Procurement is painful, so Pivot wants to simplify it
Earlier this year, a big French tech company started requiring an email to the CEO for every purchase above €1,000. That’s because they didn’t have the right tool to manage procurement. Meet Pivot, a new French startup that wants to overhaul spend management solutions. Pivot wants to work with young companies that are growing fast […]

GOP: Evidence? We Don't Need No Stinking Evidence!
Stella Magz takes Lauren Boebert a lesson on what evidence actually is. She then went on to give Boebert examples of what evidence is and what it isn't, using some examples that were "handy." (See what I did there?!) But, as a caveat, I must warn everyone not to hold their breath in the expectation that Boebert is able to understand, much less remember, the lesson. The evidence points to the opposite being true.
Open thread below....

Buttigieg Takes A Sledgehammer To Trump In The Most Polite Way Ever
Gen. Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he will take "appropriate measures" to protect himself and his family after the twice-impeached one-termer suggested that he is guilty of treason, and said he should be executed. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was interviewed on Inside with Jen Psaki, and he calmly and nicely called out Donald Trump over his disdain for the military. Buttigieg is like the most polite sledgehammer ever.
"The level of disrespect for the American military, not to mention for the general, is both shocking and not shocking," Buttigieg said. "I mean, look, this is part of a lifelong pattern with the former president that I would argue was first displayed when he faked a disability in order to avoid having to go to Vietnam and allowed, I assume, some working-class person to go in his place, and has continued ever since."
"Made a name for himself by basically saying that he did not respect John McCain because he was a war hero," he continued. "And look, a lot of this, obviously, is to get attention, and you hesitate to reward that. On the other hand, we do, in fact, still have some boundaries that matter in this country."
"And one of them is that our regard for the military and our respect for the military is nonpartisan, it's nonpolitical, and it's universal," he said. "And that is especially important because that's part of how the military does their job."

Wisconsin Speaker Vos Denies Threat To Impeach New Justice
At the beginning of September, Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos threatened to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz,if she did not recuse herself from cases regarding the GOP's gerrymandered maps.
A week and a half later, Vos backpedaled from the threat, denying that he ever made the threat at all. He blamed the accusations on the Democrats and the supposed liberal mainstream media for running with that ugly, ugly lie in order for the Democrats to use it as a fundraiser.
Sadly, the media was apparently too busy doing all their liberal duties to ask Vos to explain this:
GOPer Jason Smith Rips Matt Gaetz's Motion To Vacate
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) lashed out at Republican colleague Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida after he said he would try to end Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) speakership.
During an interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo noted that Gaetz said on Sunday that he would bring a motion to vacate to oust McCarthy over a government funding bill.
"It's an absolute waste of time if he brings a motion to vacate," Smith said. "The only way a motion to vacate could be successful is if Matt Gaetz did exactly what he yells at Speaker McCarthy doing, and that's working with the Democrats."
"He'd have to get more than 200 plus Democrats to join him to remove Kevin McCarthy, because more than 200 Republicans are 100% behind Speaker McCarthy," he added. "If, in fact, he does this motion to vacate, Maria, that will only slow walk the process of getting to every one of those individual funding bills that he proclaims that he wants to pass."
Smith predicted Gaetz would work with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to remove McCarthy.
"And let me tell you, if you remove a Republican speaker that then puts the Democrats empowered, these investigations [of President Joe Biden] will be done and stalled," the lawmaker said.

Shutdown Averted ... Or Postponed
Happy October 1st. The government is still open, after Kevin McCarthy caved and put a clean CR on the floor, reauthorizing the FAA, continuing funding at current levels, and not authorizing additional Ukraine aid. Apparently the only thing Republicans really wanted was to serve Putin and cut Ukraine. They didn't really even succeed at that, but in 45 days we could find ourselves in the same boat.
At any rate, the shutdown is at least postponed until just before Thanksgiving and the government will continue to function. Suck it, Matt Gaetz.
Happy Sunday! What's giving you joy today?
