Today, Ross Douthat sincerely asked in 'The New York Times': “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” The women of VF found the question to be hysterical, in the funny and shrieking-female senses.

Drawing on the hallowed form of publishing workplace instant messages, we are issuing this considered response.

Because Grokipedia isn’t editable by the public, Congressman John Rose can’t have a staff member devoted to scrubbing it of every mention of how he met his wife.

Although once he figures this out he’ll petition Elon Musk personally to make sure it vanishes.

I sit here with my Diet Sundrop, mulling No Kings day in Tennessee: I was worried if something bad went down, it would be in Memphis, where there's an armed federal force. But no. The only arrest was a 71-year-old meemaw who wouldn't leave her protest spot on the side of a road.
From Madisonville, Tennessee: Friends of 71-year-old Anna Grabowski posted $5,000 bond to get her released from the Monroe County Justice Center. Grabowski was arrested during Monroe County's No Kings protest -- the only arrest at 33 events in Tennessee on Saturday.

This is quietly a very big deal
After a day of interviews with candidates and debates over partisanship and impartiality, the Davidson County Election Commission failed to reach a decision to hire a new administrator of elections and will reopen the application period.

If you live in:

South Dakota
Louisiana
West Virginia
Wyoming
Tennessee
Mississippi
Alaska

Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.
If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump:

SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346%

Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
