DID YOU KNOW...

LBJ March 31, 1968 announcement he wasn't running for reelection was made during a 40-MINUTE TV address.
And his surprise line "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President" was made during the 39th minute

@JamesFallows “Where were you when you heard the news?” Personally, I was voting on your choice of a new car… a poll for the history books 🤣

.@USEEOC chair Charlotte Burrows says in a statement re: the scotus decision today that

"It remains lawful for employers to implement diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs that seek to ensure workers of all backgrounds are afforded equal opportunity"

@bmorrissey Not sure if you are joking or serious but this is actually true.

The debt ceiling battle has a hidden problem that is really tough to solve, especially for federal employees -- The People Behind the Federal Spending Cut Dilemmas https://t.co/dYko9cAN59 via @GovExec @wdeggers @napawash @ASPANational @GovExec

[Tim Hartman @timhartman]

Why don't more federal agencies tout their economic impact like NASA? People think of a NASA investment much differently than, say, a DOT investment...

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

NASA research has led to the development of 2000+ commercialized products and services (called "NASA spin-off technologies") including:

• Invisalign
• CAT Scans
• Baby formula
• Memory foam
• Home insulation
• Computer mouse
• Ear thermometer
• Freeze-dried food
• Cell phone cameras
• Scratch-resistant lenses
• Water-purification (for pools)
• Athletic shoes (shock absorbers)
• Black & Decker Dustbuster vacuum

There have been so many spin-offs that NASA has a web portal and print publication to catalog them. The portal also says these 3 famous examples — Tang, Velcro, Teflon — were *not* made by NASA.

161 years ago today, slavery in the District was eliminated, and 3,100 enslaved people were freed. DC's Emancipation Day holiday commemorates this. #EmancipationDay

the IRS released its implementation plan for the inflation reduction act -- here's the tech stuff, which, as Danny Werfel said, kind of underpins all of the IRS' goals here
