Cuts to Head Start aren’t an accident for Trump and the GOP Congress. They’re just following the Project 2025 playbook—forcing working families to manage child care and early education at home.

President Trump says Canada and Mexico are allowing fentanyl to come into the U.S. at “levels never seen before.” However, U.S. Customs data shows almost none of the fentanyl intercepted at American borders comes from Canada.

wondering when the “unitary executive” peeps are going to freak the fuck out about having a co-president who’s a private citizen who now has control over Treasury systems that disburse trillions of dollars in federal funds, and all of the private data that goes along with that 🧐🧐🧐
In preview of my Monday morning piece, I'm going to say a little bit about why this is so concerning. This is not some "economy" thing. Its first & foremost the possibility that our legal order is modified so the law of the land is defined by Elon Musk at Treasury

So how much do employees pay for paid leave?
For a minimum wage worker, they will only pay $1.48 a week
For a median wage worker, they will only pay $3.25 a week
That’s less than a cup of coffee a week.
