This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Hi new followers. Never thought I’d be live-tweeting a coup but here we are. I’m an America born scholar who studies mainly South Korea-US relations. I actually wrote my dissertation about Park Chung Hee’s declaration of martial law in 1972 and Chun Doo Hwan’s in 1980, so this is very weird for me.
