I really thought this was a fake tweet from Trump. He’s bragging about profiting off the presidency and his followers are clapping like obedient seals. Pathetic.

The U.S. FDA announced 46 recalls in August alone. That includes food products and drugs— a notable increase from August 2025 when it was 26 products. That's why it's more important than ever to share links to sources, and to click through and read the article. The headline alone won't suffice.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

If you’ve ever worked a 40-hour week, earned overtime or collected Social Security, you should know Frances Perkins. As FDR’s Labor Secretary, she helped build protections workers still rely on today and was the first woman to serve in a U.S. Cabinet. Remember her name. 🇺🇸 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.
