The Chief People Officer’s own mindset is not worker friendly. Also in news, Walmart wins in the number of SNAP benefits (along with McDonald’s). Why am I not surprised? www.foxbusiness.com/markets/walm...

Can someone please point me to where I can understand the evolution of this issue? I registered to vote the same time I became a naturalized citizen so I definitely had to prove citizenship. Do people who are born here not have to show citizenship documents?

No doubt. But this is the leverage US as a powerful country has, and that this admin has taken advantage of. No one can ignore the US, no one can say “we will stop trading with you” and not suffer loss,. And that is why the US should behave responsibly, which of course the admin won’t.

Problematic article. It implies Rep. is a weak, poor victim. And not an adult professional given power by the people to represent them. If she had any dignity or integrity she should have resigned. Enough with the victimization of and undeserved sympathy to fascist collaborators.

What needs to be added to this and highlighted constantly is that Musk does what he does for his benefit and to the detriment of the residents of the country. There is a huge conflict between his interest and what is in the best interest of the American people. Musk is harming us.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, Some Vaccines Contain Aluminum. That’s a Good Thing.
R.F.K. Jr. and others have blamed the ingredient for allergies and other illnesses. Scientists say it actually bolsters the immune response.
