Tennessee: Tennessee is known as the Volunteer State because of its high number of volunteers during the War of 1812, specifically at the Battle of New Orleans. Breaking Updates Toxic Workplace Leads to Employee Suicide at LA County Department of Public Health Back in 2022 we wrote about the terrible working conditions in the Environmental Health Division of the LA County Department of Public Health where, according to a whistleblower, Director Liza Frias runs a tyrannical and retaliatory toxic workplace. In spite of numerous actions by the employee union to address the issues, including sending cease and desist letters to Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer and a vote of no confidence, nothing has been done - and now there are deadly consequences. [Last Thursday, LA County Environmental Health Specialist Heather Hughes took her own life](by jumping off the top of the 18-story building in which the Environmental Health Division is housed. Co-workers say that Hughes had been dealing with depression for some time and that Associate Director Brenda Lopez denied Hughes' request for a medical leave of absence despite it being recommended by Hughes' doctor. From a written statement a co-worker sent to RedState: Hughes left a suicide note in her car accusing Brenda Lopez, Environmental Health assistant director, for her death. She accused Lopez, uniformly disliked by co-workers, of bullying, harassment, and not taking her needs and complaints about the division seriously.

This is just another example of X becoming the new media. As noted earlier, following the interview, Putin called Carlson a "dangerous person." [The Russian President continued, saying he was prepared for Tucker to ask questions]( in an aggressive manner. Putin "imagined he [Carlson] would behave in an aggressive manner and would ask so-called sharp questions”: Not only was I prepared for that, I wanted that, since it would provide me with an opportunity to respond likewise sharply, which, I believe, would give a certain special character to our whole conversation. However, he opted for different tactics, he tried to interrupt me several times, but still, surprisingly for a Western journalist, he was patient, he listened to my long speeches, especially those related to history, and did not let me do what I would have been ready to do.
