Rick Scott of Florida said he lost a friend in the mass shooting at a Kentucky bank on Monday, but that friend might be alive today if Scott hadn't voted against gun safety reforms and restoring the federal assault weapons ban.

The state's Republican House Speaker faces new scrutiny after documents show he doesn't reside in his district, as required. A court halted TN GOP lawmakers' scheme to monkey-wrench the Nashville city council and its upcoming election.

Gretchen Whitmer repealed the state's anti-labor 'right to work' law after new, fair maps ended Republicans' egregious gerrymander of legislative districts. Chipotle must pay former employees in Maine who were unlawfully fired for filing a petition to vote on unionizing. Los Angeles school district staff won a better contract after a three-day strike.
