We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Trump’s trade war will wreak greater economic damage than previously expected, both in the US and everywhere else, according to new forecasts by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The group of 38 mostly wealthy nations sharply downgraded its 2025 economic growth forecast.

The cost to repair D.C. streets after Trump's upcoming military parade could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.

Great! He’ll hold out until at least Tuesday, right?

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

The Trump administration is abusing an obscure section of immigration law to punish Mahmoud Khalil and other immigrants for their advocacy in support of Palestinian human rights. But the First Amendment protects everyone in the U.S. ICE must release Mahmoud immediately.

From failing to publicize a major outbreak to scaling back safety alert specialists and rules, the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory and cost-cutting push risks unraveling a critical system that helps ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply, according to experts.

Peeps💙I’m so tired of the crap that Trump and his enablers are doing to our country! These people are science deniers who are trying to destroy proof of science in its entirety! WTF 🤬 Listen up and hear what Trump did on Friday!👇🏼👇🏼 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

BREAKING: NPR and three local stations have filed a lawsuit against President Trump, arguing his executive order to end its federal funding is illegal.

GOOD MORNING BLACKSKY!!! Here's a little TLC to start your day in a calm way.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

NEW: All Texas public elementary or secondary schools “must display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.” Bring on the lawsuits!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

A record number of Americans applied for British citizenship in the first three months of this year, and for the right to live and work in Britain indefinitely, according to official data.

This hits hard.

He followed the rules. He was arrested during a routine appointment to finalize his citizenship, according to multiple media reports. These are not the people we should be deporting! #ICE #AmericanShame #TrumpsAmerica ktla.com/news/man-31-...

Protesters risked being shunned by society to warn that Haiti is running out of HIV medication months after the administration of President Donald Trump slashed more than 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall aid across the globe.

Was capitulating to fascism even worth it, Paul Weiss? You tossed away your ethics, forever tarnished your reputation and surrendered your dignity Now you’re losing talented lawyers-who will take G-d knows how much revenue with them When you could’ve been heroes if you merely did the right thing

Always & forever! 🏳️‍🌈 @ltwlauren.bsky.social

Congrats to the 2024-25 All-NBA teams 👏 First Team: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum

only one way the Knicks can gameplan to stop Tyrese Haliburton: grind that Family Matters tape, baby

As lawyers like to say, res ipsa loquitur. The thing speaks for itself.

ICE is arresting the people who work within the system because they have insane quotas to meet and the people who work within the system are the easiest to capture. Shameful, predatory behavior. www.huffpost.com/entry/kasper...

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight: •Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid •Gutting $500 billion from Medicare •Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance) •Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs 1/2

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Oh. Tanning bed companies are getting a tax break while people with skin cancer are getting kicked off Medicaid? None of this is making America great.

This IS a fun fact! It’s almost like we should have more women elected to everything. I see you Dem Reps! @jasmineforus.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repdexteror.bsky.social @repgwenmoore.bsky.social @repstaceyplaskett.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @reprashida.govpeeps.us @foushee.house.gov

The cruelty is still the point? What possible harm could come from a man holding his firstborn? Seriously, who wants this?

I’m going to say it right now… I’m not watching an OKC IND #NBAFinals. You got your 7 game #ECFinals now. Now start calling the karate chops to Brunson’s throat. #Knicks #Pacers

That was painful to watch

#Knicks are on the verge of Knicksing

Refs missed a goaltend, another Pacers 3, and the continued mugging of Brunson

The #knicks have some tired legs right now

Have got to hit your FREE THROWS

Brunson almost caused a unfathomable number of simultaneous heart attacks across the tristate area.

This is stressful. At least Josh Hart recovered. But why did Brunson pass? And can we hit some FTs? #Knickssky

Aaron Nesmith is NBA Jam level hot right now.

There’s getting in the zone, and then there’s wherever Nesmith has ascended to. 5 straight 3s?! The Pacers should not be in this game.

After scoring 69 in the first half, Brunson had 9 of the Knicks paltry 21 points that quarter.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

Noor Abdalla was eight months pregnant when her husband, Mahmoud Khalil, was arrested, in March. She hasn’t seen him since, and now has a one-month-old son. nyer.cm/b7u1tIk

BREAKING 🚨: United States Credit markets are currently pricing in a 6-level credit downgrade for the United States, which would give it a rating of BBB, just a smidge above investment grade 👀
