Born and bred in the Bay, but a PNW Girl since 2000. I love dogs, sports (especially hockey), my son, my man, the rain and people who are kind, smart, and NOT conspiracy theorists. I also love The Office! #SjSharks, #Kraken, #Warriors, #Seahawks.

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.

In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

My column tomorrow looks at where all of this is headed.
How far we've come in 69 days:
-Huge swaths of government illegally shut down
-President is refusing to promise to leave office
-Growing impunity for regime allies, targeted prosecutions at opponents
-Regime using funding and legal threats to subvert universities and law firms
-Corruption endemic

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.

Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.

The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

And if you’re an associate, announce tomorrow your plans to leave. There are so many better places to work, in the City and elsewhere. You’ll be glad that you did.

Two stories today about different people wrongly thrown off Social Security, one marked dead, the other seems to be because he was born outside the U.S. on a U.S. military base.
