NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:

Who knew Pamela Jo had an ethics adviser to begin with?! 🤷🏻♀️
Phang: Bloomberg is reporting that AG Bondi fired her personal ethics adviser on Friday. A career DOJ attorney, spent nearly 20 years at the DOJ.
What harm is there in having an ethics guru? If you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t have a problem with that man being there.

I just received my proposed increase for my Medicare Supplement plan for 2026: it's almost $100 more per MONTH and a 17.9% INCREASE. That's $1,200 a year for someone like me, a person on a fixed income.
This is DUE to the big UGLY bill passing.
