👀 60% of Republicans think the Trump administration's military leak is a very or somewhat serious problem.
Just in case anyone (Trump bootlickers or lazy Dems just wanting to phoning it in talking about kitchen table issues) tries to tell you this story isn’t a serious deal.

It’s Hump Day, and Trump has a strange, disturbing message for women as he observes Women’s History Month: "I'm going to be known as the ‘fertilization president.’ That's not bad. I've been called much worse. Actually, I like it."
Speaking for the vast majority of women, we do not like it.

Regardless of who you vote for or what side of the political divide, if you think you have good excuses to cheer when others suffer (including reveling in red state people going through hell in weather events, because "they did it"), you're wrong about that too

every affected country should announce huge retaliatory tariffs on Tesla, and every time Trump institutes a new tariff the Tesla ones go up an extra 25%

More accurate, fewer words;

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.
