@brianstelter How many millions of dollars does this program make its parent company? NEGATIVE dollars I would imagine. Brian - if you ran a company losing millions per year how would you handle things?

@GovernorVA Nice so tax dollars going towards people who don't feel like working. AFFORDABILITY :)

Virginia is the first state in the South to create a paid family and medical leave program!
At the end of the day, Virginia’s greatest economic asset — and we have many — is our people: the workforce that powers growth across our commonwealth. The businesses that thrive here have always known that. What they needed were willing partners in state government who knew it, too.
This law is that partnership in action.
Paid family and medical leave will make Virginia a stronger place to build a career, grow a family and start a business.

@TheDailyShow OR you can note the morons in charge currently and note anything is better than what they have now.

"'This is a really complicated system that’s been set up to have people lose coverage.'" That's one argument, and it might be about to be proven right: lnk.thebulwark.com/3QMcpuA

@Timodc @MatthewFoldi Yeah because liberals are loaded with hate and don't want conservatives to be themselves

LOL @MatthewFoldi tells the NYT that some DC bar in Navy Yard makes MAGAs "feel better about how they are." Baby I was born this way.

my favorite genre of tweet is attacking resist libs for being too cringe before admitting that they were right yet again.
Michael Tracey@mtracey
Remember libs always shrieking THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL?!? And we mustn't Normalize Trump? Most of that was overwrought silliness, but making these insane apocalyptic threats once or twice a week, amid active war, seems like something to be legitimately concerned about "normalizing"

@LateNightSeth @mradamscott The deep leg cross is the leftist signal of how progressive they are. This is borderline Obama / Newsum level of progressive deep leg cross. checks out!

"Brendan Carr is following the president's instructions to the T," an FCC source said to me earlier this week.
The source didn't mean it literally. They meant that Trump is publicly broadcasting what he wants to see happen, and Carr is eagerly following through.
Yesterday, Carr told reporters in DC that the challenge to Disney's ABC station licenses was a natural progression of his probe into Disney's DEI initiatives. They "weren't being entirely forthcoming," he claimed, adding, "maybe they'll take it more seriously" now.
In the media biz, practically no one is taking this "DEI" explanation seriously, so I'm loath to spend much time on it. But I spoke with a longtime media lawyer who made a couple of crucial points about the process.
Carr indicated yesterday that the FCC requested, and received, an initial tranche of internal documents from Disney last year. The FCC apparently waited many months to follow up and request more info. Then, last week, Disney sent over a second tranche of documents.
If the agency really thought Disney's latest response was insufficient, they'd normally call up Disney's legal team, or maybe send a formal notice, the source told me. Sending an early-renewal order for Disney's licenses makes no sense in this context. "If you're really interested in DEI, you're not going to learn anything from that renewal application," they said.
License challenges are extremely rare and usually reserved for cases of "egregious, regular misconduct, like fraud," the lawyer added. This case is not that.
But one of Carr's other comments yesterday pointed to what's really going on: Once Disney files to renew the station licenses, "then anyone can file petitions to deny," he said. Pro-Trump groups can submit complaints about Kimmel, "The View" and anything else.
"Disney, as part of the filing, is going to have to come in and demonstrate that they've been operating in the public interest," Carr said.
So: A long, drawn-out administrative proceeding where Disney will have to defend itself. Like I said earlier this week, the process appears to be the punishment.

@BulwarkOnline If Biden did this, Bulwark would be soooo ecstatic. If Trump does, it's RAARRRRRRR NO KINGS!!!!

@jemelehill Is there a way we can ban no talent racists like Jemele Hill?
English

It would help if social media platforms banned these blogs and bot farms that push out fake information. They’ve eliminated the guardrails and with monetization, there is zero incentive for these people to stop peddling fake posts.
Maybe a lawyer could answer this: Can these fake posters be sued if they attribute a fake quote to a real person?

After a fake Olivia Wilde Instagram story went viral, it became clear that fake posts are at an all-time high while media literacy is at an all-time low. vulture.com/article/everyt…

@BulwarkOnline So the Dems have a common sense moderate like Fetterman who wants to get things done and then they are now mad at it?

The Democrats' Senate problem is inside their party. But he might not be for much longer.

@BulwarkOnline What has King Charles ever accomplished? What is the UK's GDP vs USAs?

The Republicans in Congress are far more subservient to Trump than any member of Parliament is to King Charles III.

@MarkRuffalo Hey Mark - Why don't you open the borders of your mansion for some illegals?

Scott gets very hot and bothered by a smart man that’s younger than him. It is hilarious how entitled and superior he acts when you bring up real cogent points. Or makes slights about your masculinity like a man who is worried about his own. But like all MAGA’s they demand agreement without earning it and resort to violence when they are being bested on ideas. Good job staying on point and composed.
As Trump melts down so do his enablers.
One day he will pretend he was always against this.
Like all the neocon hacks of Iraq.
And all the boosters for the genocide against the Palestinian people. And the Epstein Class. They only follow power and have no real moral center.

Scott Jennings claimed I got in his face; Watch what actually happened in the full CNN segment. He throws a personal jab... then folds the second he gets pressed. Scott loves to dish it but can’t take it.
