The Democratic National Committee is hiring IT people for these positions:

The Daily Wire, a conservative blog, posted an e-mail purportedly from Madeleine Leader, the DNC's Data Services Manager, showing her announcing the openings and writing

I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

The Daily Wire blogger posted a different screenshot of the e-mail on Twitter.

Also at The Hill

    The Aleppo question was asked immediately following a back-and-forth regarding the two-party US election system [time.com]. There was no indication that the interviewer had changed the subject, and no additional context was given before asking the question:

    What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo?

    Competent interviewers generally provide some lead-in to changes in subject, for the benefit both of the interviewee and of the audience. Unless, that is, the actual intent of the interview is to trick the interviewee and make them appear foolish.
    Good job the US media remain resolutely politically neutral.

    So I contend that Johnson did not actually ask "what is Aleppo?", but "what is a leppo?".
    Something to do with particle physics, isn't it?

    Cross between a leopard and a hippo. Possibly the scariest animal ever discovered.

    Which is why Johnson's response should have been "kill every single one", or "nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure". That would have given him half of the Republicannon and Democrater vote immediately.
