Democracy just cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage. America must get to work. ~ Thurgood Marshall

If politics corrupts economic data, it stops being useful. Businesses won’t trust it. Voters can’t hold leaders accountable. The value of data lies in the truths it reveals — lose that, and you lose everything.
BLS Commissioner is a role that has never gone to an ideologue. It’s been for data nerds who care only about numbers. Put in someone with a record of distorting data, and every figure becomes tainted.
"This tragedy is not an isolated event. It is a dire reflection of ever-escalating threats public health workers face in a climate increasingly shaped by misinformation, politicization, and inflammatory rhetoric." www.statnews.com/2025/08/09/c...

Maybe Summers read the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter on "Donald Trump and the Deconstruction of America," which notes all the daily outrages from Trump distract from the grand master plan of MAGA to transform American society. The big-picture story of Trumpism isn't being told. Check it out.

He is a depraved, dysfunctional, damaged man - too damaged to care about the harm he does, or all the people he hurts.
Even though the Big Ugly Bill just got signed into law many of the damages will be delayed. GOPigs hope this will prevent you from voting them out in the midterms. Here is when some of the cuts will take effect:
Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Under Kristi Noem's leadership, ICE is illegally obstructing Members of Congress from conducting oversight. She has spent billions of dollars to terrorize our communities and inhumanely detain our neighbors. I have already told her to her face - Kristi Noem must resign!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

"This is a moral moment for our country. We must raise our voices together and defeat this bill." ~Senator Reverend Warnock
Republicans in Washington hope that you won’t notice this. They’re trying to repeal Obamacare again. This time, they just aren’t advertising it. This tax bill will dismantle Obamacare and skyrocket your premiums. I’ll be voting no.
CREW has already tracked 20 foreign properties that the Trump Organization is developing during President Trump's second term. And now the New York Times is reporting that is has 30 deals in it's pipeline, many of which are foreign. This is not normal.
Today, the Supreme Court majority chose to limit courts' ability to strike down unconstitutional policies nationwide. By weakening the judicial branch's role as a check on the executive branch, this ruling will do real harm to our democracy and the rule of law.
Over 11,000 people were either fired or took buyouts at the IRS. And roughly $500 billion in revenue will be lost just this year because of the cuts. Remind us again how that improves government efficiency?

Lots of moms and kids meeting with their Senators in Washington DC today. Senator Murray just met with a bunch of them who are concerned about losing their health care and SNAP benefits in the Big Ugly Bill. The kids dressed up as bumble bees and told her this bill is a 🐝 bee trayal.
Deplorable.
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
