This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Welcome to more "vibes based analysis" on 90 day trials from the EMA. Zero hard data provided within this oped supports the use of 90 day trials, nor is their any mention of their potential misuse. What does the real evidence say? A 🧵 www.nzherald.co.nz/business/hav...
Alan McDonald: Have 90-day employment trials been worth it?
OPINION: Employers have welcomed the move but have had plenty of questions about it.

If you took all the worst bits of Ruth Richardson and all the worst bits of Jenny Shipley and mashed them together and sprinkled the worst bits of Paula Bennett on top to create a new person, that person would be Nicola Willis.

“Dr Reti would not rule out narrowing access and said it would be up to the caucus.
"That would always be a decision for caucus, and so I'm not going to offer a position here now, but we are mindful in watching what happens with Roe vs Wade."

Reti lied about suicide stats during Covid, does not support a woman's right to choose or informed consent, supports the privatisation of health, opposes the MHA and we still have leftish men who think he is a suitable health minister.

Realistically, the Guardian poll says the same thing as all the other recent ones, which is that Winston gets to pick his favourite Chris

THIS! You do NOT require an Ezy Vote card to vote - they're just a way to speed up elections staff finding your name in the roll and issuing your ballot.
Anyone saying otherwise is, wittingly or not, spreading misinformation that will depress turnout. Cynical me wonders who benefits from that..

Voting papers are NOT sent out in a general election ... the only items in your ezy vote card pack are the card & info on the parties & the candidates standing in your electorate. You don't need a card & the other info is online/in newspapers. Ignorance is astounding. Post from a millennial 🤦🏼♀️
