Here are the localities that State Navigate has gotten data from at 12pm
pink = NoVa
orange = SWVA

The NoVa counties are blowing everyone else away and SWVA is really struggling it seems

if you make backpay of furlough a condition that has to be negotiated to reopen the govt you will prolong the shutdown.

of course, i think they want it to go on as long as possible.

Q: Does the administration guarantee that all furloughed federal workers will get back pay?

LEAVITT: This is something we are very much open to discussing with Democrats as part of the discussions about the continuing resolution

(That's not a yes!)

they were also perfectly fine with fuentes saying that he wanted to burn witches at the stake and that women have no bodily autonomy, but suddenly they could be a target. fine for everyone else, but not for them, to be targets of nazis.

Most of my former colleagues on the right now wanting to kick the white supremacists, fascists, & antisemites out of the MAGA tent are the very same folks who either looked the other way or welcomed the white supremacists, fascists, & antisemites into the MAGA tent to begin with.

women and men both get it, so it is perfectly acceptable to use the term "people" even if you don't factor in trans identity.

it is idealistic and moralist absurdity to get mad over this, but that's all you lunatics do is get mad over dumb shit.

cathy's "logic" is women aren't people, and that there are no men worth mentioning ever who get breast cancer. both points are stupid and worth ridicule, so i obliged.

Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.

Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown

Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.

We've gotten a few more SWVA updates from the SN crew, and it's looking more and more like there's a serious turnout issue there

Buchanan, Dickenson, Carroll, Pulaski all trailing significantly behind other localities updates at the same time

Matt Royer: ".@winwithwinsome’s final argument in her speech last night: “During COVID, I bought a cutout of Governor Northam, put a facemask on it, took it to the beach, asked it questions, got upset it didn't answer, put it in my basement, and then it scared me.” Really wish I was joking:"

you wouldn't need to clarify if your original post wasn't nonsense, but also your clarification isn't an argument. it's a nursery rhyme.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
