"Wenn das der Führer wüsste!"

We have circled the drain and now the US in 2025 is the land of Führerprinzip. The war ended 80 years ago and yet here we are. But this time the enemy is at home.

"These are the people who think Trump will come to their aid."

Have you ever seen how people reply to "Trump's" truth social posts, saying they voted for him but his actions are harming them, then professing their continued devotion to him, then begging him personally for aid? It's a pathetic cult.

Correct, literally nothing he said was true.

Important info debunking the Presidential rationale for firing the BLS commissioner.

Why did you capitalize the "r" in Trump?

The weaponization of gov't and lawfare from the Trump (the child rapist) administration continues.

And even if that were true, it would mean Trump is a damned fool for "coincidentally" firing her on the day a bad jobs report is released, and it also means nobody in his support staff was willing to point out how shitty the optics would be. They're either lying or they're idiots. No third choice.

Not a pretty jobs report today...

I think this one chart sums up what's wrong with anyone pointing to unemployment as a sign the labor market is "solid."

A lot to unpack in the 🧵

Do you understand the linear flow of time? And that all photographs were taken in the past?

Looking forward to your statement on this scandal. An independent BLS is incredibly important right now in part due to the economic fallout of these tariffs. This is a major problem and needs to be called out as such. It weakens America.

Bad decision. Horrifically bad timing.

That was so depressing to watch. I'm a decently intelligent and educated person, I'm intellectually curious, I read the news, but I don't think I'm anything special. Compared to someone like that, though, I'm a fucking genius. What a dismal state of affairs.

President Trump called into question the integrity of the Employment Situation report that the BLS released this morning. He accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of deliberately reporting false numbers to reflect poorly on this administration. This baseless, damaging claim undermines the valuable work and dedication of BLS staff who produce the reports each month. This escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence and integrity of the federal statistical system. The President seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news. The Commissioner does not determine what the numbers are but simply reports on what the data show. The process of obtaining the numbers is decentralized by design to avoid opportunities for interference. The BLS uses the same proven, transparent, reliable process to produce estimates every month. Every month, BLS revises the prior two months’ employment estimates to reflect slower-arriving, more-accurate information. This rationale for firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit and undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics that are a cornerstone of intelligent economic decision-making by businesses, families, and policymakers. U.S. official statistics are the gold standard globally. When leaders of other nations have politicized economic data, it has destroyed public trust in all official statistics and in government science. We call on Congress to respond immediately, to investigate the factors that led to Commissioner McEntarfer’s removal, to strongly urge the Commissioner’s continued service, and ensure that the nonpartisan integrity of the position is retained. The statement from the President undermines these tenets and politicizes data which cannot and should not be used for political points.

"...escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence & integrity of the federal statistical system.

"The president seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news.

"...firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit & undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics..."

Trump moves G. Maxwell to a minimum security camp, so to distract from the fact that he's a child rapist supporting child rapists, he announces the movement of nuclear subs against Russia and fires the BLS commissioner.

I miss having a boring, competent President.

Just as Trump demanded a stop to testing during the height of covid because the exploding number of cases laid bare the incompetency of his response, he is now taking an axe to BLS for accurately reporting on the economic results of his policies. This is a five-alarm fire.

This is terrible, terrible news.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds.

Then the harassment began.

Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel.

Six credible threats to his life.

More than 400 “vile” calls to his chambers—including this voicemail:

Nobody finds it offensive, nobody cares. But idiots on the right keep saying shit like "libs are FURIOUS about this new ad lololo" and the "fell for it again" crowd is falling for it again. It's projection. Remember how they were shooting at bud light cans because of one promo w/a trans woman? lol

I’m pretty fucking sick of these people voting for republicans to represent them, those republicans fucking everything up, them coming to democrats to beg for help, and then going back to voting for republicans anyway

‘Welcome to hell’: Inside the megaprison where the U.S. deported migrants Interviews with 16 former detainees of El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center offer the most complete view yet of conditions inside the notorious prison.

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted.

These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

I don't know why Bluesky continually insists on pushing you into my discover feed, but your takes are beyond tiresome and are never anything new. Time to save myself from this tripe. Blocked.

This mass shooting took place in a city with an $11 billion police budget, under a police mayor, where the only cops the shooter encountered ended up shot, and the cops played no role in the shooter being subdued. If your takeaway from this is "more cops," you're simply an unserious child.

"You're no longer a signals analyst with a language speciality, you're now a warrior linguist."

"That sounds like some stupid bullshit, Sergeant."

"Sure does, but that's the new guidance. You don't really care anyway. Get back to work."

We are in a very dangerous phase of politics when a guy caught red-handed watching porn on a zoom meeting can simply say it never happened and rely on his ideological supporters to accept that explanation and move on. I don’t even think they believe it. They’re just happy to accept it as cover.

Yeah so the moment we are back in power this freak needs to be impeached and referred for prosecution

The “party of small government” has just created the largest militarized police force on Earth, and a top 15 military globally. What could possibly go wrong with a secret police force that rounds up undesirables without due process of law and locks them in concentration camps???

And Bove was just confirmed.

This timeline sucks.
