Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.
Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.
It’s time to fight back.

BREAKING: Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is imploring his party to fight back harder against President Trump, arguing that history will remember some for their “complicity” in “bending the knee” to him.
Who agrees?

'Used a broomstick as a weapon': Analyst traces Trump from high school 'bully' to the White House
Editor David Remnick argued in an article published in The New Yorker Sunday that President Donald Trump has turned a campaign ethos of division — “us” vs. “them” — into a governing strategy premised on fear and control.
In vivid language drawn from Trump’s early persona and his meteoric rise in real estate and reality TV, Remnick traced this continuity from humiliation as a game-show host to intimidation as Executive in Chief.
“Real power is — I don’t even want to use the word — fear,” Trump once told Bob Woodward, a quote Remnick uses as the philosophical anchor for his argument.

The author further emphasized observations from Marc Fisher, who co-wrote the book “Trump Revealed,” an early biography that delves into Trump’s character. Fisher shared with PBS that, during his cadet years, Trump “used a broomstick as a weapon against classmates who didn’t listen to him when he told them what to do. He was in part enforcing the rules of the academy, but he was equally so enforcing the rules of Donald Trump.”
Remnick wrote: "In any case, Trump was, from his formative years, a spoiled bully."
He noted that six months in, the Trump administration’s policies, ranging from sweeping mass deportations to aggressive wage settlements, punitive subpoenas, and political harassment — have targeted a broad and “unnerved” coalition: immigrants, university leaders, librarians, artists, scientists, trans people, federal employees, and cultural institutions. Many, he asserts, are skirting the law merely to survive.
"In Congress, fear keeps the Republican majority in line and causes all too many Democrats to mind their language. Trump once derided his own Secretary of State and national-security adviser as 'Little Marco,' and he has been an entirely obedient satrap ever since. The Cabinet is a quivering collection of yea-sayers," Remnick noted.
Remnick also drew parallels with foreign autocrats, with some critics likening Trump’s second-term trajectory to what political scientists call “competitive authoritarianism.”

"They Govern Like Day Traders"
When a sitting Congressman admits he’ll go broke without insider trading, it’s not a gaffe; it’s a glimpse into how broken Washington truly is.
There are bipartisan issues that every one of you should be pissed about…starting with legislators having the right to insider trade. Are they legislating for us or their portfolios? Read my current @SubstackInc article “The Govern Like Day Tracers.” therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/they-gover...

Like all journalists & researchers, I rely on federal data. In the last Trump admin, I noticed how data I needed was changed to undermine its integrity and utility. But this is a whole new autocratic level of abuse--firing a govt employee because the data reveals the reality Trump wants erased.
