An Arkansas server who accepted a $4400 tip was fired after she refused to turn 80% of the tip over to her shift manager, who wanted to split it among the entire staff. The server had waited on a 40 person table with one other server, and they planned to split the gratuity evenly. When she didn’t want to give up the lions share of the tip, she lost her job.

Don Jr., Sean Hannity Tried to Get Trump to Stop the Jan 6 Riot
During a meeting of the House committee, Liz Cheney read texts to Mark Meadows from Don Jr. and various Fox News hosts essentially begging Trump to act to stop the Jan 6 riots.
“Mark, the President needs to tell people in the Capitol to go Home. This is hurting all of us,” Laura Ingraham texted as his supporters violently stormed the Capitol. “He is destroying his legacy.” Hannity texted “Can he make a statement, ask people to leave the Capitol.” And Brian Kilmeade texted, “Please get him on TV. Destroying everything you have accomplished.”
