Utterly impossible to argue otherwise.

Even if you laughably believed Trump wasn’t in the files, Johnson is protecting everyone in them!

Jeffries: "Mike Johnson and this group continue to cover up for the pedophiles. That's crazy."

A lot of times those are literal cardboard.

I haven't priced it; they could still be obscenely expensive.

Both of my husband's grandparents were cremated and I saw them at the funeral home before cremation. Boxes with some fabric. You could see the corrugation at the edges.

It isn't even an area school. And its enrollment is 7,000 undergraduates.

That is smaller than Medgar Evers College, CUNY, one of 12 CUNY undergraduate colleges.

We have a whole new website dedicated to the "burning" question.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

But this does set up a Saturday Night Massacre scenario. If he's a good leader, his subordinates will continue to follow suit. And, sure, they get fired. But it makes whole thing non-functional.

It is not how they'd want to end their careers but that is far better than participating in fascism.

Wow, media does rally suck. I have heard literally nothing about anyone fire bombing federal buildings.

Really, nothing about any significant move on federal buildings since... I don't know Malheur National Wildlife Refuge... and before that, I am going to say The Murrow Building in OKC.

The first list I popped up on was labeled something that included transphobe. I am the parent of a trans child and it sent me into a bit of a spiral until I worked out what got me on that list. And it was exactly that. I was like this list is bullshit.

A very clear example Trump thinking "l'etat c'est moi." He spent his entire career sniffing workers in his own businesses. Now, hes doing the same with "his" money to "his" employees in the federal govt.

From your lips to God's ears that there are actual consequences for Altman and not just temporary embarrassment before he moves on to his next billion-dollar grift.

There should he fraud charges, jail, painful financial penalties. But even him getting laughed out if SV forever would be something.

My local PD has 6 officers who were at J6 employed. Blue city, blue state. Can't manage to clean house of our own PD.

*engineers, nurses, teachers

And many of the licensed professionals that require a graduate degree (e.g., MDs), it doesn't matter either. Though I think for several allied health professionals (e.g., PTs), it does matter more.

If you arent pursuing a career as a licensed* professional (the narrow definition, not broad, college-educated worker definition), your undergraduate degree doesn't matter.

And even with those licensed professionals, there is often a short cut if you have a different degree.

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

I have a Ph.D. in nuclear physics but I did my undergrad studies at a small liberal arts university and I have told many, many students that breadth early in their student careers is more important than depth. In most fields nobody really cares what you did as an undergrad, so learn to think.

I really wish postal workers weren't on this list. For better or worse the USPS is self-funded and thus not dependent on budget allocations.

Technically, isnt like like 1 day since early spring or maybe before?
