Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.
President of Brazil, Lula da Silva: "My message to the United States, Israel, and Iran is simple: The world is tired of your conflicts. Diplomacy is not a sign of weakness; it is the highest expression of human intelligence. Those who die are not the ones signing the attack orders in Washington or Tel Aviv; those who die are the innocents. Brazil demands an immediate ceasefire and the opening of a negotiation table that is not tainted by arms trade interests."

I’m still reporting on how immigration officials detain U.S. citizens. Send me tips Nicole.foy@propublica.org or signal nicolefoy.27 www.propublica.org/people/nicol...
Veteran George Retes was on the way to his security guard job in CA when agents broke his car window, pepper sprayed & held him for 3 days
Retes was one of many detained citizens who attended the speech as the guest of a Democrat member of Congress or senator

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
Meanwhile in North Carolina..
Three veteran Democrats in safe seats who tended to vote with the G.O.P., all lost their primaries by as much as 48 points. Five Republican incumbents were also swept from the State Legislature.
Calling in the Clinton’s in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.
Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
Marc Elias: "Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won. Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to future generations why, when democracy was at stake, they were such cowards"
The US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has been hit by Iranian drones. It’s on fire. (Al Arabiya)
Horrifying… it all feels like we are living in a dystopian movie
Today, Melania Trump is presiding over a U.N. Security Council meeting titled “Children, Technology, and Education in Conflict.” It’s the first time a spouse of a world leader has chaired such a session, and comes just days after U.S.-Israeli strikes killed scores of Iranian schoolchildren.
Trump promised no new wars and has engaged in military action in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq.
Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. It's still raging a year later.

So he's cool with states restricting ICE employees from getting state jobs. I am 🤷🏽♂️
Oz has profited his entire life from the misery of illness. Now he cancellers medical care. The DOJ has confirmed it will longer comply with States Civil and federal Laws. The Department of Defense has been repurposed as having the purpose of war. Not defense. This social engineering is all evil.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a blind refugee, unable to speak English. DHS improperly detained-but finally released him
Instead of bringing him home, they dropped him miles away-without regard to his disability or notifying his family
Unable to find his way, he died on the streets of Buffalo

The first US Cabinet happened in 1789.

Transgender adults in Kansas have received letters ordering them to surrender their drivers licenses until they obtain a new one with a marker reflecting their sex assigned at birth.
Their current licenses are now invalid.

American Natives must be “citizens” then. May they build the new government. May spiritual elders decide who is allowed here. May they teach how to live in harmony with nature, and each other.

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
Every accusation is a confession. Austin Smith, a former state legislator and senior official at Turning Point Action, has been sentenced for election-related fraud. Smith had previously been a vocal critic of election integrity and accused opponents of manipulating voting processes.
Do you know how much the typical worker would be making today if their wages had grown as much as CEO pay?
This graph holds the shocking answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI
There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
With all you know about Jeffrey Epstein, did you really want your hard-earned tax dollars to go to him?
Sorry, but they did.
In 2008, nearly $7 billion in taxpayers money went to bail out a secret offshore firm chaired by Epstein.
Here’s how it happened: open.substack.com/pub/craigung...
