He's created a literal swamp.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

This is insane, unscientific and extremely dangerous What kind of world do these ignorant, rapacious zealots want to leave to our children and grandchildren???

The real news here is Peter Navarro saying lower jobs numbers *are good* because they (supposedly) indicate fewer immigrants are working in the US. Trump-MAGA ideology values sheer numbers of removals over pretty much all else because their top priority is ethnic reengineering.

utterly incapable of grace

"When I said in February that they were going to cast a wide net for deportations, I had no idea how bad it would be. This is not just a matter of aggressive deportation. The things that are being done by our government to our fellow human beings are monstrous." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Hey @capitalweather.bsky.social menorah-saurus says a snowy hi from Alexandria

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

If Benghazi was treated as a colossal scandal over security decisions far below Clinton’s level, then Trump absolutely deserves full responsibility for deploying the N. Guard into DC for a threat he fabricated. Trump’s decision directly put those troops in harm's way for absolutely zero reason.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

Every single candidate Trump endorsed lost last night.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

I have a very bad feeling about this...

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists. Seems bad?

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S. Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world. www.nobelprize.org

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Checking in on this

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

“We don’t erase history” says the sentient can of body spray who took Medgar Evers and Harvey Milk’s names off Navy ships

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate. And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Jeffrey Epstein and a thousand victims is what happens when moral depravity meets extreme income inequality.

How do the budget cuts to NOAA impact you? One of the nation's leading experts in meteorology, @johnmoralestv.bsky.social, breaks it down and warns that, “You are less safe this hurricane season due to these cuts from the U.S. government and the executive branch.” Did you vote for this, America?

This is a meteorologist, NOT a politician, warning of the dangers of gutting the National Weather Service and NOAA. Dozens of children and adults have died. This is real. MAGA doesn’t care. WE care and will never stop advocating for Americans.

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

A reminder that as Trump advances a bill to give himself a huge tax cut and f--k over working people, he's probably pocketed a billion dollars this week from illegally exploiting the Presidency. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth - Trump is a walking embodiment of the 7 deadly sins.

Jorge Lopez is now tied for the MLB lead with 6 wins despite a 7.20 ERA (and despite the fact he's a reliever).

Sure feels like the GOP doesn’t give a rat’s ass about its constituents. Stripping 7.6 million Americans of health care without batting an eye is hateful. Don’t Mess With Medicaid #MomSky

Congressional Republicans dropped their bill to cut healthcare for millions of Americans. 7 insane things that will happen if this passes🧵👇🏻

“The first 100 days of the Trump administration will go down in history as the greatest grift in the history of our economy in terms of the amount of money stolen and the size of it over the shortest period.” -Scott Galloway

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline. That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production. Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.

“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.” Thinking about the types of people who participated in this atrocity. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
