New: The WGAE, which represents some parts of CBS News including its social team, sent a note to members today advising its members not to respond to Weiss’ request for an email by next week. The union also said it asked CBS for more information about Weiss’ request.

Remember that time when FDR called the leader of Poland into the Oval Office and dressed him down and took Germany's side?

I don't either.

"From employment rights and protections to housing and the essentials of life, we just made a group of Iowans second class citizens legally. We stand with any sisters, brothers and siblings that are now considered "less-than" by the government, and will fight with you to gain your rights back."

"The Iowa Legislature Majority was shameful in its actions this week to make us the first state ever to remove civil rights protections from its own citizens. This puts all of us at risk - and makes us ask who's next? (1/2)

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details

Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Did not know he was alive still. I think the MC needs to play up some other tragic event for tourism. I've always voted for the Dillinger robbery. Less music, more gunfire though.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. There is no easy way through grief except forward. When my wife died I had no idea how many people could manage to say to many dumb things.

We’re thrilled to share breaking news:

The AFL-CIO and @seiu.org are reuniting with a new, long-term effort to make it easier for workers to win a voice on our jobs with our unions. 

There’s power in unity!
