Trump is shutting down Job Corps—kicking vulnerable young people out of housing, job training, and education programs with zero plan. Don’t tell me this man gives a damn about the working class when he’s gutting the very programs that help folks get on their feet.

The “60 Minutes” correspondent never mentioned Trump by name, but his call to defend democratic institutions was clear. https://trib.al/C2A1xdJ

The question not asked in the Oval Office: How does it feel to kill children?

🚨NEW: VoteVets slams decision to strip Harvey Milk’s name from Navy ship. “This isn’t just offensive—it’s a calculated act of disrespect.” It's not about tradition. It’s about forcing out those who don’t fit Hegseth’s 1980s action figure fantasy of service. FULL STATEMENT ⬇️

Hey #BlueCrew #Demcast et al, Let’s support Rear Admiral @eileenforco.bsky.social running against Boebart. How fast can we get her to 20k? Do your thing!

dog brained? shelby is infinitely smarter.

NEW: Elon Musk gets out of Trump Town—and gets off easy. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I report on how the media still mischaracterize his DOGE work as a war on waste and fraud when it's a war on government and essential services. They have abetted his con. link.motherjones.com/public/40120...

New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."

Yesterday, June 2, was an interesting day at work. I was reporting a story about how the Education Department hadn't delivered a report to Congress on the Condition of Education, despite the June 1 deadline mandated by law. 🧵 (1/9)

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

They're studying us like apes

"Pure pointlessness and waste": Rachel Maddow argues that Elon Musk's black eye is only the second-best metaphor for his time calling the shots in Washington. Consider the seizure of U.S. Institute of Peace building.

Las Vegas: The beneficiary of international travel will be a ghost town 👇

Trump’s America tells the world: “We don’t need you.” Now the world is answering back: “Same to you.” From student deportations to tourist boycotts and brand backlash, we’re paying the price for Trump’s hostility. Read more adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/from-beaco...

• “… every time we’ve had a chance to turn the corner together — Business suit swindlers would froth up racism & distrust all over again…” • Dr. King, 1963: “We’re at the precipice again — And now is the time to come together to reject efforts to make bigotry and inhumanity the laws of the land.” •

Karoline Leavitt said the Trump regime is pushing for the trades while defunding Harvard. Now, they’re defunding Job Corps. They aren’t advocating for trades people. They want uneducated folks with no skills to work for any wage and any condition www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

Looking forward to being at Jim's show this Monday evening, 6/2, at the Lincoln Theater in DC: The Fire Within Tour: The Jim Acosta Show Live. Hope to see lots of our Team Justice friends there. @jimacosta.bsky.social

In other words, if you pay enough, you too can be set free from prison no matter the crime.

Biden’s Infrastructure Bill.

Hey Tahoe; Hey Coeur d’Alene! Your forests are expendable 👇

This kind, empathetic man deserves so much better than the way he was treated by people from both parties. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

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

Trump—who dodged Vietnam—booted a ceremony honoring Vietnam Veterans from the National Mall… for his birthday spectacle. Instead of showing up for the military, he's making them show up for him. A man who never served, hijacking a moment meant for those who did.

Biden gives first speech since cancer diagnosis. So powerful!

This is why the regime wants to silence all academics across higher ed.

“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to cruel to be tough.” ~ President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Republicans have included 300 MILLION in the budget for......Trump's golf trips. You heard that right. But there is no money to feed hungry kids school lunch.

THREAD 🧵 Internal State Department records show that months of warnings have become a reality: The Trump administration’s sudden withdrawal of foreign humanitarian aid has brought about death, violence and unrest. 1/

2 months since the launch of Meidas Health. We are everything the federal health leadership is not: Clinician-led, platforming actual leaders, and bringing timely responses and content on topics that matter to you and your loved ones. We have your back! @meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social

One like isn’t gonna do on this one. If the big fucked up bill is allowed to pass the Senate we could kiss our last shred of normalcy goodbye. Use the link, share the link. If you’ve made other arrangements, tell your story. This is code red, all hands on deck. Project 2025 will kill people!!! ⚖️⚖️⚖️
