An Ohio member of the U.S. House of Representatives gave a fiery speech during Tuesday s debate about legislation backing the ability for labor unions to organize.
Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) criticized Republicans for opposing the measure, saying they didn t want to help the damn workers.
“Heaven forbid we tilt the balance that has been going in the wrong direction for 50 years,” Ryan said, as his voice rose with each sentence. “We talk about pensions, you complain. We talk about the minimum wage increase, you complain. We talk about giving them the right to organize, you complain. But if we were passing a tax cut here, you’d be all getting in line to vote ‘yes.’”

A U.S. Capitol Police officer died Thursday night from injuries sustained “while physically engaging” with pro-Trump rioters who descended on the U.S. Capitol the day before, the fifth fatality linked to the chaos that engulfed the nation’s capital Wednesday, according to authorities.
The officer, Brian D. Sicknick, was only the fourth member of the force to be killed in the line of duty since its founding two centuries ago. After the bedlam of Wednesday’s siege and the recriminations that filled the airwaves the next day, a silence descended over the Capitol grounds late Thursday as hundreds of law enforcement officers from scores of agencies lined the streets to pay tribute to their fallen comrade.
