Bitcoin drops 13%, breaking below $64,000 as sell-off intensifies, doubts about crypto grow Some market watchers have suggested $70,000 is a key level to watch and a break below that could lead bitcoin to decline further.

Job losses on par with the Great Recession. National debt is ballooning because of Trumpโ€™s Big Ugly Bill. More money going to billionairesโ€™ pockets, less to yours.

This is Trumpโ€™s economy.

Trumpโ€™s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

Trump has made 10,000 times his salary after just ONE year in office. How? Selling access to the White House to the highest bidder.

Spread the word: Our crook of a President is corrupt to his core and will stop at nothing to line his own pockets.

Bloody Minnesota and the normalization of state violence A key distinguishing feature of authoritarian governments is their ability to use excessive force against opponents.

Commentary: The killing of two civilians by ICE agents in Minnesota may mark a decisive turning point in the Trump administrationโ€™s gradual slide toward authoritarianism.

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

The Key to Minneapolisโ€™s Successful ICE Resistance The cityโ€™s rapid mobilization against ICE was aided greatly by a community with well-worn connections and a tradition of mutual aid. You canโ€”and shouldโ€”start building this resilience where you live.

Whatโ€™s happening in Minneapolis might be the template for what the Trump admin wants to bring to your hometown next. How they resist should be your template too. trib.al/H3I9kxG

Sign up for the ICE watch thatโ€™s happening near youโ€”because almost certainly, ICE is already there.

Her notes for the Senate Judiciary Committee had nothing to do with her work leading the DOJ, or even the embattled border czar. Rather, Bondi had collected screenshots of social media posts, prewritten comebacks, and handwritten notes she hoped could give her a good โ€œgotchaโ€ moment.

If this country was truly โ€œpro-life,โ€ we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isnโ€™t about โ€œlife.โ€
