When an employer says work life balance isn't realistic they want you to give up one, and it isn't going to be work.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Speaker Johnson says he has "national security concerns" about releasing the Epstein Files.
"Declassification should always rest and always has rested with the agency that originated the intelligence. Why? So that they can protect their critical sources and methods."

Every so often we should remember to check in on DOGE and see if they have accomplished their goals of making the government more effort and eliminating "the bad parts"....

Literally the ONLY legal case you could make is "the constitution only says I can't be ELECTED as president more than twice not that I can't BE president more than twice"
There is a legal case for a third term—but it is strewn with obstacles

Kinda weird to square this with unitary executive theory (which these types have a hardon for)
Trump's (probably correct) belief that his Justice Department will give him a quarter-billion dollars in public resources is the product of a Justice Department controlled by Trump loyalists who understand their jobs to be "using the law to do whatever the boss wants"
Why Trump Expects the Justice Department to Cut Him a Quarter-Billion-Dollar Check
What Trump’s Justice Department loyalists understand is that the law is a tool they can manipulate to give their boss what he wants.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.
More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

twice, he was inserted back into the game
both times he was concussed immediately
multiple Cumberland players run off the field during the game and attempt to hide rather than keep playing

When my cousin was 13 he bragged to a lot of people that he could drive, and hotwire, cars. So eventually he gets invited to this party with a bunch of 15/16 year olds. He gets there and they tell him there is a stolen car in the garage that they need him to hotwire and drop off at the grocery store
