Rest assured, if the September jobs report doesn’t drop because of a shutdown, you’ll know exactly what happened. We’re living in the era where “no news” is basically confirmation of government collapse.

All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.

What can you do today? Make safety plans. Because this regime has taken away every avenue you used to have to protect yourself and your family, and even added a few more like ICE agents in masks randomly arresting people, just to keep it interesting.

I don't think it's that the Founders didn't anticipate an actual criminal being elected. That's exactly what the checks and balances are for. What they didn't anticipate is an entire Congress and Judiciary going along with all the crimes. Unanticipated.

A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Something that I've noticed get demonstrably worse in my lifetime is the idea that human & civil rights are something granted to us by governments and voters. As in, we only have human rights if other people think we do & vote on it. That is fucked all the way up and bassackwards.

The Trump administration halted funding for a national database that tracked domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and school shootings, as part of broad cuts to violence prevention programs. The move eliminated a critical resource designed to enhance public safety amid persistent and pressing threats.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth. But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.
