Just another way “our representatives “ game the system at taxpayer expense. Don’t know the history but I bet it passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Just more corporate greed.
This is what you get when Republicans’ only reason for being in office is to benefit themselves. We need some sort of personality test for Public Servants that can weed out the greedy and narcissistic asshats before they get elected.
Let’s build congress a dormitory. No rent, meals in the cafeteria on the first floor and we’ll even give the Republikkkants the upper floors. *That’s* streamlining.
Yeah, I read this too. Pisses me off royally. Swalwell? Come on, man. The whole thing should make EVERY taxpayer mad. No accountability and at our expense.
I'm not surprised by any of this ... not even Swalwell, to be honest. It's hard to play the DC game for a significant period of time and not be at least a little tempted.
"It augurs a change to the traditional structure of the Post. In his memo, Lewis mentioned “three newsrooms.” Winnett will not take on the title of executive editor, but he will be responsible for the “core coverage areas” of politics, investigations, business, technology, sports and features. He has run The Telegraph’s news operations since 2013, the Post said.
Murray will take over as leader of the newly-created department starting Nov. 6, the Post said. No one will have the title of executive editor: Murray, Winnett and David Shipley, the editorial page editor who will lead the “opinions newsroom,” will each report directly to Lewis, the Post said.
“By creating three strong journalism functions — core, service/social and opinions — we are taking a definitive step away from the ‘one size fits all’ approach and moving towards meeting our audiences where they are,” Lewis said."
Yeah, this doesn't augur well. I get it, news is hard, it is expensive, but Tik-Tok-izing news is just wrong on so fucking many levels. I will have more to write about this horrible path. (Buzbee was honorable to resign rather than to be part of this homeless abortion of an idea)
Clarifying details for anyone who hasn't read the AP piece: Matt Murray is a former Wall Street Journal editor in chief; and Robert Winnett is currently deputy editor of the UK's Telegraph Media Group. So it appears that WaPo will be tacking hard to the right.
I wonder how many left-leaning staff will depart ... voluntarily or otherwise.
Yup, but nope they won’t. They merely see the no receipts scam as getting their fair share after CFFG, convicted felon former guy, proved that grifting the government was an acceptable form of payola without recourse.
JFC. I had a corporate card and I still needed receipts for anything over $25 to show what it was for. I even gave receipts for shit under $25 because I didn’t want anyone to ever accuse me of profiting off the company. Nobody ever did and my boss later told me it was because my expenses were so reasonable nobody ever questioned them.
Sad when the entire government gives off the putrid scent of corruption. Might be time for a total reboot.
ALL POLITICIANS ARE CORRUPT.
The ever deepening lows of GOP/Q fuckery!😒🤡🎃🤡

You will not be surprised that it passed with overwhelming bi-partisan support.
If you wanna talk about government waste of taxpayer dollars, you should look into the waste happening up here in the land of Crazy Canucks!

I know you're busy at your convention and thus you may not have heard the biggest WaPo news, but at your convenience and if you're so inclined, I'm interested in your thoughts on it: https://apnews.com/article/washington-post-buzbee-resign-editor-705e69a42fe8022ce46205bb06932fb8
Sure Jan, Buzbee resigned. For fuck's sake.
Holy fucking bullshit of bad ideas:

Bezos’ needs them tax breaks…
He can eat every bag of shit that North Korea recently send over the border to South Korea ... including the plastic.
Yup, but nope they won’t. They merely see the no receipts scam as getting their fair share after CFFG, convicted felon former guy, proved that grifting the government was an acceptable form of payola without recourse.
I can’t believe this even exists!

Same here. Trustworthiness breeds trust or should anyway!
