Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

Calling out the national guard has a lesser effect on people when all other US agencies are heavily militarized already and following the Trump regime's orders. Martial law may have not been declared yet but it sure is being practiced.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:
ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.
The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.
This is ridiculous.

Trump cracking down on border security was never about Americans dying from overdoses of trafficked fentanyl like he claimed. If it was, he wouldn't be banning the one thing that is proven to save lives.
the irony here is that by cutting said funding, they're increasing the likelihood that RFK Jr. might not survive a relapse.

The Attorney General is so unserious.
If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this.
Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?
