For those keeping track, the US added 151,000 jobs in February. That's down significantly from where Biden was the last 12 months. The financial markets have had their worst week since September. And the price of eggs is still sky high. It's not too early to say: Trump is tanking the economy.

Bernie Sanders: "Saving money by dismantling the Department of Education, which, by the way, is illegal and unconstitutional, so that the billionaire class can receive huge tax breaks, is terrible public policy and morally reprehensible."

WTF is wrong with these people? Can someone please figure out if there is a way to isolate the gene that makes them crazy asshats so we can give them some kind of vaccine or treatment to eliminate the effects of it?

The Lost Do-Gooders nymag.com/intelligence... Many..have never known anything but success & suddenly they are facing not just unemployment but possibly being unemployable. It’s..unimaginable…for those who…played the game of meritocracy by the rules, for the purest reasons & the lowest compensation.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Susan Perri, who bravely spoke at our town hall despite her battle with cancer, made her voice heard. She and millions like her will suffer if House Republicans cut Medicaid and Social Security. I’m honored to have her as my guest for tonight’s President’s Address to Congress.

The WI Supreme Court has a 4-3 progressive ideological majority—meaning many cases involving issues like abortion rights are decided by one justice. On April 1st, voters will decide the balance of the court. Make your voting plan at myvote.wi.gov. #CrawfordForCourt #StopShadySchimel #BadBrad

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine. Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community. It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

Remember the Titanic submersible that exploded, killing all 5 passengers? The one experts warned wasn't safe? Yeah, that's a good metaphor for Elon firing the FAA administrator who fined Space X and then another Musk rocket exploding. Actually it's a good metaphor for the whole Trump administration.
