Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race.

He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile.

Hello?

One thing Republicans aren't talking about is how their mega-bill this summer was the largest SNAP cut in history.

The bill cut $187 billion from the program through 2034, about 20% of the total funding.

They cut food assistance to 4 million people.

There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”

As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor."

Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.

The @uaw.org has claimed a narrow victory in a union election at the BlueOval battery plant in Kentucky, a historic win.

The tally is 526-515 for unionization.

Ford is contesting 41 ballots, a challenge the union is urging them to drop.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Chicago should not be a target of our own military. Thank you Governor #Pritzker for speaking out! We need lower groceries, better paying jobs, and access to healthcare- the Feds should focus on real issues. This fake crime crisis is an illegal power grab. #resist #nokings #LeeCarterforJustice
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

The Director of the White House Office of Personnel Management just said that all government workers should be “at will” employees.

This comment comes as the Trump administration attacks federal unions and tries to erode workers' rights.

An estimated 38% of the total corporate cash savings created by Trump and Republicans’ budget bill will flow to just four Big Tech companies: Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet.

Just so happens that each donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Talk about a return on investment.

This is what fascism looks like.
This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.

Trump portrays himself as both the strongman and perpetual victim, a trope in fascist regimes. But it's bizarre to see it mirrored in the rise of manboy podcast bros who abdicate all civic responsibility for money, and then try the "aw shucks, we'll do better next time" defense.

The worst ones are people like Hassett, who are very aware that they are lying to the American people week after week on Sunday shows to cover for Trump, but do it effortlessly with a smile. In many ways worse than the brainless cultists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Everything about this story is horrific:

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved
The DOJ says it will investigate a US citizen for saying “fuck Isr**l” to a guy in an IDF shirt.

Absolutely the most anti-free speech admin of my lifetime. Probably since the Red Scare, if not earlier.
