I'd like to see folks and @theonion.com improve this @nytimes.com headline: "Blanche Is Confirmed as Attorney General After Overcoming G.O.P. Concerns" Here’s a start: #Blanche Is Confirmed as Attorney General After Overcoming G.O.P. Concerns that Bribes Haven’t Kept Up with Inflation”

@theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social not so sure it’s safe to assume that older Democratic voters’ votes lean conservative. We’re fed up, too.

Pretty disappointed by the two conservative women (Catherine Rampell & Elyse Jordan) on @theweekendprime.bsky.social protecting the status quo in the Democratic Party by attacking progressive candidates for congressional seats.

14 years ago, DACA opened the door to opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Dreamers. Dreamers are Americans by every measure that matters. They are our neighbors, coworkers, classmates—they grew up here and belong here. Congress must finally provide a pathway to citizenship.

“At Deloitte, the cuts [paid family leave] apply to people in certain administrative roles, and it is also reducing vacation time and eliminating financial support for adoption, surrogacy and I.V.F. for those employees.” I have one suggestion for @deloitteus.bsky.social’s workers: UNION.

California’s $20 an hour fast food minimum wage, instituted in 2024, did not reduce employment. It led to only the most modest of price increases—barely noticeable to a consumer. It significantly improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers. capitalandmain.com/despite-apoc...
