And Vance will support it

Minnesota??

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

Not like all laws are great but at least they get debated and edited. Trump’s EOs are just fucking screeds written by Stephen Miller. I don’t give a fuck what your preferences are that’s no way to run a nation.

The mainstream media has absolutely failed the First Amendment that exists to protect them

Thank you for honoring Ternesha Burroughs today when you were at her Celebration of Life

Wow. I'm speechless.

this should be an actual 5 alarm fire in the business world, but the guy licensed his name to apartment buildings so im sure he knows what hes doing

Amazing framing. Well said.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal

Olympic level cognitive dissonance.

How do I opt out???

Oh this gives the game away. And it’s sick. How truly, unrelenting terrible these people are.

Me I call it that and it is illegal af

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in all of American history, & well, then, 👇🤷‍♂️🎯

Never forget.

Sometimes I think about the fact that the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, Dennis Hastert, was convicted of sexually abusing teenagers, and the media just totally memory-holed it and no one talks about it now. I meet lots of people who don't know this happened.

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal.

If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

This.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Chemical Manufacturing Security By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. The United States relies on a strong chemical manufacturing sector to support

The Trump admin just exempted over 100 chemical plants, sterilizers & coal facilities from Clean Air Act rules, rolling back protections that would’ve cut cancer risk by up to 96% for nearby communities.

They are not going to let him back in - which be the fight we need. I worry the dems won’t step up

But I thought they didn’t pay taxes

If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.
