Amazon is misnamed. It suggests courageous women rather than craven men.

Refuse to serve on an at-will basis? Pay a substantial pension surcharge. Federal workers hired in 2029 would contribute nearly 10% of their basic pay toward a less generous pension if they wish to retain their civil service protections under House lawmakers’ budget reconciliation proposal. 😡

Empathy to Action strategy - for the win. Next week, we ride (and by ride, I mean write ✍️). Right?! Who’s with us?

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

Economics 101......Easy peasy Lemon squeezy.......

💥Boom. Ouch! “You’re fired,” aka prohibited from competing again.

How is this fact not a problem?

So let me get this straight: as he was framing Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic as lowlife scum for accurately reporting on him, Mike Waltz was frantically checking his _19_ other secret, national security-threatening Signal chats to make sure he hadn't accidentally invited any journalists to those?
