To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

It's why prosecutions should be based on (factual) probable cause and not on (fabricated) retaliation.
Another case bites the dust!
Prosecutors found that James allowed a niece to live in the house rent-free in 2020. She only reported collecting $1,350 in rent money to cover utilities on her tax return.
The small sum undercuts the DOJ theory that she was using it as an investment property.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Being in a union shifts the workplace culture. Unions empower workers to know their rights.
AFSCME members like Eliana Holgate know how important it is to have a strong, unified voice with her coworkers.
That’s the union difference.

WNBA popularity is getting a boost in Brookline, with a Warrant Article sponsored by a PAX Board Member to encourage a local franchise. Last night, the Town's Advisory Committee recommended "Favorable Action" on the Article, which will come to Town Meeting in November.
As the WNBA continues to grow in popularity, targeted abuse has spiraled into a leaguewide problem. Hate speech and misinformation, much of it boosted by right-wing media and content farms, have joined forces to spin demeaning or harmful narratives about players.
The W.N.B.A Gets More Attention Now. That’s Not Always a Good Thing.
The league’s popularity has given rise to online sexism and racism — and misinformation that traffics in both.
