Thank you President Trump. So happy I can pay more for a taco and burrito.

It's impressive how Quest Diagnostics is consistently shitty. Doesn't matter which location you go to, it's bound to suck one way or another.

Harris/Walz would’ve won if those fucking establishment consultant hacks had just gotten out of the way and let them say “These freaks are weird!” every day for three months and you’ll never convince me otherwise

Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained. Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.

More productive for him to argue with Megan Kelly because she's at the same intellectual level as he is. Bad faith actor for TCW=someone who can easily dunk on him day after day.

You'd think someone who writes about legal matters so often would know this isn't true. Schumer's reason was kinda true but also not 100% honest.

Not sure how blame for a government shutdown will fall? If this CR doesn't pass, Donald Trump will immediately FLY TO FLORIDA FOR A WEEKEND OF GOLF. Help me figure that one out, pricey political consultants!

A Minnesotan who worked for the federal government was fired, rehired and then fired again within a span of two weeks.

Dozens of Minnesota federal workers fired in latest cuts, with no severance
The Minnesota Star Tribune talked to roughly two dozen workers who all said they were not the only ones in their departments to be cut.

2 draft dodgers…Trump,(bone spurs) & Musk, (mom’s Canada connection) have audacity to slash veterans services.They have ZERO connection to these Americans, who put their lives on the line for something bigger than themselves. Every veteran, MAGA or not, needs to protest.

My conservative uncle in Utah liked my Instagram post cursing out the DOGE kids, and I gotta say that gives me a sliver of hope.

Gotta say I think saving democracy is more important than some dumb trade war Trump is about to launch. Can't stop the war if he destroys democracy.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

More from inside NIH: Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday. That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

Folks at MIT Sloan looked at multiple studies of return to office (RTO) mandates & found they are lose-lose-lose. No reward from Wall Street for “getting tough,” an actual decrease in productivity & revenue, and loss of top talent. youtu.be/4ec_yZCWOCY...

RTO Mandates: Hard Truths for Leaders
After Amazon imposed a strict return-to-office policy that takes effect in January 2025, other companies followed suit. But are RTO mandates a way to boost productivity and charm Wall Street - or just a way to lose your best performers? In this short video, Brian Elliott, who has studied RTO mandate

This story sounds so far fetched. A Republican who became D because of Trump then moved to Oakland? And then decides to go to NOLA to get away from the crime here? WTF?? Bizarre
