As long as NYT is asking โ€œDid women ruin the workplaceโ€ can they also ask:
โ€ขDid men ruin safe workplaces?
โ€ขDid men ruin domestic safety?
โ€ขDid men ruin public safety?
โ€ขDid men ruin global peace?
Or is a clear โ€œYESโ€ to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to acceptโ€”so NYT avoids it?๐Ÿค”

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from โ€ฆ Qatar?

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says โ€˜yes sirโ€™ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what heโ€™s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.

Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits โ€” the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Chicago residents say kids tear-gassed due to nearby immigration enforcement A Chicago mother tells NBC News she and her 2-year-old were hit with a chemical agent. Many residents say the city wasnโ€™t a โ€œwar zoneโ€โ€” until immigration agents swept through.

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of
'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.
