Andrea R. Lucas

The 2024 rule covers miscarriage, postpartum depression, lactation, fertility treatment, endometriosis, menstruation and abortion.

A Louisiana court struck the abortion provision last year, and Chair Andrea Lucas said publicly she believes the rest read the statute too broadly.

The text has not been released.

For people that really want more babies, they sure try to sabotage women having more babies because their ideal is women shouldn't be in the workforce.

Up next...

Andrea Lucas may not be a household name, but according to our next story, the current chair of the U.S.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is garnering lots of praise within the Republican Party for her work in opposition of DEI, as well as for her work to protect a specific class of Americans that claim to be under persecution in this country.

Tammy, let's go back to you.

Tell us more about this story involving the EEOC chair, Andrea Lucas, and then Amber and Q.

Of course, we're going to get your thoughts next.

Cheryl, let me jump in.

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson is praising the Trump administration's efforts to combat workplace discrimination against white men.

Crucially, it directed federal agencies to remove all internal and external messaging that promoted this ideology.

So this directive comes down from the top and the EEOC, led by Chair Andrea Lucas, has to implement it.

Right.

They had to execute the order.

But there was an important limitation on what the commission itself could do, because President Trump had taken the unprecedented step of removing two sitting Democratic appointed commissioners, former chair Charlotte Burroughs and former vice chair Jocelyn Samuels, and that left...

the then-acting chair, Andrea Lucas, and Commissioner Kalpana Kotigal, a Democrat, as the only two commissioners.

And without a quorum of at least three, the commission couldn't take some of the actions that it would normally take, really anything that required a commission vote that hadn't been previously delegated.

Well, that changed last fall when the Senate confirmed Brittany Panuccio, which not only restored the commission's quorum, But it gave Chair Lucas a Republican majority.

So what happened was on the first day of Trump 2.0, he issued a flurry of executive orders and one of them was deeply anti-trans and, um, stated that there were only two genders and went on and on.

And the head of my agency at that point, a woman named Andrea Lucas, who was the acting chair, now the chair, she was confirmed, um, directed the judges through our management to stop moving forward with cases where the complainants were trans.

And I thought it was like a joke because this is completely against our regulations and completely against the Supreme Court's recent holding in Vostok, Clayton County.

So I waited to see if anyone up my chain of command would say anything and no one said anything.

Can you play that clip, Sean?

I also wanna acknowledge the work of Andrea Lucas, who's the chairman of the EEOC.

She's the greatest chairman of that institution since Clarence Thomas back in the 1980s.

On every issue that previous EOCs, EEOCs refused to touch, protecting white American men from discrimination, protecting American citizens from national origin discrimination.

And now we have so many changes going on at these federal agencies.

Now, why is the Equal Opportunity Commission's changes, why are those so important for you to understand? Well, recently, in the last couple of weeks, the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a woman named Andrea Lucas, released a video and the video is fascinating.

You're going to want to Google it and find it.

And basically she talks about how the EEOC wants Americans who feel like they have been mistreated in the workplace to bring claims.

Okay.

I mean, you want everybody to be treated fairly.

But what Andrea Lucas did in this recent video is pretty unbelievable.

And you really should go watch it because she talks about, well, have you ever felt harassed at work because someone made a comment that American workers are lazy or that they wanted to hire people from America? other nationalities because they worked harder.

Small, very s- very small town.

Uh, uh, also, um, the head of the EEOC, who, Andrea Lucas, who is extremely, uh, I don't know about partisan, but extremely ideological at least, uh, and the head of the, uh, the acting head of the Office of Governmental Ethics, who happens to be, for some reason, uh, the, the Secretary of Labor, [laughs] uh, Keith Sonderling.

And, uh, this, uh, committee is supposed to investigate, uh, Lisa Cook's, uh, alleged sins of, uh, s- submitting false, knowingly submitting false documents and making false affirmations to in, in the course of getting a mortgage on a second residence, which by, i- it, it certainly seems she did not in fact do.

Uh, and she, there's a process that's being set up by which she will, uh, be given the evidence against her.
