Republicans want to spend $2 BILLION to convert Alcatraz back into a prison.
To put that in perspective, $2 billion is more than they allocated for all our national parks—combined!
For a party that loves to talk about “waste, fraud, and abuse” I gotta say: This is a dumb idea.
Like, really dumb.

73 million elderly and disabled Americans rely on Social Security’s phone services. Musk’s DOGE team wants to shut them down. This is not about fraud. It is about dismantling public services for profit.

If everyone who was talking about a General Strike was instead of putting their focus into us winning every single election, no matter how small, like the 200+ elections happening today, we would not be in this position for very long.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.
Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

Trump just fired NLRB Member Gwynne Wilcox. The NLRB now lacks a quorum & can't decide cases.
This violates the NLRA, which says Board members can be removed “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause.” news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...
