So “do nothing” is his answer to bird flu and measles?

“We are the party of working people. We feel that very, very strongly. That’s who we have always been.”

It doesn’t matter what you feel, Chuck, or what other leaders feel, it’s what voters feel that matters. If more of them felt the way you do, they would have voted differently. But they don’t.

Always a good idea with temp jobs.

Hi, I’m a hiring manager so I do interviews and make decisions on new personnel. As others have said, simply tell the truth that your current position is temp and you are looking for a permanent one. As a hiring manager hearing that from an interviewee, I wouldn’t bat an eye.

You don’t need to give details on when the temp position ends, but they should want to know when you would be available for the new position.

Finally, I don’t think the answer you got is a sign to look for another job, that looks like a pretty standard non-committal answer for “wait and see”. It doesn’t raise any red flags.

I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.

Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.

Still unfathomable to me. I hope those that stayed home think of their choice when Trump fully and vocally supports Israeli settlements across north Gaza.

Then again: “Grim noted some caveats, pointing out that "even if October 7 and the resulting genocide had never happened, it's fair to assume some number of those non-voters still would not have voted, and would have cited a different top reason for not voting.” Yeah, Harris was just never going to get some of those votes. But enough to swing the election? I guess we’ll never know.
