It doesn't necessarily have to, but then you have someone like Trisha Cotham in NC who switched parties to give the GOP a veto-proof majority and has been voting with them in lockstep ever since.
If they weren't planning on acting as Republicans they could just as easily become independents.
"Person we hired to say things says the thing" more at 11.
Really irresponsible reporting, to be honest.
I was interested in it but at the end of the day Dorsey got Twitter into its initially mediocre state, and he's endorsed RFK Jr. as well as Musk's purchase of Twitter. So should I really expect it to be any better? I'll keep an eye on it but my expectations aren't terribly high.
The goal isn't to create successful states, it's to create politically safe states. Doesn't matter if the state crumbles as long as that crumble is red.
This principle exists to shield the people from their government. It is not intended to be (and has never been) a protection for someone's social status or reputation.
The real question is how much would I accept in payment to use Twitter. It's probably not a lot, but it surely is not negative.
I don't think it's that simple. Heinous allegations can make that business relationship untenable. YouTube has an image to protect as well as other partnerships to maintain. There are people (not just wealthy executives) whose livelihood relies on those things,.
If a person's reputation, fair or not, creates a risk to those things, why should YouTube be forced to assume that risk on their behalf?
Not just US interests, but European and Ukrainian interests as well. There was a multi-national effort to remove Shokin. You think Joe Biden orchestrated all of that to get his son a cushy board membership? It's laughable.
"If you work for part of the day you still get the day off" is certainly an...interesting perspective.
If the company you're representing would prefer you didn't, then sure.
Let's use another example, if someone was a big supporter of fascism and was wearing a hat or mask that said, "save fascists", would you prefer the store couldn't prevent them from wearing that?
How bad would the phrase have to get to change your mind?
The statement itself shouldn't be political in its sentiment, but obviously the organization exists and it has its own policy positions, events, advocacy, and I can go to their website to donate. I think it's fairly obvious which one Whole Foods would be concerned with.
Is that legal? I know you're not allowed to fundraise off your crimes, does that also apply to civil cases?
Putting on the all too familiar Jets copium hat, they pulled out a W under catastrophic circumstances yesterday against a very good division rival. The Bills defense is going to give most QBs trouble especially when the O-Line isn't holding up well, so I don't think you can make too harsh of a judgement on Zach's performance (even though it wasn't too bad as is).
Now he's got a week to prepare with the starting unit and they can game plan around him, so let's see if he's learned anything from Coach Rodgers.
The one thing in his favor is that he was already a pocket passing QB and it's his front foot when throwing, so the losses you usually think of when it comes to an achilles injury aren't as significant. But he is 40 years old, so any significant injury at that age is going to be a possible career ender.
Something tells me the secessionists wouldn't agree with that. Are they going to let their urban centers secede from their states if they voted to do so?
And there's a decent chance he is elected again in 2024. This country is broken.
A billion people are on track to die from climate change, according to some estimates.

Even if we call that highly inflated, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, some non-negligible number will certainly die as a result with some multiple of that facing harsh negative impacts. A disproportionate number of those will be in Africa.
If your argument is based in morality, it's absolutely absurd to suggest the moral concerns of cobalt mining outweighs that of climate change.
You raised a very valid concern, let's work to make it better instead of running back into the burning building.
Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police
The Blendon Township, Ohio police department released bodycam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took the life of Ta’Kiya Young. Young was accused of shoplifting by an employee and tried to leave the scene. CNN’s Miguel Marquez reports.
Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.
This is murder.
