NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

@npr.org y’all should not advertise and promote these criminal politicians. Good on you for reporting the facts but why do we need to be barraged with their photographs? Just stop it. Don’t even say Trump just say Potus or something. Don’t say RFK just say his title.

After 63 years of no black players in MLB, seven of the first ten Black baseball players were elected to the Hall of Fame (the League average is 1.5%). Evidence that serious talent was long overlooked — invisible in plain sight — requiring special effort of those in charge to overcome bias.

The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers. What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions. It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.

As these type of inhuman actions increase I think everyone in @mcuban.bsky.social elite status should be raising hell with all of their powerful connections.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA. In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

2.8% compounded is WILD! It was headed way lower than that.

Consumer prices last month rose 2.8% from a year ago, slower than the 3% annual gain seen in January — but the prospect of a trade war is clouding the outlook for inflation.

Donald Trump won less than half of the popular vote—which, given the turnout, amounts to less than one-third of registered voters. His margin of victory was the tightest since 2000, the fourth tightest since 1940. So no, despite everything Trump claims, he does not have a "mandate" for any of this.
