this is kind of amazing:

‘Choose styles with features such as pleating or fluting to affect an air of elegant authority while upholding the dignity of the court, and add some function to the form with features such as pockets and buttons.’

NEW from me:

Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications.

www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom

EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

The weird Zelig-like history with that band is sort of incredible, most of all Neal Schon’s link to the infamous White House gate crashing incident

Just learned that my cousin was summarily fired from his job as Prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. Apparently, someone discovered a blog post of his that was critical of Trump from 2017(!) when he was still in private practice.

THIS IS FUCKING INSANE.

So, about that team of public integrity prosecutors who investigated Tom Homan, the guy who accepted a $50k bribe in a sting operation last year...

The Trump DOJ has cut it down to 2 lawyers: a boss who oversees a single attorney.

@notus.com exclusive:

www.notus.org/courts/doj-p...

The Justice Department Had 36 Lawyers Fighting Corruption Full-Time. Under Trump, It’s Down to Two.

The Public Integrity Section is the latest casualty in the administration’s attacks on Nixon-era good-government reforms.

oh the summertime fun Walmart manager Marco Polo must have in the pool

“Plaintiff then scheduled a meeting with Marco Polo, a member of Defendant
Walmart's Management. Plaintiff reported all incidents of Defendant Ayala's sexually harassing
behavior, unwanted physical touchings, and his threats to Plaintiff's job when he objected.
Instead of taking action, Defendant Walmart's member of management, Marco Polo, told Plaintiff that he "has no power," and to report the incidents to Defendant Walmart's Ethics
Department.”

finding 450 qualified technicians and engineers in the Spring Hill, TN area who have specialized knowledge of a very specific line of South Korean-made factory production equipment should be no problem

Subcontractors are now being asked to prepare contingency plans and hire local crews, given the mass departure of technicians and engineers, the first person said
