Cher, why are you awake at 4am?

Oh, my beagle was crying and needed something urgent.

Oh, I hope she's okay!

She's fine, apparently she desperately wanted to go for a car ride...

Also, if you want gender neutral bathrooms, make all the bathrooms gender neutral or have men's, women's, and gender neutral bathrooms.

Do not have men's and gender neutral bathrooms. Either erase gender or make it wholly inclusive. Do not ONLY erase the women.
If you want to have a gathering for women, call it a gathering for women. If you want to have a gathering for women & non-binary people, call it a gathering for women & non-binary people. If you want to make non-binary people sad, call it the Women’s Community Gathering and put us in the fine print

Imprisoning children destroys their lives. It is inhumane and they are often abused while incarcerated.

This is despicable.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.
Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"
NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

The Trump administration repeatedly claims they are all for "the American worker" and then continues to lie about, take away rights from, harass, intimidate, and retaliate against their own workers
Hi. I’m the executive director of the organization that had the honor of hosting the FEMA Katrina Declaration and I can confirm this is a lie.

O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"

It's been FOUR years since I filed an NLRB charge against Apple, which was investigated and sent to DC recommending charge issue within MONTHS. It took THREE years for charge to issue and a hearing to be scheduled.

When Abruzzo was fired, and Carey nominated, the hearing was cancelled.
I spoke with former NLRB general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and former NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran about the efforts by the Trump administration, Elon Musk's SpaceX, and other corporations to undermine and further weaken the National Labor Relations Board
