Non Emergency But Important Video: ICE Facilities Good evening.

Democrats need to be demanding entry into ICE facilities, and when denied take it to court.

They need to show up en mass to a few places… do it. Video:

Nah, I just think he’s an existential threat because he does evil things, defends pedophiles, and turns people like you into drooling douche canoes. And I’ve been defending this country since i was 23 so why stop now.

Did you know: Gislane Maxwell was transferred to a nice minimum security prison after talking with trumps lawyer.

A sex trafficker, was transferred to a nicer place by Donald Trump.

Wonder why? Also looks like GOP is the pedo defenders.

The economy is on the precipice of recession. That’s the clear takeaway from last week’s economic data dump. Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue.

Unemployment remains low, but that’s only because labor force growth has gone sideways. The foreign-born workforce is shrinking, and labor force participation is declining. Telling is the economy-wide hiring freeze, particularly for recent graduates, and the decline in hours worked. 

It’s no mystery why the economy is struggling; blame increasing U.S. tariffs and highly restrictive immigration policy. The tariffs are cutting increasingly deeply into the profits of American companies and the purchasing power of American households. Fewer immigrant workers means a smaller economy.

Any notion that the economic data misrepresents the reality of how the economy is performing is way off base. There are revisions to the data, even big revisions, but they universally say the economy is doing worse. That’s because it is. 

BTW, the DOGE cuts are a key factor in the revisions—not because BLS has cut staff, although that can’t help, but because the government often reports payrolls to BLS late. It didn’t matter when government employment was stable, but now that it’s declining, the cuts are picked up in the revisions.

Trump is panicking because the economic numbers are giving a recession vibe.

If Democrats want to win back the Senate, we must win in Texas. That's not optional. That's math.

Texans are tired of weak politicians and partisan games. They want someone who will step up, speak truth, and solve problems.

And I'm the candidate who can get it done.

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.

AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.

Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

🤬 For the third day in a row, the Russians are trying to destroy the Ostrivsky Bridge in Kherson.

🙏 About 1,800 civilians remain in the Korabel area, to which the bridge leads, and the authorities are evacuating those who have agreed to leave.
