.@XfinitySupport why can’t a customer service operator pick up a line until the service that has been down over 24 hrs. in N. Bethesda MD (DC Metro) is restored? The outgoing recording does not connect to anybody. Customer support is worse. No estimate of service renewal

BREAKING:

Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.

A village that has stood for thousands of years.

A place where Jesus once walked.

Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.

And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

@ClaytonNall @Nomads4Pritzker That’s what the government is supposed to do. Protect the consumer. Private sector cannot fund that research unless it is paid w higher prices by the consumer

Se suicidio un joven colombiano en un campo de concentración de *ICE del gobierno estadounidense.

Quería llamar a su mamá y no se le permitió. Decidió el suicidio.

La cancillería colombiana debe entregar nota de protesta y el gobierno de EEUU debe reflexionar cómo la política de inmigración está matando a estadounidenses y a latinoamericanos.

Un homenaje de toda la juventud colombiana a Brayan Rayo Garzón. QEPD

@AP Seems to have been a practice and then monetary policy and employment reinforced as delegated by Congress in 1977? Also: Fed Reserve Act Section 2A. MAC employment, stable prices and moderate L/T interest rates. Not sure Congress is the best group for these decisions w efficacy

This is a great summary of a very solid book by Gladwell. It should make you think. Yes, you can pick issues here and there, but the core point remains. Worth the read,

‘Open the school!’ Hundreds of parents are demanding Fairfax County to add more 5-day school weeks.

Right now, fewer than half of the school weeks have five days of instruction time in Fairfax County Public Schools.

Gail Slater, then-head of the DOJ's antitrust division, was reviewing HPE’s bid to acquire Juniper when she got a phone call from one of HPE's outside lawyers.

“If you don’t approve this settlement, I will destroy you. I will destroy your job at the DOJ,” Mike Davis told her, according to a deposition by her former deputy reviewed by @WSJ. Davis denies making the call.

Davis had been Slater’s friend for years and recommended her to Trump for the job. Now, he was advising HPE—and Slater and her team had proved resistant to the settlement terms he proposed.

The fallout was swift. Within months, two of Slater’s deputies were pushed out of the Justice Department. By February, Slater was gone, too.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.
