Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire. It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Russian President Vladimir Putin said 'all of Ukraine' belonged to Russia in a speech on June 20 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, amid increasingly bullish official statements about Moscow's final territorial ambitions in Ukraine.

When you are faced with the mendacity of Trump, Hegseth, & Johnson, it’s pointless to try & get clarity from them. Go to the trusted sources. If you want to understand how we got here and what Trump & Netanyahu are up to, I present to you she who knows: Christine Amanpour. Breaking. It. Down.

This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals. They just don't like international trade. Period. He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

The flood of German transshipments to Russia continues unabated. It's been over three years of this now and this stuff is just deeply shameful. The new government needs to make a decisive break from the past and shut these transshipments down. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. No more excuses...

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

People are dying every day in Ukraine, and Trump won't impose sanctions on Russia because Putin has proposed a "concept of a plan" for possible future negotiations? What a leader! What a deal-maker! What a complete idiot. www.yahoo.com/news/us-not-...

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

The rules of the internet clearly state that when you see Tom Holland's Umbrella, you're required to share it.

Israel is currently starving at least 2 million people. The UK government is demanding Israel allow food and aid to reach civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law. Meanwhile the Trump led US is intervening in favour of Israel to continue the mass starvation and cut of aid.

🇩🇪 Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the far-right AfD as an extremist threat, enabling expanded surveillance powers. AfD is now fully classified—not just “suspected”—as extremist. Authorities can use informants and tap communications. Civil servants may be barred from joining;

And that is the party Elon Musk and Vance are supporting!!!

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

❗️Zelensky reposted a 2018 statement by former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: “The U.S. reaffirms its policy of non-recognition of the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force.” A timeless reminder: Might doesn’t make right.

Ignoring judicial branch means authoritarians playbook . Any other análysis Like Washington Post is doing is bullshit. Trump is Not deporting but Sendung them to prison without due process

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Analysis by Dan Balz: President Trump has moved to deliver on his pledge to deport all undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. It has revealed the lengths to which the administration will go to invoke the powers of the president over the judicial branch.
