Congress Does Not Have An HR Department and There Is An Ugly Reason For That Why the Swalwell and Gonzales matters are not an anomaly

Former Congresswoman @marienewman.bsky.social writes about the bizarre lack of an HR dept. to oversee hiring, salary ranges, abusive relationships, etc., in the House of Representatives. Each Rep is the sole boss of their staff, nowhere else to turn. Good read.

The continued war with Iran will mean more death, more suffering, and more chaos.

End the war.

Agree!

Sanders: The ruling class said, “Look at China, it’s a market of a billion people. Do you know how many jobs we’re going to create selling our products to China?”

And what happened is thousands of factories in America were shut down.

And now we’re hearing again, “Hey, trust us.”

But unlike the Industrial Revolution, which created huge numbers of jobs, the goal of this revolution is to eliminate jobs.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

You are very kind -5
