Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

In 2024, for the first time in 20+ years, the gender wage gap actually grew. For every dollar a man makes, a woman makes 75 cents. That’s unacceptable. This #EqualPayDay, the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social wants you to remember: EQUAL WORK + EQUAL SKILLS = EQUAL PAY. It really is that simple.

Former CIA officer here. This is more than “loose lips sink ships”, this is a criminally negligent breach of classified information and war planning involving VP, SecDef, DCIA, National Security Advisor - all putting troops at risk. America is not safe.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

It iswith a heavy heart that I mourn the loss of my friend, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, a dedicated advocate for environmental resiliency. His contributions to the Democratic Caucus and positive impact will continue to inspire us. My thoughts are with his family, friends, loved ones, and his staff.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.
