BREAKING: A federal judge blocks the Trump administration from using military troops in immigration raids or law enforcement operations in California, ruling the President's deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law.

Every person, without exception, who claims they voted for King asshole “because of the economy” is lying. All of them. Not a single person voted for that criminal asswipe because of the economy. They voted for him because they wanted team white man to win and be in charge. That’s it.

Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

On Thursday, President Trump issued a new executive order stripping additional federal workers of their union rights, including workers at NASA and the National Weather Service. This comes after other agencies, including HHS and the VA, have terminated union contracts.

Trump is costing the American taxpayers a million dollars a day deploying the National Guard for gardening and janitorial work on the D.C. streets. How about releasing the actual gardeners and janitors from ICE detention and letting the National Guard go back to their civilian jobs?

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
