I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

🚨Judge Xinis orders the Trump administration to bring back Kilmar Abrego, the Maryland father who was deported to El Salvador, the one place it was outright illegal for the United States to deport him to. Now the question of compliance comes up. How will the admin respond? How will Bukele respond?

Harmful non-strategic tariffs. Reckless use of group chats and personal Gmail accounts. Incorrect deportations blamed on “administrative error.” Mass firings of health and safety personnel. Cuts to Medicare and SNAP. Soaring prices. The American people did not sign up for this.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

CDC division responsible for asthma control and lead poisoning prevention effectively eliminated. Workers say no other HHS unit has capacity to respond to such public health crises. ➡️Lead poisoning in children is infamously irreversible.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants. This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Congrats, they heard you! The Social Security Administration has decided tonight to abandon its plans to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims. Thank you to all who shared our post and made calls today—you did it!

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.
