Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

the main effect of firing 800,000 people — in addition to debilitating the federal government — would be to plunge the US economy into a recessionary spiral that rivaled the Great Recession
"If the job is not essential...obviously they should not be on the public payroll."
What does this mean?
Trump's EO calls for focusing reductions in force for employees deemed "non-essential" during a shutdown. That is 800,000 employees. The want a permanent government shutdown.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
