Not shocked Urban Meyer is going with Nebraska.

CNN is reporting that the national GOP has abandoned Nebraska CD02. House Republicans are entering triage mode and are now discussing pulling money from from the open seat in Nebraska, per 3 sources.

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is still "neutral" on the Governor's race and isn't endorsing Pillen. This is a big change from their endorsement of Pillen just four years ago. The Farm Bureau is known for nearly exclusively endorsing Republicans in agricultural states across the country.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

Heat kills over 500 workers each year in the U.S. (probably a gross undercount), but Trump is trying to weaken a proposed OSHA heat standard and FL & TX have forbidden localities from protecting workers. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/b...

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

The deadly production of asbestos linked Southern Africa - where it was mined - and Britain - where it was processed - but compensation for workers does not reflect this. Only £191k of the £127m in compensation has gone to claimants in Southern Africa: confrontpower.org/turner-and-n...

This month is the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and it reminds me that the ADA could not be passed today. It probably couldn’t get a vote in committee today.

KOBEISSI: “.. The 10Y Note Yield has officially erased all of its losses since the "Memorandum of Understanding" was signed. .. This puts the 10Y Note Yield up to 4.63%, near its highest level since January 2025. .. 7% mortgage rates in the US are on their way.”

“The entirety of the document consists of very specific battle plans for the scorched-earth military conquest of Azerbaijan and a clear directive that all persons named in the will immediately begin deploying troops to carry out these objectives,” said a person close to Graham’s family

The stereotype that plaintiff‘s lawyers will intentionally bring bullshit cases annoys me to no end. I have every incentive to say no to bad cases because I will not get paid on them. Much stronger incentive in commercial practices to bring bullshit cases bc your client will stay pay you.

This essay already has more than 125,000 "reads". I hope it is read by executives at Costco, Home Depot and Lowe's Companies, since they have the power to stop selling a product that is literally killing workers.

Classic Trump 2 story in how it works as a grim shaggy-dog joke. Dozens of creeps lying and backstabbing and hiring Trumpy lobbyists and de facto bribing RFK Jr. and the end result is Trump blearily saying "we're looking very strongly at approving this, or maybe not." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

President Builder blew up a bunch of shit in Iran for no reason and now has his Real Estate Developer Son working on a surrender deal that makes 300B available for Building. im sure there's no weird corrupt throughline anywhere here

It’s both unbelievable and utterly predictable that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense and the director of the CIA are all furiously distancing themselves from the Iran deal, which was negotiated by Trump’s golf pal and son-in-law

In case we had any doubt

If these Iran-deal details are correct , they’ll make the JCPOA look like Hirohito’s surrender in 1945 Via the WSJ’s chief foreign-affairs correspondent

Zipline Brewing was going to host a political event for Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz on Friday. The staff made noise and promised to quit or skip, so the owners just fired everyone and closed shop. If you miss the wonderful beers of Zipline in the coming weeks and months, you have Ted Cruz to thank.
