the three of us are having a conversation

"State department staff told to report colleagues for ‘anti-Christian bias". Maybe act Christian first? Leviticus 19:33-34:"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born." kffhealthnews.org/morning-brea...

The Trump administration is recommending the elimination of the scientific research division at NOAA.

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

After huge cuts were announced at the Department of Education, the website for high school seniors applying for financial aid went down. Those kids had no place to turn. Trump doesn't care about students working hard to build a future. I’m fighting to hold him accountable.

Good headline. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

How did my generation – the baby boomers – squander the potential our parents left us? What can our children do to correct our mistakes? These are the central questions of my new memoir: Coming Up Short. You can preorder it now. sites.prh.com/reich

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

Relieved to see that the Budget Lab numbers are close to my back-of-the-envelope estimate. We're still looking at a shock an order of magnitude bigger than Smoot-Hawley

It surprises me that people don't know about Huey P Long. A "man of the people" but, of course, he was a grifter who was assassinated when he got out of control. "The most dangerous man in the country." Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. youtu.be/NETWg1r0O9c?...

See how this works? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s obvious that people were tipped off about Trump’s announcement and made a killing off it. Crimes are being committed in broad daylight.

No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

Wow. Now that’s a thoughtful leader.

RFK Jr. told me he would "address drivers of maternal mortality.” But he just fired the researchers that work to improve the health of mothers and babies.

Go see Jon Anderson if he comes near you. Flawless. #MusicSky

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation. -You cannot legally deport people without due process. -You cannot legally deport citizens. -They are defining down deportation to break the law.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.
