Leadership positions at the Tennessee Valley Authority are the most lucrative government jobs in the U.S. Since 2020, the top six executives at TVA have collectively banked nearly $90 million. CEO made $12M a year for three years. Part of those salaries came from decisions to put more fossil fuel infrastructure in the Tennessee Valley, and residents essentially signed the checks through their electricity bills, according to a new report by the Center for Biological Diversity. "People who rely on TVA for power are the ones losing out. They're continuing to pay executives who are making decisions contrary to the public good," said Gaby Sarri-Tobar, an energy justice campaigner at the center. read more

For the first time in 74 years, CBC did not broadcast NHL hockey on Saturday night, instead filling its traditional Hockey Night in Canada window with cricket. The change follows the end of CBC's agreement with Sportsnet, with the two sides unable to reach a new deal after Rogers secured a new 12-year, $11-billion NHL rights agreement. CBC says it will continue broadcasting hockey, including women's PWHL games, but the end of Saturday-night NHL coverage marks a major break from one of the broadcaster's most iconic traditions. read more
The latest sales tax increase in Los Angeles County took effect Thursday after voters approved a half-cent hike in June to support health care and other essential services.

I posted the same question to AI about the period between 1980 and 2020. Just not seeing a lot about the power of teachers' unions yet.
You need to use your head. Sometimes people need to realize the propaganda that their AI requests generate.
The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have long opposed standardized testing in K-12 education, and they extended this position to college admissions.
Join NEA in calling on colleges and universities to rely on well-rounded information beyond standardized tests so that together, we can ensure every student has a chance to gain the real-world skills they need to succeed.

You seriously can't be posting AI and not think its full of propaganda.
Almost like they're desperate to deflect from Ken Paxton headlines like:
It certainly would be a good play.
I was really surprised Talarico was claiming he was at home. Doesn't he have Internet?
Just seems quite odd, running for something in a tight race to just disappear for 12-13 days no appearances, then claim the flu on day 14.
What makes this so funny is that it's Ken Paxton, the guy impeached by Texas Republicans for corruption.
Well it is Texas ...
Pro tip: HIPAA doesn't allow medical facilities to confirm treatment or give details. But correcting a lie about a non-patient IS LEGAL.
You should really ask a pro before claiming a "pro tip".
HIPPA does nor prohibit medical facilities from saying they were admitted either.
Yes. Covered hospitals and other covered health care providers can use a facility directory to inform visitors or callers about a patient's location in the facility and general condition
