Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Same except I’m an atheist that carries around that catholic and Jewish heavy metal guilt.
I’m Jewish AND Catholic. It’s not ambient. It’s screaming. Heavy metal guilt.
Do you also have ambient guilt? That is a big part of it for my husband.

My podcast is probably not the best way to prep for the Super Bowl, since there haven't been any episodes about football or eagles (or birds in general, for that matter), but maybe it could be a good escape then?
And that’s a wrap on season 2 of Design Downtime!
I’ve been lucky to have wonderful guests who were excited to share their passions, some of them opening up to a total stranger.
I’ll be back with season 3 in a couple of months – I already have some incredible guests lined up!

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD.
Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%.
