ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) -- The Texas Regulatory Consistency Act, known by its opponents as the "Death Star" law, will take away the power to regulate pet sales from city governments. HB 2127 will not allow local governments to have more strict regulations when it comes to business and commerce. Some local rules that will be removed by the bill include mandatory water breaks for construction workers, eviction moratoriums and protections against predatory lending.Those who are against the law say it targets progressive ordinances passed by cities, while the supporters of the law say it will make it easier for businesses to comply with regulations across the state.

But an amendment to the bill is very specific when it comes to pet sales. The section of the law reads, "A municipality may not adopt, enforce, or maintain an ordinance or rule that restric...

Read today, the Declaration of Independence is a freedom document. It stands for absolute human equality and represents the highest ideals of the American republic. On July Fourth, we celebrate it as much as we celebrate independence itself.But as scholars like Garry Wills and Pauline Maier have made clear, this relative consensus on the meaning and significance of the Declaration is the product of political, ideological and social developments over time.“During the first fifteen years following its adoption,” Maier writes in “American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence,” “the Declaration of Independence seems to have been all but forgotten, particularly within the United States, except as the means by which Americans announced their separation from Great Britain.”The Declaration as we understand it was forged by struggle — not the struggle with Britain but the struggle within the independent United States for freedom and equality against the weight of the Constitutio...

The 18th goal is being realized! Today, the efforts of conflict-affected states to restore world order—a visible geopolitical struggle to reflect the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution in a new order—encourage countries to be more sensitive in their foreign policy, writes Mazahir Afandiyev.In 2020, having restored historical justice as a result of the Second Karabakh-Patriotic War, Azerbaijan liberated its lands that had been under occupation for 30 years, put an end to the unfair treatment by the centers of power, and ensured its state interests.
