This is what happens when you deport all your workers.

Florida is looking to roll back child labor laws to make up for the immigrant labor they lost. Lawmakers want to make it legal for those as young as 14 to work overnight shifts on school days. This is part of the Project 2025 game plan. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AkH-SZ_6fQQ6...

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

The Mayor of Somerville, MA (where this took place) says that the mostly masked ICE agents misidentified themselves as "police" even though they had no connection with either Somerville or Tufts police. whdh.com/news/video-r...

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Always the game — or, really, the con

thered be calls for impeachment if a dem did this

When you get to “it’s a PR problem” excuse in tech, you know the startup is cooked www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Please read and share. Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

They disappeared a green card holder and threatened to arrest a citizen. We are in some serious trouble in ‘democratic’ America.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Elon is attacking somebody falsely and egregiously because they are a real astronaut

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

Nearly 50% of childbirths and over 35% of children are covered by Medicaid. Don't tell me you're "pro-life" when you're taking away health care for delivering mothers and kids, all to fund a massive tax cut for billionaires. www.acog.org/news/news-re...

“…if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from TX for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial & ethnic slur against a sitting US Senator." 💥⁦‪ @raskin.house.gov

Why the fuck did even one Democrat vote to censure Green?

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

I hope it passes!!

Exquisite response by Georgetown Dean to interim USA Ed Martin On Martin's threat letter not to hire grads until Martin approves of law school curriculum: "The constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution."

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

There are some Trump administration lawyers who need to be disbarred.

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Our farmers will lose billions in USAID cuts. His tariffs will not make up the shortfall, because most of the produce coming in does not compete with local produce. People aren't going to buy more Idaho potatoes because Mexican bananas cost more. + labor shortages. The fuckening continues.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

🚨📉RECESSION? The Atlanta Fed GDPNow model as of February 28 now estimates real GDP growth in Q1 2025 in the United States to be -1.5% as net exports and personal consumption falls.

I’m in!

Truly Thankful You are BEST of Humanity The BEST of America Representative Kevin Mullin, CA15 Representative Brittany Pettersen CO07

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

The correct answer is “Your Honor, given my professional ethical obligations and my obligations as an officer to the court, I am not in a position to make a representation on behalf of the government in response to that question.”

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

The understaffed Social Security Administration faces further cuts and office closures at the same time as retiring Baby Boomers have caused a surge in the number of people receiving benefits. https://propub.li/4ia5PX5

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.
