Monthly reminder that biden averaged 330k jobs a month. This 172k will surely get revised down but regardless, this is the strongest jobs report in 13 months and its only 172k jobs. This is nothing to brag about.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Staggering levels of corruption.

They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families.

And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

[Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter]

18 people died in ICE facilities in the first five months of his year and the Trump's Admin's answer is to STOP COUNTING THE DEATHS.

The count last year was *at least* 30 deaths--the highest number in two decades.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

There are no checks and balances. Even after the fake harrumph about the blatantly illegal president slush fund, the senate kept it in. And also a blank 70 billion dollar check to an unrestrained militarized immigration scam complex.
There are no checks and balances. None

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Has anyone in Dem leadership—Jeffries, Schumer, anyone—spoken out on defense of Tlaib and Hamawy after the racist attacks targeting them yesterday? Any major pundit, liberal nonprofit? Any editorial board? Republicans smearing Muslim electeds as “terrorists” is simply a nonstory

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.

Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.

In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.

All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!

This is sick.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

I’m completely broken watching this. How is the world still letting Israel genocide the Palestinians? Someone …. Please do something …. Anything

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

[Michelle_BYoung @michelle_byoung]

I know he was innocent and I suppose that matters but here’s what gets lost in that discourse YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL THE GUILTY EITHER! Stealing is NOT a death penalty crime. We have to resensitize ourselves to DUE PROCESS for Black people too! There’s a process…

[Sam Alberti @sam_alberti]

I cannot express to dem staffers how little appetite their is for shit like this right now

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

California voted 63 percent to ban this. Massachusetts voted 78 percent. The industry sued and lost at the Supreme Court.

So they slipped a provision into the House farm bill to void both votes and block every future state from trying. One lobbying campaign undoing two supermajority referendums.

The largest beneficiary is Smithfield - owned by a Chinese company. Congress is being asked to override American voters to protect a Chinese corporation's factory farming practices.

84 percent of Americans called this unacceptable in polling. The Senate gets to decide if that number means anything.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

> Republican gets elected President.

> Cuts benefits for the poor.

> Cuts taxes for the rich.

> Starts a war in the Middle East.

> Causes a recession.

It's crazy how it’s always the same thing every single time.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Why is the mainstream media always talking about California's problems, and never about the insane conditions in red states?

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

fun fact: the NYT hasn't had a breaking news headline about a bombing in Gaza (~1000 killed by US/Israel since Oct 2025) or Lebanon (3,400+ killed by US/Israel since Oct 2025) since Oct 2025.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

It should disturb you to no end that the US government is doing extrajudicial murder of random people on the ocean. No trial, no evidence, no due process. And now nobody even bothers to talk about it. The number of people killed may be over 200 now.

[GenXGirl @GenXGirl1994]

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ about the NDAA provision for Israel and oppose it with everything you got.

This is as bad as it gets.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

The crazy/scary thing about the lady with the “no right hand” situation and supposedly texting while driving is that once the officer realized he was wrong, instead of just admitting it, he let his ego take over and still proceeded to give her a ticket anyway.

Some people may look at it like “it’s not that deep,” but honestly it is.

Because if someone’s ego is too big to admit they were wrong in a small situation like that, imagine how that could show up in bigger situations involving other people. Ego makes people double down instead of self-correcting, and that’s dangerous.
