This is an Epstein shutdown

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

"employees who were furloughed as the result of the lapse will receive retroactive pay for those furlough periods. (See 31 U.S.C. 1341(c)(2).) Retroactive pay will be provided on the earliest date possible after the lapse ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates. "

The problems that we as a nation have sought to illuminate, so that we can remedy them, are disappearing — not because the problems are disappearing or have been remedied, but because we will no longer know about them. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/turning-out-the-lights-on-the-economy

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.

Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs on China, U.S. soybean farmers have lost their biggest customer and are grappling with higher prices for farming equipment.

Now, Trump has said he will bail out farmers — supposedly with the tariff revenue that caused the crisis to begin with.

Hello?

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.

This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

"The broader goal is the militarization of major cities before 2026 elections... Next year, I fear that what they're gonna do is deploy these folks to polling places & say they're protecting the vote. Trump knows without these breaches of the Constitution, he's gonna lose Congress." - Gov. Pritzker

A screenshot of an X.com post by @ASFleischman , Andrew Fleischman, stating, "Trump pardoned 12 dudes who turned out to have molested children or possessed child pornography, and there seem to be a lot of others in his orbit," with a reply from @maddenfico , Bill Madden, saying, "Trump's former 'spiritual leader,' pedophile Robert Morris, being led away in handcuffs after being sentenced to only 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl. Trump will probably end up giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. ," accompanied by an image of two men, one in a cowboy hat and sheriff uniform, escorting another man, with a building entrance in the background.

If it prays with pedos, is friends with pedos, and pardons pedos…

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

This.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Should probably all test for COVID. It never went away, it became an endemic.

Premature baby dies from measles in Alberta as cases throughout province near 2,000 | Globalnews.ca An infant born prematurely died shortly after being born, after its mother contracted measles during pregnancy, Alberta's health minister said.

Canada: Premature baby dies from measles in Alberta as cases throughout province near 2,000.

"Since March, 1,914 cases of measles has been reported in Alberta, with the majority of the cases occurring in the southern (998) and northern (704) Alberta Health Services zones."

They all look like creeps.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

The thing that concerns me about ChatGPT and its competitors is they come in an era following massive pandemic learning loss… so much vc being poured into convincing ppl to use it

And it’ll just make us more vulnerable to manipulation
