EEOC to Trans Workers: “We Won’t Defend You Anymore”
The EEOC has deprioritized all transgender cases, effectively ending federal protections. Civil rights are now conditional, and trans workers are the target.

Trump's newly confirmed IRS commissioner, Billy Long, brags about being a CTBA — Certified Tax and Business Advisor — on his X profile.
But tax experts told ProPublica they have never heard of CTBA as a credential in the tax profession.

For 40 years, Americans have lived shorter lives than people in other rich countries.
For 10 years, that's been rapidly getting worse.
New research: in 2022-2023, there were 1.5 million "missing Americans," who died--but wouldn't have, if America didn't have such uniquely high death rates.

it has been so lovely to see all of the Keynesians team up
As some of you have seen, Paul Krugman has interviewed me again for his newsletter. This time about the Trump Tariff Financial Crisis. It is surreal to have done two of these in seven weeks, & it may yet become a regular thing. Thanks again @pkrugman.bsky.social!

I appreciate the unions who promised to fight back against Trump’s attack on workers, but we need concrete plans. What does “fighting back” mean here?
Lawsuits don’t work. Protests only go so far. A general strike would require an enormous amount of organizing.
What are we gonna DO to stop this?
