Judge Henderson &D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rules Trmp admin. must put removed Gov't spending data back online by FRIDAY:
"{This Congress shouldn't} be made to wait while the Executive intrudes on its plenary {= complete; full; absolute} power over approps. & disclosure{s}..."

Trump fires BLS commissioner after weak jobs report Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

It is seriously dangerous territory when Trump fires anyone who doesn't cook the books for him.

The entire economy hinges on the accurate, nonpartisan data we get from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Republicans need to join us in fighting to protect the integrity of BLS.

in attacking data analysis and collection, the "booming under trump" is just his fey voice, & not underlying data.

Trump’s use of force and ad hominem attacks, his threats & dissent punishments show us what a danger he is to OUR DEMOCRACY!

Putting your own name in quotes doesn't make data points!

@duckworth.senate.gov On the supply side of the marketplace, REGRESSIVE TAXATION of the Tariffs, falling heaviest on fams spending more $s on consumables, is coming to YR local marketplaces in cascading bits of budget-busting pain.

DT's ClownCar of evil idiots are trying to trick US into thinking We're better off trading our defined benefit SS retirement plans (hedged against inflation), spousal +depend. SS Survivor benefits, AND disability ins. for volatile investm. SCHEMES, that could become WORTHLESS by the time YOU are 72.

Cacophony: No Mea Culpa!
Yrs later, buck's still passed & Chgo city depts (used to well-heeled contractors, pricey dev. attys, & highly paid constr. "Permit Expeditors") say "willing to help, sure, BUT..."

Age verification? The first big concert I went to was at the old Chicago Stadium in June '75 featuring the Beach Boys with band Chicago! (Their Beachago Tour).

But I'd been to lots of little summer concerts before that at the old Grant Park Bandshell near 9th St & (D)LSD.

So an edu. program adjacent to the very popular & in-demand AML (anti-Money-Laundering) body of knowledge, but actually, exactly the opposite. The new program comes with a 30 hr/week unpaid internship, starting as soon as YOU can get to Moscow.

Can you get to Moscow by tomorrow, Comrade Student?

That's a Lipizzaner (grey) horse-shark!

Trump is like please hate these Black people. don’t worry about the Epstein files. you all hate Black people, remember?

🧪But CORRELATION is not CAUSATION, & CRISIS PROFITEERING via anticipatory price ↑s to stay AHEAD of inflation can happen at every level of supply chains, creating "sustained upward pressure on inflation (+) inflation volatility" & "results in lower credibility" for farmers, transporters & suppliers.

🧪Nice whataboutism to distract from @pattistoll.bsky.social's comment, Prof. Ortiz, but 35% of households, like me, don't have a garage/carport/lot for any charger, & may never be in the market for an EV w/o daily chrgs. Maybe stfu before implying that poster made a bad decision with a PHEV? #NotB&W

Poland's 1990 GDP would have represented $163.3B today, adjusted for inflation, vs $980B adjusted for the collapse of the Soviet Union, so a 6-fold increase by skirting the USSR-Satellite-planned economy drags.

After reading just the 1st few pages of a $1M TROLLSUIT SANCTIONS ORDER v. Alina Habba, I can't understand WHY her LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW was NOT REVOKED...

@NJStateBar, it's been 2.5 F'in YEARS since sanction.

Are Rule 11 violations NOT A THING IN NJ?

Potus wants HIS EDICTS as focus of every policy.

Removing tacticians + strategists at State ensures acts WON'T serve OUR long-term needs. Decimating diplomats is 1 way to insure that relations w/ China become as unsettled as kids on a teeter-totter.

The prospect of LOOMING WAR is a key distractor!

Ex-elections clerk Tina Peters asks for unprecedented release amid appeal According to a federal magistrate judge in Colorado, no federal court in the nation's history has ever intervened to release an inmate on bond pending a state court appeal.

Colorado election terrorist #TinaPeters claims in Fed. Court that she’s only imprisoned because of her SPEECH;
She's serving 9 yrs at La Vista Corr., Pueblo, after 7 guilty jury findings, incl. 4 felonies, for helping arrange unauthorized access to voting equip.

@typewriteralley.bsky.social Diesel fumes frequently make our Union Station tracksides unwalkable for many with lung issues. I would have far preferred hybrid trains electrically powered through dense urban populations. Ryan Packer, Why no environmental data updates in your story?

They left out: killing kids overseas and at home, adopting police state tactics, and undermining American democracy. Guess there wasn't room.

¡ Call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and demand they protect Social Security from DOGE destruction !

¡ And tell all your family and friends to do the same !

UPDATE: Hankison has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison.

Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings “criticized prosecutors for making a ‘180-degree’ turn in its approach to the case and said political factors appeared to have influenced its recommendation for a one-day prison sentence.”

I saw this post, and now I can't get the song "Hotel California" out of my head!

The Hitler regeme. The United States of America repeating history. Germany lost the vote after 1933 and did not vote again until 1949.

Well, if files are real, they COULD give context to SOME photos!

@GeorgeTakei About playing Joe on '90s TV series NewsRadio, Rogan described¹ his role as a "very dumbed-down, censored version" of himself.
Trying to play dumb when listening to A-holes, & if called on his sh*t, has become a major part of his shitshow these days.

If school, playground, park is at a com'l street, freight rail, or Hwy, we expose infants & kids to high levels of small particulate pollution (=the most damaging lung pollution).

Traffic idling makes pollution much worse!
Parks should connect 2kids on BIKEABLE ALLEYWAYS!
