BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

GOLDMAN hikes its odds of US recession to 35% — from a prior 20%.

The move reflects “the sharp recent deterioration in household and business confidence, and statements from White House officials indicating greater willingness to tolerate near-term economic weakness in pursuit of their policies.”

This is a mistake to be clear but thinking using signal is a Pete hegseth only thing is laughable at best
“What Pete Hegseth did is probably the worst thing a soldier could do in the eyes of the military short of murdering someone, and even then, I’d probably argue it’s worse because it could easily get others killed.” - good summary read on what Hegseth & crew did.
"It’s an all-timer OPSEC failure, so inexplicably irresponsible and careless and dangerous, that for those of us who have been in these environments, it’s difficult to articulate the stratospheric degree of fuckup this happens to be."

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people.

In January 1941 America’s president wrote a very short, hand-written note to the British prime minister, whose nation was alone against a Nazi occupied Europe, including a then German-aligned Soviet Union. He sent the note via his 1940 Republican presidential opponent, who agreed with FDR about supporting Britain. The note quoted a poem by Henry

He and his sons did and would do anything to stay out of the military. It’s a feature not a bug. They pretend that NATO allies haven’t come to our aid to achieve their end goal: business in Russia probably of the real estate kind. With Trump there’s no need to
Moulton: He doesn’t have any sons or daughters who served in the military after 9/11. If just one of them had signed up, maybe he would know that we served on the ground alongside Canadian troops, French troops, troops from the UK, the Danes, the Poles—And you know, they lost a lot of lives there
