Hi 👋🏻 here's some of what I like and enjoy in no particular order... the Pittsburgh Penguins, reading Romance, movies, music, true crime, Survivor (though I don't ever post about it because I loathe spoilers), and listening to podcasts about all of them!

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Tonight, DHS is targeting 47,000 TSA officers and AFGE members, a second attempt to union-bust in retaliation for workers standing up for their rights. Congress must act to protect TSA officers and aviation safety. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Nope. Because this is all about the short and long term. We have to cull these people now or put the pressure on them and see if they'll change or else we all screwed.
You're not wrong, but can we please wait until after the midterms before we start the internal war? We always shoot ourselves in the foot and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with the in-fighting. Why don't we put 100% of the attention on them and their failures and win first then cull?

This is, uh, not a smart move. Section 230 has its flaws, but repealing it without having an *extremely solid* plan in place to replace the protections for free speech it offers is tantamount to banning the LGBTQ+ community and others from public online spaces.
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Well, I think that Trump’s dismal approval ratings and the Republican Party having no answers on health care and needing a big distraction as the deadline looms means it’s time for Trump to invade Venezuela.

6,000 faculty members at Penn State has filed for a union.
These professors and other faculty will vote on unionizing in the coming year.
If they win their union it will be the largest public union in Pennsylvania.
