Good for them, doing the right thing. Fight gerrymandering and corruption, even if it is hidden behind a slim veneer of disaster relief. The GOP's paranoid negligence caused the disaster in the first place.

Musk bought X for 44 billion, sells for 33 billion. Lost 11 billion after cutting the workforce and making the company worse.
And now we have him going through and gutting US government staff.
Is this a fair assessment? If so, why the hell aren't more people demanding musk be removed.

To say that men and women have different spheres of influence is similar to what the Jim Crow segregationist said about different racialized groups.
The modern reformed theology that has redefined complementarianism to mean separate spheres of influence is bigoted.

Every child deserves access to healthy, nutritious meals—but extreme anti-public education politicians are threatening to cut vital programs like Head Start and universal school meals. These cuts would hurt our most vulnerable students.

A really good episode.
The Conservative White Evangelical purity culture has done so much damage to women, girls, and men in the church.
And it isn't based on sound biblical interpretation, it takes verses out of context, over simplifies, and is all about money.
