My boss reported ME to HR for mentioning my husband. He had no idea I'd been saving his messages for 8 months. Linda (HR): Josh, have a seat. A complaint's been filed against you. Me: Against me? By who? Linda: Gary Miller. He says you've been making him uncomfortable. Me: Uncomfortable how? Linda: He says you keep bringing up your husband at work. Me: Linda, I wear a ring. Last week Gary asked about my weekend and I said Mark and I went hiking. That's it. Linda: Gary feels personal topics shouldn't come up in the office. Me: Gary has a photo of his wife and kids on his desk. He talks about his wife's barbecue every Friday. Linda: I'm only telling you what's on the form. Me: Then I'd like to file one too.

Melanie D’Arrigo blasted Mitch McConnell after his return to the Senate following his medical leave. McConnell received paid sick leave for over 3 months & Cadillac health care paid for by taxpayers while he supported policies limiting paid sick leave & healthcare for Americans.

After years of planning and renovation, we officially reopened this iconic JMU space today. Carrier has always been an important part of the Madison Experience. Now, it’s ready to serve another generation of Dukes.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

If Mitch McConnell's staff want me to take this down, no problem. Just have the Senator call me and ask me to do it himself.
Meet the senior staff running Mitch McConnell's DC office. You pay their salaries. You're entitled to know what they're keeping from us. Let them know how you feel.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did. 250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur. A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before. An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of. The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock. A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor. A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support. Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him. $2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers. And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares. And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators? Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry. For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop? Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family? They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

New York Times investigative journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman are this generation's Woodward and Bernstein. This story is Trump's Watergate and it's about to EXPLODE: Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and former Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich converted the hallowed Situation Room — America's nerve center for real threats and decisive action — into a pedophile protection racket, where top officials huddled to cover-up the Epstein files scandal and protect a president who used to rape children for fun.

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Curt Newsome - one of the more respected football coaches in the Commonwealth of Virginia - at the age of 67. Newsome was Head Coach for 10 seasons at his alma mater, Emory & Henry. He also served as an assistant at James Madison and Virginia Tech. At the prep level, Newsome guided Kecoughtan HS to six playoff wins, including a trip to the State Championship game in 1997. Thoughts and prayers to his entire family. #RIP my friend!

Tim Kaine on VA Supreme court: "The timing of this ruling speaks volumes": "If the Virginia Supreme Court had legitimate concerns about this referendum, the time to stop it would have been before three million Virginians cast their ballots."

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out. MAGA has rigged the system.
