Today, an official decision was released that came to the same conclusion. This litigation involves the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, or EMTALA, which requires doctors to stabilize or treat any patient who shows up at an emergency room.

If you've ever had the chance to stumble into a Nerd Nite event in Orlando, then you've wandered into something wonderful. Capacity audiences gather to hear presentations that veer into monologue on subjects ranging from booze to blues records to sneakers and sci-fi.

The committee passed a pair of resolutions requesting what’s known as an “Article V Convention” – a national convention that can be called by the states to propose new amendments to the United States Constitution.

The consolidation of corporate power in the private hands of the elite few directly undermines the health, prosperity and freedoms of working families. This is true in every facet of our lives — from energy utilities to housing, farming to grocery stores, media and the music industry, hospitals to airlines; families feel the direct impact of less competition in our economy every day — higher prices, lower quality products, and worse conditions for workers.

We all deserve a democracy that truly serves and represents us. Unfortunately, Gov. Ron DeSantis and other extremist politicians continue to erode Floridians’ freedom to vote and our democratic norms, while rolling back decades of progress and failing to respond to the real issues we face. That’s why we need Congress to take action and ensure that all eligible Americans are able to exercise their right to vote. Right now in Florida, we are facing multiple degrees of voter suppression.
