Democracy Docket currently has 22 employees. It is looking to hire another 10. My goal is to scale it as fast as we can to meet the growing need for pro-democracy media. But, since it has no private investors, that all depends on attracting new subscribers. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.

And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

He seems nice.
