Random thought: large corporations have spent billions of dollars producing pop culture where the villain is an evil soul-eating corporation.
The overall effect has been to turn "evil, soul-eating corporation" into a cliche and a kind of stock villain on the same level as Smaug the Dragon, rather than something that exists and is a real-world problem.
In other words, money well spent?

A powerful lesson - source unknown.
A teacher tells her students, "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought guilty.

On Election Day in November, #Pennsylvania Democrats won a state House Majority.
Due to 2 House members being elevated to higher office and the passing of another, there are 3 #SpecialElections on February 7. Republicans are desperate to take these seats, so it's essential to get the vote.
Information and a volunteer link:
PA-32: Joe McAndrew is the former executive director of the Allegheny County Democratic Committee. From a working family, he is committed to ensuring the state legislature puts families first.
PA-34: Abigail Salisbury serves on the Swissvale Borough Council, spending the past two years as its President. She is also a small business owner, working as a practicing solo attorney.
PA-35: Matthew Gergely serves as McKeesport’s finance director, and previously served as city administrator and as a McKeesport Area School District official. He will fight for schools and PA families.

Except (possibly, but really it seems unlikely?) escaping the constraints of the Debt Ceiling laws? That has to have been what he meant. Unless, well...
Just another glitch

Christian, incl Unitarian, & Jewish clergy challenge Missouri abortion bans under Missouri state constitution
They make establishment & free exercise claims:
Establishment: "the true purpose and effect of these laws was to enshrine certain religious beliefs in law.""
Free Exercise: plaintiffs " beliefs and lived experiences stand in stark contrast to the religious dictates that the Total Abortion Ban... impose on all Missourians"
