So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

Amid the tumult of mass firings, the Trump administration’s dismissal of workers who maintain America’s nuclear weapons delivered perhaps the greatest shock. These are people with highly sensitive jobs, the Energy Department would later acknowledge, who should have never been fired.

We’ve received too many reports about GOP voicemails being full for this to be a coincidence.
If your Republican representative is avoiding you, show up to one of their local offices.
You can also send an email to make it clear you don’t want to pay the price for the GOP’s billionaire tax breaks.
