So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

She was too busy firing the only prosecutors who were trying to send people to jail for foreclosure fraud
What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant.
"Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."

We need to organize around medicaid cuts & highlight them
Here’s an idea:
Dems should build teams of canvassers to go door to door and ask people what their plans are if their Medicaid is cut.
Arm them with a list of meds and the costs, and a list of facility closures & so on.
This helps both gather and spread information, gets the community involved

Commercial real estate for older office buildings is barely hanging on, trading at massive discounts, with growing defaults on mortgages & related bonds.
Great time for the government to terminate thousands of leases!
