Why RTO is opposed by those like me who have been doing it for years. No amount of office treats, ping pong tables, or water cooler conversations will make me happier or more relaxed than working next to these two.

This is what leadership looks like. Yankees captain Aaron Judge went straight from the game to the hospital to just sit with his injured teammate because he knew his family wasn’t on the west coast with them. What if all leaders acted like this?

Screwing US businesses and US consumers at the same time takes a special type of absolutely idiotic economic policy. Heads we shoot ourselves in the face, tails we shoot ourselves in the face

Cruelty is the only point. The Trump freeze order is withholding money from:
1. NC hurricane victims
2. LA fire victims
3. Medicaid recipients
4. Missing & exploited kids
5. Veteran’s suicide prevention
6. Head start education
There is no reason to do this other than to harm the most vulnerable

So by killing the bipartisan deal Republicans killed needed funding for pediatric cancer. They stopped money for kids with cancer. On purpose. I sure hope the tax cuts are worth it.
