax reform will give workers a pay raise, and how President Obama's economic record failed the middle-class. Hassett pointed out under President Obama, real corporate profits rose 11 percent a year but "the pass-through to workers" was only 0.3 percent. "If we presided over that liberal record, we'd be sore, too," WSJ's Editorial Board writes. "But if [liberals] look in the mirror with some honesty, they might understand that the failure of their policies in lifting wages is one reason Donald Trump is President. Meanwhile, why begrudge Americans a raise?"

At The Daily Signal, former Green Beret and Heritage Foundation Fellow Steven Bucci urges politicians and the media to stop unnecessarily politicizing the work that American special forces were conducting in Niger, writing that "grandstanding senators and talking heads don't help make America safe, but missions just like the one in Niger do."

Starting in August 2016, SPURS-2 scientists deployed a web of sensors to monitor part of the Pacific Ocean for an entire year. Now, scientists on board the R/V Roger Revelle have returned to sea to recover moorings and gear and to collect one final, intense snapshot of the ocean.
