The obvious answer to that is never. It's always wink wink look the other way with the employers and the GOP. Which always brings me back to this article. Nunes sued over it and lost, because it's the truth.

I cannot adequately express how much I want them to hire her. She'd make Katie Zacharia look like Jim Brady.
Yes, Slob Job, Nicki Minaj would make the perfect press secretary. Her husband is a registered sex offender convicted of rape who also served about 7 years for manslaughter. Her brother was convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child and is serving 25 years to life.

I asked every person I met in Port Neches and Groves Tx., a next-door community, if they knew that Indorama had asked for and received a Trump exemption, removing the requirement at least for now that Indorama take steps to curb cancer-causing emissions. No one had been told. Many were angry.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

My 2 cents is this is definitely a streaming thing. Rewind over the shocking bits to make sure you actually saw that n pauses for snacks
I'm glad that "MUSK" got a theatrical release, not a lot of documentaries do, but I get why a lot of people would rather watch a film like this from home just a few more weeks before you can rent it!

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

let me get this right, Tesla wants to put a reverse Oceangate sub disaster next to a select group of the richest idiots and Elon Musk stans alive... and you're booing?
Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

Simply imagine a Lockheed, Boeing or other prime defense contractor - out of nowhere, no communication - implementing some terms of service or term in a contract they think they have without reaching out first to say we think you are violating this. As a result we will nerf your crucial technology.
