Screenshot of Times article with headline: "Florida may loosen child labour laws to fill gap left by migrants"
The article explains a law has been proposed in Florida to allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts in agriculture & constraction to make up for lost migrant labour. Yes really.

You truly could not make it up.

You could not.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

What they did was clearly illegal. Don’t investigate. Arrest!

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

@markwarner.bsky.social Glad to see some action re USAID but WHAT are you doing about Musk’s invasion of Treasury? Illegal and a dire threat to national security. Arrests must be made!!

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Apparently you’ve introduced a bill to stop illegal access to federal data. WHY DO WE NEED SUCH A BILL? It’s already illegal. WE NEED THESE PEOPLE ARRESTED NOW!!

@fetterman.senate.gov what are you doing to address Elon Musk’s blatantly illegal access to and downloads of information from our nation’s treasury?

@raskin.house.gov What are you and other electeds doing about Musk’s clearly illegal takeover of our nation’s payment system? This is terrifying!
