No, but not sure how thats relevant. Their salaries also come from our taxes. Other federal employees aren’t the ones putting medical debt back onto credit reports.

They have FEHB same as many federal employees. This gives them even more options than ACA and allows them to keep health insurance into retirement. The federal government like any employer covers a lot of their premiums.

Nisolo is made in Italy from Peruvian leather.

Scihub if its before the last few years. Otherwise email authors and/or post a link on a science forum asking if anyone has a pdf to share.

Peter Thiel is also gay and one of Trump’s biggest funders.

Just an FYI to any parents reading this. Children can get the measles vaccine at 6mo. The normal US vaccine schedule has it later because we had eradicated it.

Federal judges are insured on the taxpayer dime.

Not using thunder(on Boost) but I also browse “all” instead of local. I see mostly new stuff though if I browse top then the top stays pretty stagnant until the next time increment.

Mamdami is WFP (working families party) endorsed and they’ve been going to bat for him too in their newsletters. While 3rd party is more viable in NY its primarily in an endorsement type thing as candidates can run under multiple parties (thus listed multiple times on the same ballot) and you choose the party you vote for them under. Theoretically, this gives the 3rd party more sway in pushing policies but it is rarely straight 3rd party candidates.

Yes, dog is allowed and yes washable couch cover.

Regardless of exact phrasing it shows how disconnected those people feel they are from politics. Biden dropping and Kamala coming in was months before election day there was plenty of reporting across networks about it.
