New GDP data falls far short, shows 2025 ended with weak economic growth In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low. It’s worth asking why.

"In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a 9-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low..."

US lawmakers seek release of double amputee from Georgia ICE detention Congress members write to Kristi Noem to express β€˜grave concern’ over detention of Georgia barber Rodney Taylor

20 members of Congress are finally speaking out for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s now spent more than a year in an ICE camp.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they detained him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics, placed in solitary & his health is declining:

WOW! As of this morning only about 350 letters had been sent out urging our Delegates to hold data centers accountable and lower our energy costs. BUT after we blasted this call to action, we hit our goal of sending over 1,000 letters to our Delegates. Keep going!

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

@willbunch.bsky.social @inquirer.com

β€œβ€¦the biggest reason to be outraged about this scheme for American concentration camps should not be infrastructure but the rank immorality spelled out in the cold ink of the DHS floor plan.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Notice how the Department of Homeland Security has changed the look of its concentration camps? It's so drones can't fly overhead to take videos of emaciated inmates covered in their own filth.

Many, many years ago, before I enlisted in the army, I was advised to read the Constitution.

To REALLY read it.

β€˜If you’re going to swear to defend it, if the possibility is there to lose your life defending it, you should know what it says.’

More people should have received this advice.

When oligarchs talk of β€œpersonal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.

When oligarchs speak of β€œfreedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Know the truth.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

The Mom-and-Pop Contractors Helping ICE Rapidly Expand Even as ICE sparks rising public horror with its tactics and killings, a raft of companies that have never before worked with the federal government are signing up to work with the agency.

Assault training, blast-resistant window film, sniper programs, Iris scanners.

With tens of billions in new funding, ICE can’t seem to spend money fast enough, & first-time contractors are getting in on the cash bonanza, offering ICE everything from weapons instruction to office furniture.
