Laura Loomer posted this on Twitter (I refuse to call it that single letter name) & I’m hoping karma acts swiftly upon her.

Only despots threaten to strip away U.S. citizenship and deport their political rivals and enemies.

I don’t like how these politicians are speaking about those who use Medicaid and SNAP.

If you’re on these programs, just know that some of us see how dehumanizing these people are being. It’s disgusting.

Don’t let them get to you. YOU are worthy.

The OBR expects 2025 economic growth to fall to 1%, half the rate forecast in October 2024.

Living standards to fall over the next five years.

Govt cuts will reduce incomes of the poorest half by 1.5%.

Austerity makes no economic sense.

Must redistribute.

Marine Le Pen Found Guilty of Embezzlement, Banned From Next Elections Judges convicted the far-right leader of misusing EU funds and barred her from running in the 2027 French presidential elections.

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

On board with use of both “always” & “never” here. Elie Wiesel ftw.

Prem Sikka: A boost in the minimum wage is welcome, but more must be done to improve people’s material conditions 'Despite the increase, the minimum wage will still be comparatively low, and millions will live below the minimum acceptable standard of living.'

New UK minimum wage for an over-21 full-time worker will be £22,222 a year before tax and NIC.

A single person needs to earn £28,000 a year for minimum acceptable std of living. A couple with 2 children needs £69,400.

Millions in poverty. Save for pension, buy home?

Poverty institutionalized.

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway

Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says Nuffield Trust says supply chains have shifted, with medicines for epilepsy and cystic fibrosis among those now scarce

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages.

Crucial drugs not available.

Bureaucracy a barrier to exports too.

Domestic production of medicines not increased.

Must revive the 2019 Labour manifesto pledge for the state led production of generic drugs.

Rejoin the EU.

Every accusation is an intention.

Let’s start a list of people he should take with him!

Labour's 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents Rachel Reeves seems intent on diverting more resources away from public housing and towards private investment via Build to Rent

Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents.

Profiteering, high debt, substandard service, tax dodges are private equity norm.

Let councils, not-for-profit organizations build homes.

Don't deregulate. Build homes, not slums.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

I’m pretty sure we’re already in free fall

The “But, her emails!” crowd’s quite conspicuously silent right now, so it was clearly never actually about national security.

This is some 🐂💩

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Absolutely unacceptable. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social do not let this happen to the NHS. Private equity is *not* an appropriate steward for a public service. Demand for profit destroys quality of life in the USA every day. Protect the NHS & the people of the UK from this disgraceful money grab.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.
