Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

Consider:
Members of our military know, "I was following orders" does not excuse them from atrocities they commit.
ICE agents - who are flagrantly violating our 4th & 5th amendment rights - have qualified immunity, which means they CAN use "I was following orders" as an excuse.

It's time for state Governors to call up the National Guard to protect the rights of US citizens.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.
Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

As interesting it is to see Trump & MAGA reap the Epstein discord they have sowed for more than a decade, I don't think Trump committed sexual atrocities on the Island.
...
However, human trafficking was NOT Epstein's source of income.
It was money laundering.
...
THAT... could touch Trump.

I can't wait to see what the next 10 months are going to be like for Colbert. Now he has nothing to lose. It's a shame he lost his show, but this is going to be interesting. CBS, Paramount, and Dementia Don are all now fair game. Colbert ratings will go thru the roof. I ordered a case of popcorn.

Trump wants to cut the National Institutes of Health budget by 40%.
But even a 10% cut would prevent an estimated 30 new medications from reaching the market over the next 30 years.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Thank you to everyone who came to the eagle release yesterday! 🦅
A few months ago, this eagle was found dangling from a tree, tangled in fishing line. LCAS HLEOs were able to free it, and thanks to Blue Ridge Wildlife Center and Kristi's Wildlife Rehabilitation care, the eagle made a full recovery!
