With its staff union still on strike, the Writers Guild of America West threatens to cancel its award ceremony As the Writers Guild of America West's staff union strike enters its second week, the guild's management threatens to pull their annual award show.

I thought SEIU SU struck, but maybe that was just a vote. With every day being a year, it’s hard to remember. I did just see this, which is active now:

Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.

Good god, @nytimes.com & @theathletic.com. No one is "irked" by the extraordinary Eileen Gu. Why do you always have to try to bring down women who are soaring to new and greater heights? This smacks of jealousy and misogyny.

Do better.

BREAKING: We just won a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration requiring the DOJ to turn over records on an expedited basis about their efforts to compile millions of Americans’ sensitive voter data from states across the country.

We could have this too, if we were brave and wiling to do the right things.

It is wild and absolutely enraging to me to see the tepid comments about what’s happening in places like Minnesota and “negotiating reforms” to ICE and CBP and then see the foot stomping angry yelling when the Grand Jury declined to indict, pulling back the curtain on an insane investigation.

I wish Democrats in Congress were as openly outraged about Americans being executed in the street and the creation of concentration camps to detain our immigrant friends, family, and neighbors as they are about being investigated for telling the military to disobey illegal orders.

My assumption as this point is that the jobs report, which was needlessly delayed, is going to be brutal.
