DHS is being more aggressive than ever targeting anonymous social media accounts that have spoken out against ICE, asking Big Tech to hand over information on users without signed judicial warrants

ChatGPT cuts in action

DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g.

This is the Republican party in a nutshellβ€”they don’t give a damn about children who were raped by wealthy pedophiles. All they care about is helping their Epstein class donors (many of whom are in the Epstein Files themselves) get richer.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Trump’s DOJ tried to charge me with a crime simply for saying something they didn’t like. Think about that. This is after DOD already censured and threatened to demote me.

He wants to make an example out of me and scare Americans from speaking out against him. Don’t let it work.

A reminder, in comparison, of what job growth & media coverage of the economy looked like during our deeply unserious recession obsession when Joe Biden was president & we were bombarded with the nonstop message that the economy was terrible:

I will again bring your attention to which lines were higher in 2023, when we were bombarded by the false message that folks at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale were Suffering From Inflationℒ️ & Joe Biden’s economic policies more than anyone else.

Job growth in the supposedly terrible Biden economy of 2023-24 averaged 192k per month. With 2021-22 it's even higher.

In the supposedly great pre-COVID Trump economy of 2/17-2/20, it averaged 181k.

Now one month of 130k is praised as strong growth, because standards are lower for one special boy.

Yikes here are the numbers for the past 12 months. Everything is pretty much dead except healthcare/social assistance. Note that healthcare growth is largely not about the business cycle -- it's about the aging of the population and more elderly people needing care.

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is still not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born

Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 4.3% to 4.7% while native-born employment has decreased

Small business owners represent the American Dream. But the fear and uncertainty caused by Operation Metro Surge has been a crushing blow to business.

We need an end to this campaign of retribution and we need to reopen Minnesota for business.

It’s very telling that Ghislaine Maxwell was happy to sit down with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche for 2 days & answer his pathetic questions in exchange for special treatment, but she will refuse to answer all questions from anyone else including Congress.
