Yes, what the fuck???

I have a young relative who lost her job and is currently looking for another. She had a zoom interview for a position, and I overheard part of it. The employer asked her if she had kids, how old they are, and about their daycare.

Those questions lead to discrimination…obviously.

He only has to offer a gold bar to Trump to get that pardon.

Democracy requires decency.

Our democracy is devolving because we neglected to demand common decency of the most powerful individual in our country; the President.

Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

I wonder if they took the time to remove all the furnishings, artifacts, paintings, etc. beforehand? Or if those are simply being bulldozed with the entire East Wing. Trump doesn’t care about details like that. Or, maybe he’s stolen them for his own use.

Opinion | Trump’s East Wing demolition isn’t a normal White House renovation The sudden destruction of the White House's East Wing to make way for a massive gilded ballroom is a huge departure from previous remodels and renovations.

Their plan now is to raze the whole East Wing rather than tagging on the ballroom as an addition.
