I was introduced to the work of #AngieStone when her "Mahogany Soul" album came out in 2001. Leveraging samples from the O'Jays' classic, "Back Stabbers," this track was one of favorites on the dance floor. #RIP to Ms. Stone, who we lost this past week. youtu.be/1FJPZYO0QVw?...

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.
