US layoffs are on pace to blow past 2008 levels — and now the Labor Department is canceling an inflation report? Nothing says “stable economy” like mass job cuts and missing data. Trump’s chaos math: hide the numbers, deny the pain. #TrumpInflationCrisis

One of the scariest things about the current moment is that Vance was selected *specifically* because Trump felt the problem with his prior VP was unwillingness to violate the constitution.

Are you constantly astounded by Trump’s constant torrent of lies that are easily fact checked and debunked? Telling huge lies about numbers actually works for him. Here’s how:
My favorite scene from The Manchurian Candidate brilliantly explains why liars like Trump don’t care about the wild numbers they fabricate. Watch Angela Lansbury explain the perverse logic behind it and why it works.

The Republicans will NEVER let Jack Smith and the massive amount of evidence against Trump in a public hearing, they can’t because the evidence against Trump is incontrovertible.

Dems should hold an alt hearing somewhere other than at the Capitol.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

When you offer Russia peace they don’t see peace, they see weakness and someone leaving themselves open to strike again. Peace with Russia cannot happen without overwhelmingly crushing the Kremlin and asserting dominance. That’s the nature of fascist regimes and death cults.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.
