The NY AG has jurisdiction over ANY insider trading that occurs on any NY-based stock exchange
Letitia James should open an IMMEDIATE investigation into whether Trump insiders and Republican members of Congress used advance notice of Trump's 90-day tariff pause to buy stocks

The decision in Abrego Garcia seems to be 9-0, calling his deportation illegal but directing the lower court to clarify what “effectuate” (as in, bring about his return) means. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Voters wanted to LOWER the cost of living
Trump and Republicans promised they would
Now instead they're RAISING costs -- through tariffs (national sales taxes of 10-50% on EVERYTHING) and now by cutting the ACA and Medicaid (raising healthcare costs)
100% BAIT-AND-SWITCH

Niccolò Machiavelli argued that sometimes it is “a very wise thing to simulate madness.”
Wise, that is, for the manipulative ruler.
Trump is simulating madness, but it’s all about increasing his wealth and power.

WATCH: @tnrepparkinson.bsky.social calls out Rep. Mark White for using selective data to claim privately-run charter schools perform better than actual public schools — as White pushes a bill to take even more power away from local school districts that may not want more charter schools.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

My friend and fellow former Labor Secretary Julie Su has a must-read report on how DOGE's cuts hurt workers.
Over 40 DOL offices that inspect workplace safety have been closed — and staff investigating child labor and wage theft are on the chopping block.

Trump officials admitted to an “administrative error” when they deported Abrego Garcia — a legal resident with no criminal record.
A judge ordered Garcia be returned, but Trump is fighting it in court.
Garcia now sits in a prison in El Salvador.
The cruelty is staggering.

60% of Florida voters approved a $15 minimum wage initiative in 2020 — a bigger vote share than Trump ever got in the state.
But the state GOP is now trying to gut the law by carving out exceptions for major categories of workers.
