Man wrongfully deported to CECOT: The conditions were awful. We slept in a metal can. There were 2 water troughs with pipes that carried waste. And we had to basically eat on top of them. The water that we used for bathing was the same water for drinking. We endured physical and psychological abuse

Former BLS Commissioner: The BLS is not a politicized place at all. I saw no evidence that the staff is doing any anything else except their highly professional job. I'm very familiar with the processes behind this report, and I saw no evidence whatsoever that the numbers were unexpected

Fox: Let's talk about today's jobs number. The more you drill down on ot, the uglier it gets. One thing that leaps out to me, 360,000 fewer full-time jobs. What gives?

Trump economic advisor: What was really important is that Trump got the One Big Beautiful Bill in place.

Fox: We expected to see job creation of 75,000 last month. Instead, just 22,000 jobs were added. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%. That is a 4 year high. Investors dug a bit deeper into the numbers and saw things they clearly did not like. The S&P down 31 points, NASDAQ down 52.

Trump’s Tax Scam will kick nearly 14 million Americans off their healthcare to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a GOP senator, call and demand that they stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/...

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.

All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

yuuuuuuup

What happens when schools lose funding?
🚨 Fewer teachers
🚨 Larger class sizes
🚨 Less support for struggling kids.

Call Congress: 202-224-3121 & ask them to put kids before billionaires & reject education cuts.

As others have pointed out (and as I clocked myself) it’s extremely disconcerting to see Nazis write about a “final” anything.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

What a coincidence!

Uncovering Conflicts of Interest and Self-Dealing in the Executive Branch The new administration could use federal contracts, tariffs, regulations, taxes, and other levers of government to benefit campaign donors, high-level officials, and the president himself.

The concentration of private wealth and political power in so few hands with so few guardrails could pave the way for Trump’s campaign backers and allies to reap massive financial benefits on a scale not seen since the Gilded Age.

We already have enough chickens in the White House

Can’t have global warming if we shut off all the climate data

Can’t have a pandemic if we shut down all the public health monitoring systems

Can’t have a recession if we stop tracking economic indicators

A+ plan, nothing can possibly go wrong

Wisconsin has an open seat in their Supreme Court, with the election in less than a month. We help inform Wisconsin voters about the stark choice between Judge Susan Crawford & her Musk-funded opponent.

This is important. It's called a learning moment for a member of congress. We need many more. And we will have them.

A bold political graphic features Elon Musk and Donald Trump in black and white, positioned in front of the White House. Musk is making a Nazi salute, while Trump speaks with clenched fists. The phrase "NO KINGS." is displayed across the center in distressed typography, with "NO" in bright yellow and a small tilted crown on the "S" in "KINGS." The background has a torn-paper effect, and the bottom half of the image is deep blue, featuring the call to action: "Join us to fight back - indivisible.org" along with the Indivisible logo.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can rule this country like kings.

House Republicans think they can steal from working families to fund billionaire tax cuts.

They all think we'll sit back and let them get away with it.

They are dead wrong: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

A Deep and Dangerous Shame Bowing to the bear

This is not appeasement or even surrender. It’s actually worse; it is a deliberate embrace of authoritarian governments, a rejection of democratic values, and a knife to the back of our allies—starting with, but not limited to, Ukraine.

Yeah…so seems to me rather than being a “crisis” it’s “about damn time!”
