Mike Pence wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. Reading the headline, I was like, "Okay, seems like a normal take."

We went to visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum today and I saw a great response to the claim that we can’t have DC statehood because it would make the flag look funny.

Not only do they refuse to recognize the First Rule of Holes, they doubled down with a backhoe.
There are a handful of things Target could do to get me and a bunch of other formerly loyal, currently boycotting customers back, and this was absolutely not one of them:
“Target also announced a partnership with OpenAI to let customers shop on Target in ChatGPT.”

Last spring, ~5,700 employees of DOI bureaus—including ~1,700 NPS staff were forcibly & unexpectedly moved to the “DOI Office of the Secretary,” almost an entire new agency. This huge illegal reorganization was done without congressional approval and included HR, IT, comms & contracts staff.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
