After an abysmal jobs report, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And Trump’s Labor Department just announced that it will rewrite or repeal 60+ regulations that protect workers.
But his most dangerous move yet is flying under the radar.

72% of people swept up in Trump’s immigration raids have no criminal record.
That includes at least 250 people detained in deplorable conditions in his “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida.
This was never about targeting criminals. It was always about terrorizing immigrants.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

Now, he wants to fire workers who make sure your grandma gets her monthly check.

Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices.
Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work.
They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.
