Shoppers at a Wisconsin Dollar General were left with a surprising notice when arriving at the store earlier this month, being greeted by signs notifying them that the location’s staff all quit at the same time.
..............................
A large green sign was posted Saturday morning on the front door of the store in Mineral Point, around 54 miles west of Madison, with the following message:
............................
An accompanying sign read:
"We QUIT! Thank you to our amazing customers. We love you and will miss you."
The signs left outside the store were posted in the "Iowa County Confessions" Facebook group.
........................
"Take this as a notice that we the team at store 20610 located in Mineral Point, WI all quit! We can not and will not work for a company that does not stand behind in true honest form of what they want the world to see them as. Although we love and adore our customers, we must take a stand for the community and not allow corporate greed to continue preventing people in need of the help they need and could receive. Policies, processes and procedures need to change! Don't make claims about supporting and helping communities when the reality is that it's all about the bottom line and not about support or help!"

Kristi Noem faces lawsuit after promoting Texas dentist on social media
Travelers United asked a federal court to order the South Dakota governor to pay damages due to her social media posts the group says are advertisements.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was sued in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday over her promotion of a Texas dentist on her social media accounts this week.
......................................
Doctors at Smile Texas helped adjust Noem's teeth from a biking accident years before that knocked out all of her front teeth, she says in the roughly five-minute video.
"The team here was remarkable and finally gave me a smile that I can be proud of and confident in, and that really is a gift that I think is going to be incredibly special to have," Noem says. "I chose the team here at Smile Texas because they’re the best."
The lawsuit accuses Noem of "deceptive advertising practices," which the group says violated consumer protection laws in Washington, D.C. It also cites Federal Trade Commission guidelines on including language to distinguish social media posts as advertisements.
Noem "seems to have taken up work as a social media influencer," the group wrote in the filing, arguing that the video post is intended to promote medical tourism and advertise services to D.C. residents.
“Companies, like Smile Texas, pay influencers, like Kristi Noem, to promote their product or service to her followers,” the filing, submitted by Lauren Wolfe, an attorney for Travelers United, said.
“There is no disclosure that this is an advertisement or that she received any free or discounted medical procedures in exchange for this social media advertisement,” the document added.....................
Today--Trump expected to attend Judge Cannon hearing to seek dismissal of classified documents case

Trump expected to attend hearing to seek dismissal of classified documents case
The judge is scheduled to hear arguments over two motions to dismiss the case

Former President Donald Trump is expected to be in the courtroom Thursday when his attorneys argue for the dismissal of his federal classified documents case.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon scheduled the hearing in Fort Pierce, Florida, to consider two of Trump's motions to dismiss the case based on what Trump's attorneys claim is special counsel Jack Smith's unconstitutionally vague use of the Espionage Act and his application of the Presidential Records Act.
In response, Smith argues that the former president's motions to dismiss the case are yet another example of Trump believing he is above the law.

"Trump's claims rest on three fundamental errors, all of which reflect his view that, as a former President, the Nation's laws and principles of accountability that govern every other citizen do not apply to him," prosecutors wrote in a filing responding to Trump's motion to dismiss based on the Presidential Record Act.
In addition to Trump, his co-defendants in the case, aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira, are both expected to attend the hearing.

Polish Prime Minister Calls Out Speaker Johnson For Refusing To Pass Ukraine Aid

Ukraine needs the help, Johnson refuses
Jordy Meiselas 11 hours ago
After meeting with the White House, Poland's Prime Minister called out Republican Speaker Mike Johnson for refusing to pass additional aid to Ukraine. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has been increasingly critical of House Republicans for failing to move forward with a bill that would provide aid to Ukraine and other allies of America overseas. Read the full quote below:
According to latest reports, Johnson is not only refusing to put aid to Ukraine on the House floor for a vote, but he is also working behind the scenes to stop any discharge effort that would force a vote on the bipartisan bill. While Johnson continues to drag his feet over supporting our allies, President Biden has moved forward with a massive new $300 million aid package provided directly from the Department of Defense, bypassing Congressional approval. ...................................

Rep Comer Lies on TV and says: Thump "had documents in one location behind a locked door."
First, Trump had some boxes on an open stage and second--he took some to NJ.

@Acyn
Comer: You look at how Donald Trump is treated. He had documents in one location behind a locked door.

@MikeSington
In what could be the most ridiculous, outrageous, fraudulent, dishonest case of branding ever, Trump has now given himself a nickname: “Honest Don”.

Nancy Mace keeps tweeting
I do not follow her so I have not read them--except a few that are passed on by others.
Anyway, I read someplace last night that she had 40 tweets about this already. She is like Trump-she does not know when to shut up!
This is her 38th post about it.

@cooltxchick
Riddle me this Nancy Disgrace @NancyMace
, as a rape survivor (I’m one myself, but I don’t use the term victim), you claim to be an advocate yet I have never seen you actually advocating for survivors in a real way.
I was curious, so I Googled ‘Nancy Mace supports survivors of sexual assault,’ nada. Then I went to your website, because I thought for sure you have links to resources, snippets of your work helping and advocating for women and girls survivors…nada.
What I did find interesting was under the ‘Women’s Rights’ link on your site you talked about the Citadel and your support of pregnancy crisis centers. Not rape crisis centers, of which there are 15 in the state you represent.
In the wake of Laken Riley’s brutal rape and murder that the GOP has co-opted for optics, I thought for sure you would amplify the dangers coeds face on college and University campuses and the resources available at Clemson University and the University of South Carolina that help survivors of sexual assault on campus…nada.
Not a mention of any work with or support for the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, or the South Carolina Sexual Assault and Child Advocacy Center.
I’ll wait…
