Was this a proposed 12 weeks paid down to 4? Little lost, because currently isn’t it actually 0? To get paid I had to zero out my PTO and lean into FLMA for them to not get rid of me. Then once that time was up, they did anyway. Sorry, off topic. Yes.
we are the only major industrialized nation globally not to offer PFL. Its a disgrace. Because MOST people in larger companies (that have to FMLA) have to do what you do, save up alllllll your PTO and then take unpaid/or short term disability.
You forgot the part where if you have a baby in January/ beginning of fiscal year you come back with 0 leave for the rest of the year, which is totally realistic for an infant starting in daycare. Or needing any services/ healthcare beyond 6 weeks for mom or baby. /bitter

jaygee shared this thread in the blinds which is very informative I hate almost everything about this. Seems dangerous AF and totally unecessary! I am very strongly anti-guns always though, so maybe I am biased.

SCOTUS set the oral arguments for the TX abortion bill on 11/1 after refusing to issue an injunction. Cue existential dread and abject fear for all my fellow females.

Columbo solved an accidental on set shooting like that where the blank was changed out to a live round. The person loading the gun is at fault

Jen's up. POTUS is traveling to NJ on Monday, campaigning with Mcauliffe in Arlington on Tuesday, and going overseas on Wednesday. Jake Sullivan is visiting the briefing room next week.

She just said what so many fail to understand: it's not the bill they want or the one Manchinema will vote for, it's what Manchinema will vote for or nothing.

POTUS must have misspoken on Taiwan during his town hall last night. I don't know what he said but Jen has had to say, "Our policy has not changed" about 4 times.

Jen: "I think the president will have more to say on [the filibuster] in the coming weeks...we know the right to vote and the rule of law are under attack..."

I got an email that GOTV texting has started for Virginia. If anyone's interested in joining me, I'll share a link. They're texting for Mark Herring right now. ETA: It's through Open Progress. More info here: www.openprogress.com/text-troop

Doocey: Which is more important to this president? Vaccinating people or Christmas presents?
Yeah. That's not word for word but that was his question. A labor group representing ground delivery drivers is asking POTUS to delay the OSHA rule until after the holidays.

thank you Ayesha Roscoe!! she's actually digging into what is surviving in the hatchet job on Build Back Better. Unfortunately Jen can't really say that from the podium but Politico had a convincing rundown this morning.

The administration still opposes the Remain in Mexico policy so DHS is working with legal to issue a new memorandum that will effectively end the program and be upheld in court.
