JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the reinstatement of NLRB board member Gwynne Wilcox, and has some choice language for Trump, whose self-depiction as a king "fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

D.C. Circuit panel allows Trump to remove Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel—a devastating decision for the thousands of federal workers, fighting unlawful firings, who were relying on Dellinger to help them get their jobs back. Very surprising that the liberal judge didn’t dissent.

Trump isn’t cutting waste and abuse. He’s cutting programs that help regular people - like Medicaid - to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. He only closes agencies that were stopping his rich friends bilk consumers.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Tariffs UP. Groceries UP. Exports DOWN. Stock market DOWN. Consumer confidence DOWN. Chance of a recession UP UP UP. After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy. It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

Some folks treat education like an expense. I think that stance is not just shortsighted – it’s wrong. Investing in our kids – quite literally in the future of our state – is the best investment we can make.
