🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. https://t.co/ehhCCzys1D
South Carolina is experiencing one of the biggest measles outbreaks the U.S. has seen in decades. In that state, there are 876 confirmed cases of the highly contagious virus, which is preventable with a vaccine.
This current surge may be slowing, but doctors warn there are still serious risks for vulnerable populations, including children and pregnant women.
@WmBrangham speaks to @dr_kkjetelina for more.
As Americans face rising grocery bills, rent hikes, and job insecurity, the Trump administration has delayed a critical inflation report—critics call it a dangerous “politics of erasure,” where facts vanish, trust erodes, and democracy itself falls into steady decay.

A July jobs report way below expectations.
May and June revised down as well.
Unemployment rate ticked back up to 4.2%.
We haven’t seen conditions like these since 2020.
Don’t let Donald Trump gaslight you. He is failing Americans and crashing our economy.
Question:
Are you ok with Trump spending $200,000,000.00 on a Gold- plated Ballroom at the White House while also cutting school meals for millions of needy children and Medicaid for millions of poor Americans?
Firing the head of a key government agency because you don’t like the numbers they report, which come from surveys using long established procedures, is what happens in authoritarian countries not democratic ones. This is surely not the most serious threat to our democracy that @realDonaldTrump poses, but it is the one closest to what we economists do. I don’t see how serious members of the economics profession can stay in his administration.
In case anyone was wondering, you are currently here:
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered…”
- Orwell, 1984.
Trump's move to cook the jobs numbers - by firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics head - is one more step toward authoritarianism. Truth being replaced by propaganda. This is what the Soviets did.
This is a big deal, and we need to act like it. Time for a fight.
The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.
REMINDER: A brave South Florida weatherman interrupted his weather forecast LAST MONTH to expose Trump’s dangerous budget cuts - saying they’ve crippled his ability to accurately predict weather conditions.
This is what happens when you vote for morons:
Trump Admin and Friends Create Alligator ̶𝙰̶𝚕̶𝚌̶𝚊̶𝚝̶𝚛̶𝚊̶𝚣̶ Auschwitz.
Imagine being so evil that locking up innocent people trying to support their families brings you joy and happiness. Most of the immigrants being abducted by ICE have no criminal history. Evil is evil.
What is happened to us as a society? Are we witnessing the end of it? When did everyone just stop caring about other people? What broke us? I’m scared for what’s to come. Am I alone?😥
What's in Trump's bill:
-Adds $4 trillion to the deficit
-Kicks 11 million people off health insurance
-3 million get thrown off food stamps
-Electricity goes up by 30%
-Wealthiest see $12K a year back
-Poorest people $1600 more a year

I’m tired, borderline delirious, and frustrated. After 27 chaotic hours, it’s clear once again that my Republican colleagues are willing to sell out the American people in order to serve Donald Trump’s agenda.
