Big shout out to the 30M who couldn’t bother to show up in Nov… This country had the best economy and was the envy of the world instead of reeling head first towards a recession… So F**k you! European Central Bank trims interest rates after inflation dips below target www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/e...

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

🚨 Trump is creating a centralized database of ALL Americans' sensitive, personal data. 🚨Why should you care? This is not only an EXTREMELY dangerous precedent, but it would also make ALL of our personal data a prime target for our foreign adversaries. I sounded the alarm during E&C. Watch below ⬇️

For the life of me I cannot figure out why Donald Trump is trying to destroy higher education

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oklahoma, we have got to get rid of these people. I'm tired of being embarrassed.

Say Goodbye to Your Data & Privacy, Say Hello to Palantir & the Mass Surveillance State Billionaire Peter Thiel's company Palantir has received millions from the Trump Regime to compile data on Americans, which will be abused for mass surveillance & profit. thelefthook.substack.com/p/say-goodby...

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

The budget bill in the Senate right now is a nightmare for the American People. Join me and Senator Elizabeth Warren as we discuss. FULL INTERVIEW LINK HERE—> youtu.be/97vTaGGFOIg

"If you need to update Social Security about a move or bank account change, it could take longer than usual... "Changes like these may take longer, and thousands of Americans could see delays or even stopped checks in the meantime, employees warned USA TODAY..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Always is.

Yikes! 🤢 Trump’s Bedminster golf club recently got slapped with 18 health violations and the lowest health grade in the entire county — scoring a 32 out of 100. Critical food safety risks, no soap at sinks, a household microwave in the kitchen, and more. 🔗 www.thedailybeast.com/president-do...

"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

The waste, fraud and abuse call is coming from inside the house.

Really? This is what MAGA cares about?

Read? The Gazpacho Police and Peachtree Dish lady?

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

Women, children and older people make up most arrivals at the #Chad border, fleeing violence in #Sudan. Read the stories of two women whose journeys reflect the brutal reality of displacement. ⤵️ #TalkAboutSudan www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/chad-refuges...

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Across the U.S., state security officials and violence prevention advocates have reached the same conclusion: The federal government has retreated from the fight against extremist violence, which for years had been a top priority for the FBI. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

Let me state this clearly. Under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., HHS officials are confusing visibility and transparency. National vaccine policy follows an open and legal process. That got trashed this week. Access to vaccines is at stake. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/hhs-visibi...

I am seeing a lot of people posting about this anti-democracy provision of the GOP budget bill. Here is Democracy Docket’s coverage from last Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

Trump’s reckless tariffs are continuing to wreak havoc on South Carolina’s economy. Jobs have already been lost, and more are at grave risk. Trump said slowing port traffic was a “good thing.” South Carolinians know how wrong he is. scdailygazette.com/2025/05/30/v...
