I’ll vote against the party threatening the republic—simple as that.
They know how to turn their weakness into strength.
Emergency unemployment benefits in the U.S. expired two weeks ago, but employers who expected an increase in job applications are still largely waiting for them to roll in.
but I keep being repeatedly assured, on a somewhat regular basis by Republicans, that stopping the unemployment benefits is what needs to happen to get people back to work!
Parents yelling about masks or demanding book bans over 'critical race theory' isn't really about their kids, who have different ideas.
I’m glad these high school students won. But they should never have had to fight this battle in the first place, especially with the same people who have been who have been preaching against the evils of safe spaces for the past 30 years but who have suddenly decided that well actually they need a safe space of their own within the last 9 months.
With "Dark Harbor," Stuart Woods proved yet again that he is the master of the popular crime novel. Now he outdoes himself with the newest addition to the series. Stone Barrington embarks on his most dangerous adventure yet when he takes on a job as a lawyer for a sleazy and clueless con man-and ends up getting embroiled in the underworld of the New York mafia. It started out as just another late night at Elaine's, where Stone was eating a porterhouse steak and enjoying the company of his friends. But when Herbie Fisher, a notoriously not-so-sharp swindler, walked in, the pleasant atmosphere turned to ice. Herbie convinces Bill Eggers, the managing partner of Woodman & Weld, to sign him on as a client-with the goal of taking down the infamous mafia boss Carmine Datilla. And even though Stone doesn't want to have anything to do with Herbie-or the mafia, for that matter-he is soon coerced into being Herbie's lawyer. With the help of his ex-partner, Dino, Stone investigates "Datilla the Hun," and the rest of the mob family, encountering intrigue and danger at every turn. Will Stone finally take a stand, or will he end up at the bottom of Sheepshead Bay? With the swift action, razor-sharp characters, and crackling dialogue that are Stuart Woods's hallmarks, "Fresh Disasters" is Woods at the very height of his storytelling powers.
Stone Barrington and Holly Barker, Woods' busiest heroes, pair up again, this yarn finding Stone traveling to Dark Harbor, Maine, after his cousin, Dick Stone, and his family are found murdered at their house. The local police think it was a murder-suicide, but when Stone learns from his CIA contact, Lance Cabot, that Dick was working covertly for the CIA and had just received a big promotion, Stone decides to look into matters himself. Accompanied by Lance, Holly, and Dino Bacchetti, his trusted former NYPD partner, Stone heads up to Maine.
While domestic abuse is freqeuently ignored, the disappearance and possible murder of an attractive young white woman often gains outsized attention.
It looks like they’re giving up, but for politicians like Anthony Gonzalez, a party run by Trump is not worth fighting for.

The general stayed inside the lines—barely. The real problem is that he was in that situation at all.
So this is the article from Tom that Fox and pretty much the entire right-wing media ecosystem experienced a vulcanic pants-crapping over?
Alleged misconduct included false statements to State's legal department, Hatch Act related resource misuses, and verbal abuse of employees.
Internal memos show how a big 2018 change rewarded outrage and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg resisted proposed fixes
The U.S. Access Board is a federal agency that promotes equality for people with disabilities through leadership in accessible design and the development of accessibility guidelines and standards for the built environment, transportation, communication, medical diagnostic equipment, and information technology.
Finally!
Also, this was supposed to happen in 2017 but the Trump administration explicitly killed it as part of their summer-of-2017 regulation freeze. Never forgiving Republicans for this. The accessibility community spent *years* fighting with the Access Board and the Justice Department over this, and when we finally got things into place for this to happen during the Obama administration, the Trump administration decided to just flip both the accessibility community and Americans with disabilities the middle finger and put it on indefinite hold. We could have been four years closer to government resources every American, including those with disabilities, can use. Instead, we’re just getting started. So no, “We didn’t think” is not going to cut it as a response from Republicans.
