Why is the euphemism "the birds and the bees?" why not "the cats and the ants?"

That'd be ok if ants pollinated cats.

    Jim Jordan, Who's Running For Speaker, Played A Key Role In Trump's 2020 Election Plot

    “Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for Jan. 6 than any other member of the House,” former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said.

    Jordan also sent a text to Meadows on Jan. 5 outlining a legal theory that then-Vice President Pence, who presided over the Senate chamber on Jan. 6, had the authority to block the certification of Biden’s 2020 election win.

    Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs terminated the lease of state trust land by a controversial Saudi Arabian company, and said the state would not renew the farm's leases next year. The deals have been controversial because of the large amounts of water used to grow alfalfa for export.

    What Happened to the Left in the U.S. Labor Movement?

    Many people in the U.S. Left feel disoriented following the end of the UPS contract campaign. For the several hundred members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), other socialist organizations, and independent radicals in the Teamsters, the sudden announcement of a Tentative Agreement (TA) between the Teamsters and UPS on July 25 caught many off guard.

    Acquitted. The Larger Verdict Is Autocracy Won, Democracy Lost

    This trial is a regional microcosm of what’s wrong with the entire GOP and what’s wrong with the GOP is what’s killing this country right now.

    Corruption is the name of the game. Walking scot free from wrongdoing is what the GOP has demonstrated, yet one more time, that they are about. The day may be fast approaching that Donald can shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue and walk.

    Special Counsel Jack Smith wants a narrow gag order to prevent Trump from harassing and intimidating witnesses and court officials in his public rants on social media. Trump thinks as a presidential candidate his First Amendment rights should remain unabridged. But as a criminal defendant out of prison pre-trial, his rights are curtailed by agreement, signed by him. If Judge Chutkan imposes a limited gag order, how long until he violates it, I wonder? Betcha he can’t help himself.

    72mz,

    @georgetakei
    A gag order is a red line. When you draw a red line there must be some consequence for crossing it. Trump seems to do it with impunity since judges are loathe to act. It's farce.

    , “God-Fearing” Family Woman, and , Creep, Reportedly Had “Yearslong” Affair

    It’s always the ones who insist that marriage is “a special, God-given union between one man and one woman” that forget how to count.

    The Daily Mail has published an explosive report that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, a former Donald Trump aide, have been having a secret affair “for years”—at least since 2019.

    In 2022 alone, Ford CEO Jim Farley had a total compensation package of $21M, 281 times the median annual total compensation for Ford employees.

    Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares received $24.8M in total compensation in 2022. GM CEO Mary Barra's compensation for 2022 was $29M, and she "has now received total compensation of more than $200M since assuming the top job in 2014." 1/2

    @TonyStark
    For me, it's hard to rate the salary of the CEO of a profitable company. Ford's Farley, at $21M seems high but Ford has about 173,000 employees and each would only get about $120 if Farley's salary was distributed. Getting a fair share of Ford's profits should be the focus, not the CEOs salary.
