WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”

It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

Great now I’m crying.

Replacing the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics with a stooge, proclaiming that crime is up when it’s down, and taking over the Smithsonian are all about trying to take over facts.

But facts are facts whether or not Trumpists agree.

A graphic with a blue-tinted monochrome photo background showing Donald Trump speaking at a White House press podium bearing the presidential seal, flanked by Pete Hegseth to his left and Pam Bondi to his right, and U.S. flags behind; overlaid white text reads: Statement: Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness. In the lower-right corner, a small logo reads: Alliance for Housing Justice.

STATEMENT: Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness. On Sunday, President Trump posted a horrifying screed announcing plans to force all of D.C.’s unhoused residents to “move out, IMMEDIATELY” & send them “FAR from the Capital.” W/ HUD reporting a national record of 771,480 people unhoused on a single night last year—including 5,616 unhoused people in D.C., over 80% of whom were Black—vilifying & rounding up our cities’ most vulnerable is racist, cruel, irrational & dangerous. If the goal is to solve homelessness, forced mass displacement & criminalization do the opposite: they deepen trauma, erect barriers to housing & work, worsen racial disparities, and put women, people w/ disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, & other underserved groups at greater risk. Serious leaders must reject Trump's approach & invest in implementing real solutions at scale: build & preserve social & public housing; expand permanent supportive housing & services; & enact strong tenant protections so residents aren’t pushed into homelessness in the 1st place

Check out our new explainer on the Trump Administration's latest attack on civil rights at HUD. It is critical that housing justice advocates & affordable housing owners comment in opposition to the repeal of HUD's affirmative marketing requirements.

“The principle has been fundamental to ending “practices that perpetuate inequalities in our society that have their roots in Jim Crow, redlining and the state-sanctioned discrimination of the past.”

Discrimination cases unravel as Trump scraps core civil rights tenet The administration is dismissing cases and unwinding settlements built on "disparate impact," which holds that even neutral policies can lead to biased outcomes.

“It’s critical we have disparate impact to fight against race discrimination,” said Thomas Silverstein, executive director of
@prrac.bsky.social, who is watching at least a dozen housing and lending cases that could fall apart without it.”

Democrats Get On Board With Crypto Bill, Dismiss Concerns About Trump Corruption The Senate is advancing crypto-friendly legislation the same week Trump hosts a dinner for buyers of his meme coin.

Most Dems voted against this, including Kim & Warnock who bravely broke with Dem senators from their home states. But shame on the 16 Senate Dems who sided with Trump on this industry-friendly crypto bill. I am just exhausted at this Party's willful incompetence. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

Two Israeli embassy staff shot dead near Washington DC Jewish museum Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

Terrifying

Fearing deportation, a beloved music teacher gives a final lesson Jesús Rodríguez, a Venezuelan national whose U.S. humanitarian parole status is set to expire soon, decided to voluntarily leave the United States out of worry of being detained.

“Mr. Rodríguez, we’re going to miss you,” a girl told the teacher after singing.

“I’m going to miss you, too,” he said, fighting back tears of his own.

“Leading the fight for economic and social justice”

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.
