Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

Many Catholic leaders weren’t amused by Trump’s ‘joke’ about becoming pope When the president isn't using faith as a sword against his perceived political foes, he’s using it as a punch line to an unnecessary joke.

"The Italian newspaper La Repubblica featured the image on its homepage, alongside commentary accusing Trump of 'pathological megalomania'..."

Heidy Sánchez was torn away from her baby and sent to Cuba. Her husband and child are citizens.

We must resume family reunification parole and stop Trump from ripping babies from their mother’s arms again.

AFT has a track record of fearlessly advocating for the retirement security of our members, and of all working people. When a CEO who stewards billions of dollars of retirement assets puts them in jeopardy, they should expect to hear from us.

Abrego Garcia Family Flees to Safe House After Trump DHS Posts Home Address on Social Media | Common Dreams The Trump administration not only sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran prison by "administrative error" but also shared his family's address on social media, forcing them to relocate.

Analysis | Vance’s whopper on alleged Social Security fraud The vice president falsely claims 40 percent of calls to a retirement program involve fraud.

Vice President Vance’s false claims about fraud in Social Security are wildly misleading & dangerous. He is trying to create more fear and uncertainty in order to make accessing benefits harder. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump accused of ‘market manipulation’ with tariff pause: ‘WTF! Who’s in charge?’ Democratic lawmakers want answers after critics blast the president’s alleged insider trading and ‘pump and dump’ scheme

"Trump’s surprise turn on Wednesday appeared to be news to the administration’s own trade representative, who was in the middle of testifying to a House committee, deflecting allegations that the president purposefully manipulated the markets."

Youngstown can’t get Rulli, Husted, or Moreno to return a call—let alone face voters at a town hall.

But that’s not stopping us from raising our voices loud and clear. You *will* hear them in D.C.

Thank you @governorwalz.mn.gov for showing up for us when MAGA cowards won’t.

‘This Could Get Much Uglier’: The Fatal Flaw in Trump’s Trade War - POLITICO

Ozturk was arrested by six masked officers — like the Gestapo.

Her only offense appears to be writing an op-ed in her school newspaper.

While I strongly disagree with the views expressed in her op-ed, they are not a valid basis for deportation.

This is flat out un-American.

Trump's union-busting executive order targeting Federal workers' collective bargaining rights is more than an attack on them -- it's an attack on us all and the government services that millions of Americans rely on. Together with @aflcio.org and all government workers, we will beat this.

"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA"

"in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..."

Education is our kids future. Education is our country’s future. Mr. President, we will see you in court. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

DOGE's plan to fire half the workforce at the Department of Education is a direct attack on America's future. Slashing support for students while handing tax cuts to billionaires? That’s not leadership: it’s sabotage. @rweingarten.bsky.social is right: this is a betrayal of our kids.

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more. Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce.

Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year.

Hello?

Weingarten: It’s really only the Congress that can abolish the Department of Education. So, what the president can do is make government basically ineffective—not work—by a thousand cuts. And that’s what they’re doing.
