I just learned that in an NFL game, there’s only one Referee, the guy with the white hat. And there’s an Umpire!! All the rest of the guys in stripes are Judges. Yes, I am sports illiterate.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

Please stop sharing this picture of JD Vance. The Vice President is not happy that it's going viral. JD's wife told reporters he is so upset that he hasn't left the couch all day. He's so distraught that he won't even let her go in the room.

I can’t help but think that the trauma of losing his father and an uncle through assassinations, and having a grandfather whose approach to parenting included having his own daughter lobotomized have given him a very distorted and traumatized perspective on parenting.
4/ He promotes what sociologists call "intensive parenting," as a superior way to ensure kids are safe. That's a time/labor-intensive & stressful form of parenting many US *mothers* feel pressured to follow due to cultural norms/expectations around mothers as primary caregivers.

Both ‘libel’ & ‘slander’ refer to defamation and are often confused for each other.
‘Libel’ is a written/published statement.
'L' for 'letters.'
‘Slander’ is for spoken.
'S' for 'spoken.'
‘Label’ & ‘slender’ are different words and are rarely confused for each other.

Watching @booker.senate.gov entering hour three. I hope other Dem Senators line up behind him to take over when he can’t keep going.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Madame Defarge always found time to knit, too. It helped her remember.
Watching AOC learn to knit a sweater through the fascist coup is an oddly humane visual--if that woman, with that job, can find some tactile joy every day, so can we mere internet sloths

I can’t say more firmly to you:
If you are facing a threat of being fired or resign, you stay until fired.
If you don’t, you have the worst employment case and will have difficulty finding a lawyer.
The former is wrongful termination the latter is constructive discharge.
Get fired. No shame.
