BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

Readimasks (certified N95s that use adhesive instead of straps) are 75% off w/code NONSMOKINGZONE.

They’re MRI-safe (nice because if you need an MRI, you prob really don’t also want Covid) and also handy for things like haircuts. Not my everyday mask but super to have around for those situations!

Bob McMichael, 63, and his wife, Leslie, 62, are retired and make about $42,000 a year. They currently pay $51 a month for their ACA plan. Late last month, they got a notice that their monthly premium would increase to $2,232 next year without the subsidies.

About 25,000 Idahoans are likely to drop their coverage for next year when enhanced subsidies expire.

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Pediatricians are facing an ethical dilemma: drop unvaccinated families to protect other patients or keep them and hope they change their minds. If we’re talking about free will, that goes both ways, doctors have the right and duty to protect their patients. Drop the families.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
