If you’ve ever wanted to dish on your former employer’s bad behavior to Investigative Post, but couldn’t because you signed a non-disparagement clause, the National Labor Relations Board has delivered good news. In guidance issued this week, NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo said that any non-disparagement clause not “narrowly-tailored” will no longer hold up legally. Vice has a good breakdown here.

Trump ridiculed after eulogy for Lindsey Graham veers off course: ‘Stickler for accuracy!’



President Donald Trump couldn't even stay on topic during one of the simplest moments of his eulogy for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday.

Graham was almost always a loyal supporter of the president — yet despite this, he went out of his way to argue with the pre-prepared remarks about how great Graham was.

"Virtually everyone liked Lindsey," said Trump. "Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."

This comment earned instant mockery from commenters on social media.

"I love how @realDonaldTrump is such a stickler for accuracy," wrote conservative lawyer turned anti-Trump activist and former congressional candidate George Conway.

"Trump objecting to the work of his speechwriters again," wrote Vanity Fair Washington correspondent Aidan McLaughlin.

"All those years of Lindsey sucking up to this psycho, and this is the thanks he gets," wrote podcaster and political personality Jo Carducci, better known as "JoJoFromJerz."

"He cared so much about Lindsey he didn’t read his prepared remarks before the funeral," wrote Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko.
