@phanuel I think he's referring to Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon). They both have lawsuits against the National Labor Relations Board: https://truthout.org/articles/in-direct-attack-on-labor-movement-amazon-claims-nlrb-is-unconstitutional/

Is anybody else having an issue with the cdc.gov "COVID-19 County Check"? It's just stuck on "Loading..." for me.

Does anybody know an easy way to find the current NWSS covid level for a specific state?

I can go to https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID19-nationaltrend.html and scroll down just a bit to see "Nationally, the wastewater viral activity level for COVID-19 is currently High." But I can't find any similar text-based description for individual states.

When I click for individual states/territories, I can see a graph showing levels trending upward, but finding the current state activity level appears to require deciphering several similar shades of blue/green on the map. FL, MA, and WA all appear to be brighter green than any of the greens provided in the key. All the blues on the map for ME, WI, etc also appear too bright. Can anyone help?

from The #AssociatedPress:

"Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub sued New York City on Thursday to block its new minimum pay rules for food delivery workers.

"The recently announced rules, touted as a national first, could nearly triple average earnings for app-based delivery workers in the coming years. An increased pay rate of $17.96 an hour is set to take effect July 12.

"New York’s more than 60,000 delivery workers currently make an average of $7.09 an hour, according to the city."

"The man accused of fatally shooting five people in Philadelphia Monday night told police he carried out the shooting to clean up the neighborhood...

"Authorities are now looking into a since-deleted social media believed to have belonged to the shooting suspect... that featured several posts about guns, the 'loss of freedoms' and the Second Amendment, according to a source. The page's most recent public post, made at 10:49 a.m. ET Monday, included a video ad for a tactical weapons accessories company that showed a man in tactical gear holding what seemed to be a military-style rifle. The suspect also shared posts in May from pro-gun groups that supported the Second Amendment and former President Donald Trump.

"Another social media post from last month featured a video mocking a speech by President Joe Biden, captioned with [the shooter]'s belief that Biden was trying to 'take our arms.' another post from the same June day read[,] 'The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see.'

"In 2020, Jones won his race to represent the 17th district. But when redistricting happened, it placed him in direct competition with Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who chaired the House Democrats campaign arm. Rather than run against Maloney, Jones opted to run in the 10th district instead, where he lost to Congressman Dan Goldman. Maloney also lost the general election race to Lawler."
