As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

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?

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "It's reverse Robinhood. It's welfare for the wealthy. And it's a travesty that this [private school voucher] scam has passed into law here in Texas. But we should do everything we can to stop this from happening at the federal level."

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

WSJ editorial board: Starting with the next academic year, Oklahoma students in US history classes will be asked to “identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information,” including on “sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters” This is batshit.

A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht. Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island. Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars. We must fight back with all we've got.

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

This is the whole point of what Stephen Miller is doing with Harvard & other schools. It’s not about protests, anti-semitism or anything else. It is their plan, many years in the making, to dismantle the US university system. Schools must unite & fight together, not individually.
