The Trump administration just announced it’s shutting all Job Corps centers nationwide by June 30—no warning, no plan, just blindsiding students and families.

Any thought given to the lives this disrupts?

Any thought given to the skilled labor shortage this will make worse?

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 78 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

A hidden measure in the Republican budget bill would crown Trump king | Robert Reich The bill could stop federal courts from enforcing their rulings, eliminating any restraint on Trump

The gross unfairness of #TrumpsBigUglyBill would worsen the nation’s already near-record of income and wealth inequalities.
But the provision inside it that neuters the federal courts, would remove the last remaining constraint on trump, and end US democracy.

RFK Jr. May Have Just Ruined Our Best Weapon Against Bird Flu He just made two bad decisions on vaccines, and he made them in the worst way possible.

"The saga around the boosters provides the clearest evidence yet that Kennedy was lying when he promised congressional overseers—and the American people—that his goals were to increase transparency and scientific accountability rather than impose his own agenda."

Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.

"Shortly after becoming CEO of a cash-strapped Tesla in 2008, Musk fought hard to secure a low-interest loan from the Energy Department...holding daily briefings with company executives about the paperwork and spending hours with a government loan officer."

And now he hates government.

Adjectives I like…

Why Cory Booker’s Speech Matters Booker didn’t “accomplish” anything. He was a voice of one crying in the wilderness. And that’s how you build a dissident movement: with simple acts of witness.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

I feel like this tweet did not get enough attention this week

So it looks like Elon Musk is going to get a FORTY EIGHT BILLION contract from the federal government for Starlink.

The corruption is staggering. FORTY. EIGHT. BILLION.

BREAKING NEWS: Democratic Marine and Navy Veteran JoAnna Mendoza announces she’s running to flip Arizona’s 6th Congressional district from Red to Blue.

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR.

This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

Followed All Jenna! Thank you and thanks for the shout out.

We unite and fight and together we will win.

Elon Musk takes $8 million a day from the federal government—your tax dollars—while doing zero philanthropic work. No giving back to society.

FOCUS: gutting jobs in the most ruthless way possible. Hoarding wealth, boosting Nazis, and leaving folks terrified about their future.

Yep

Is this post PRESIDENTIAL????
