Progressive Democrats say they will not vote for President Biden’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill unless they get a $3.5 trillion spending bill too, following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that she would split the two bills.
US President Joe Biden condemns Israel for the deadly airstrike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, including an American citizen. Biden expresses outrage, calling for a swift investigation and accountability. Israel's military chief acknowledges the airstrike as a grave mistake. Pelosi and Senator Murphy join in condemning the incident, urging Israel to ensure unimpeded aid flow to Gaza's civilians amidst the ongoing conflict.

John Oliver is the latest to mock Nancy Pelosi for her widely ridiculed TikTok pun. On HBO's 'Last Week Tonight,' the host brought up how the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would lead to a ban on TikTok if its China-based owner doesn't sell its stake. The bill passed on concerns that the app poses a national security threat under the ownership of Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd.

employees more productive.
Out of all age groups surveyed,
millennials accounted for 74% of those

The sad reality is, Americans now
work more hours than the people
of most other wealthy nations, Bernie Sanders, via March 2024 health committee hearing.
Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of non-profit JVS, called a 5-day, 40-hour workweek outdated.
The five-day workweek was created in a
different time. It served its purpose, but
today's world is more fast-paced and
technology-driven than our workplace
predecessors could have imagined, Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of non-profit JVS, via 'Newsweek'.
Since implementing a
four-day workweek, our
results have been incredible. , Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of non-profit JVS, via 'Newsweek'.
We've found our employees are more
productive, report better work-life balance,
and experience less burnout. Incredibly, our
turnover rate has been cut nearly in half, Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of non-profit JVS, via 'Newsweek'

Bernie Sanders Pushes Bill , to Adopt 4-Day Workweek.
The senator introduced the "Thirty-Two Hour Work Week Act" on March 14, NBC News reports.
The bill would change the standard workweek in America from 40 to 32 hours without losing pay.
The number of hours needed to attain overtime pay would also be reduced.
Time-and-a-half pay would be required for
any workday lasting longer than 8 hours.
If a workday exceeds 12 hours,
an employee would receive double pay.
The plan would go into effect over the
course of four years, NBC News reports. .
Moving to a 32-hour workweek with
no loss of pay is not a radical idea, Sen. Bernie Sanders, via statement.
Today, American workers are over
400 percent more productive than
they were in the 1940s. , Sen. Bernie Sanders, via statement.
And yet, millions of Americans are
working longer hours for lower
wages than they were decades
ago. That has got to change, Sen. Bernie Sanders, via statement.
Sanders went on to talk about
AI's place in the workforce.
The financial gains from the major
advancements in artificial intelligence,
automation and new technology must
benefit the working class, not just
corporate CEOs and wealthy
stockholders on Wall Street, Sen. Bernie Sanders, via statement.
It is time to reduce the stress level
in our country and allow Americans
to enjoy a better quality of life. , Sen. Bernie Sanders, via statement.
It is time for a 32-hour workweek
with no loss in pay. I look forward
to the discussion this week, Sen. Bernie Sanders, via statement
