Today's jobs report was much weaker than expected. Payroll jobs fell 92k in Feb, and revisions to Dec data show a loss of 17k jobs. Average job growth over the last 3 months now under 6k.

Household survey population controls indicate a significant drop in the labor force.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Torpedoing an unarmed ship, then leaving survivors to die, violates the Geneva Conventions, UNCLOS, the UN Charter, and the Rome Statute. All at once. The Trump regime claims no war exists, which makes this even more illegal. Calling it an 'operation' doesn't make it legal.

Emmanuel Damas died in ICE custody after ICE failed to treat a tooth issue that turned into pneumonia.

ICE didn't even keep his family updated.

The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds.

I'm pressing with Senator Markey and Rep. Pressley to hold ICE accountable.

A majority of ​the U.S. Senate β€Œbacked Pres Trump's military ​campaign against Iran, ​voting to block a ⁠bipartisan resolution ​aiming to stop ​the air war & require that any ​hostilities against ​Iran be authorized by Congress.
The tally was ​52-47 ⁠not to advance the war ​powers resolution. πŸ‘‡

BLM proposes quadrupling allowed logging on millions of acres in western Oregon The Bureau of Land Management is preparing a revision to how much logging is allowed on Oregon and California Railroad Lands. That proposal is causing excitement and criticism.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Surviving on caffeine and spite! Discussing the endangerment finding in more detail in later posts. Obv this has been discussed in depth within. Positive naive hopes - the science is there for a. States to continue regulating and/or b. Congress can codify the science into law

I’d be ok with his true priority being an unwanted, historically destructive, vanity construction project instead of waging war and killing people, except that he is also waging war and killing people…

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. The fact that the attack violates the Constitution won’t stop him from trying. It is our job to expose this plot and ensure that it does not succeed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Dearest people who don’t read or remember history:

The reason Iran is ruled by Ayatollahs now is because the U.S. overthrew the democratically-elected Iranian President in 1953 to help American oil interests.
