So a trans woman that was arrested and jailed in connection to the January 6th riot is trying to get in a women's prison but got denied. They are being held in a men's prison and are now appealing to Congressional Republicans for help. Including Marjorie Taylor Greene

Assuming they are reported…

But if they aren’t, it’s basically shifting the tax burden back to the company since the expense has any recorded. I wonder whether Disney or the average Disney employee has the higher marginal tax rate.

And they are legit mad about this plot twist.
