The anecdotes don't seem that bad, and the people willing to go on the record all seem to defend her or are somewhat sympathetic. But if she struggles at keeping staff maybe there's something not great going on.

I've worked for some weird bosses, but if they're also working hard I think most of the stuff in there is easier to justify.


I'm with JH; not thrilled to read such anecdotes but I would imagine you could insert the name of most of Congress and it would still be true. Does not excuse it, of course. I'd also like to know a bit more about who left and why before putting too much weight on her staff turnover.

I hope that the Fake News screamers, and Fox take note that the VA Politics scandal embroiling 3 Democrats is a 24/7 event.

That Klobuchar article was pretty disheartening. That's not leadership just more bullying.

Called the police when she saw races mixing... She's not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve.

She has an adopted daughter from Bangladesh so you'd think mixed race families would be something she'd be more attuned to more than most

Wow, the republican memes are getting downright nasty. People from my congregations posting this terrible "cartoon" with Trump "putting AOC in her place," of course calling her a dumb bitch. People yelling about Stacey Abrams and her teeth.

They love to dish this shit out, but they can't take it. I currently have almost all of my congregation members on snooze on Facebook.

Donald Trump has accidentally told an audience of global religious leaders that America’s greatest accomplishments include the “abolition of civil rights” during the National Prayer Breakfast.

“Since the founding of our nation, many of our greatest strides, from gaining our independence to abolition of civil rights, to extending the vote for women, have been led by people of faith and started in prayer,” the president said on Thursday. “When we open our hearts to faith we fill our hearts with love.”

[PROPUBLICA] Greenberg found that working-class white voters who switched from Barack Obama to Trump are deeply angry about soaring prescription drug prices. As a result, they vehemently oppose a key provision benefiting Big Pharma at the core of Trump’s renegotiation of NAFTA


Hey, new year, new drug prices. We have 2 prescriptions that went nuts. One is a +100 year old formulation that went from $15 to $110, and another is $297 for a 30 day supply. The second replaces a $60/month formulation that is no longer available. That is the negotiated pricing out of my pocket.

Mrs. Vulture was on the phone with the on-line pharmacy benefits company ordering some medication, and even the customer service rep was pissed about what was happening in the pharmaceutical world.

They always ask me if I am sure. Good thing we both work I guess, but that is something. We are on this treadmill of finding the right meds for the right price VS quality of life. Neither are necessary to stay alive, so that is good.
