Drilling down UNDER THE HOOD of the jobs numbers, what's there is NOT as good as people think: A million more people than last month flowed OUT of the labor force. NOT laid off. NOT unemployed. Just STOPPED participating in the work force. Guess who those folks likely are. IMMIGRANTS. #EconSky

Wait…the president of the United States threatening to use the powers of his office to go after a private individual for supporting an opposing political party? That sounds pretty darn authoritarian, pretty darn fascist…in otherwards, pretty darn un-American.👇

Imagine if President Biden, from the White House, had publicly threatened to level “very serious consequences” against the richest man alive if he dared to give any money to the Republican Party. It would be a scandal that would last years. That is what Trump just did with respect to Elon Musk.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

No offense to anyone, but if you don’t instantly see how straight-up evil the Trump administration is being here you weren’t raised right This man isn’t in a gang, has no criminal record, was never charged with crimes pre-Trump, and everyone involved in this scam well knows it

No strike by Russia into Ukraine is retaliation, it is all terrorism. No Ukraine is not conducting a dirty war, Russia mass murdering civilians is a dirty war. Words matter and US editors across media rooms know that, so what's their game or end goal here?

The problem with Graham and Blumenthal's Russia sanctions bill is that the decision to impose sanctions is left entirely to Trump. Russia could destroy every city in Ukraine and if Trump didn't want to spoil relations with Putin, no sanctions would be imposed. 🧵 english.nv.ua/nation/russi...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

ICE was present at the incident on Lake & Bloomington. Our community saw it with their eyes. Federal agencies were militarized on our streets. Community members were assaulted by them and local jurisdictions were present for it. Our community deserves answers and to be heard. 1/

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

"For 142 years, the merit-based civil service survived because both parties recognized that functional government requires professional expertise. That consensus is dead. We're watching the transformation of public servants into party servants, of a government of laws into a government of loyalty."
