Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters.

Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud.

It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Greenland’s prime minister has warned residents to prepare for the possibility of a U.S. invasion. It’s surreal to even be here. Not only is Trump continuing to tear at the fabric of our own country, but now this reckless and imperial-style rhetoric is spilling outward everywhere.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Not really that hard to understand. Framed correctly here by Steohanopoullos.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we want to shine a light on our most under-appreciated leaders.

The Last Class is a reflection of the educators who show up every day, despite a system that asks the impossible. It's a love letter to the teaching profession that means so much to @rbreich.bsky.social.

If you found it “too hard” to wear a mask or stay at home during shelter in place orders, you’re really not going to like being chronically ill.

I assure you it’s far easier to adapt when you have a choice. Wear a mask. Open a window. Get your boosters.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.

Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is who Trump governs for.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
