YouGov/Economist Trump weekly job approval for 2025.

I took the NYT's findings and added 23-24 cycle MAGA Inc + Adelson and Musk's super PAC fundraising... The top 10 givers gave over $635 million alone.

In 2025, America saw the highest number of measles cases in over 30 years. That’s just a preview of what’s to come as RFK Jr continues his rollback of vaccine guidance.

💰Trump’s wealth increased by about $2.5B since his reelection, to $6.9B 💰 Eric’s increased 10x, to $400M. 💰 Don Jr.’s 6x, to $300M. 💰 Barron, a college sophomore, is worth $150M.

Since "Liberation Day" the economy has lost 67,000 manufacturing jobs.

DeSantis admin diverted child welfare and medical funds for consultants, ads

there are pundits who will say that immigration is trump's strongest issue and that picking fights around immigration helps him on the margins. but i think this misunderstands the way public opinion works, as evidenced by trump's declining fortunes on his handling of immigration.

Dude is out here trying to be King Herrod.

Over the last 400 days the Trump fam has pocketed over $1.2B in cash from his three primary crypto ventures’ sales, fees and interest from his stablecoin reserve. Add in bogus legal settlements, Qatar plane & Melania’s Amazon documentary deal…and you get: www.americanprogress.org/feature/trum...

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

A big subtext here: The GOP and Trump administration — including Trump himself! — have repeatedly bemoaned the plight of persecuted Christians over the years, often referencing Iranian Christians in particular. But per this priest, the admin is trying to deport Iranian Christians back to Iran.

Via me and @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social: CBP posted a pic of two detained Iranians, saying, “No fun in the sun when you are unlawfully present.” According to their Episcopal priest, they’re Christian converts seeking asylum, and deporting them may be a death sentence religionnews.com/2025/12/09/b...

The entire labor movement is heartbroken by the senseless attack on @cwaunion.bsky.social Local 2222 lineman and Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe and Army Spec. Sarah Beckstrom just blocks away from the AFL-CIO House of Labor. Our thoughts are with their families.

Workers in all industries have more in common with each other than the executives making millions. Solidarity with everyone who is not crossing the line or buying Starbucks while we’re on a ULP strike! Special thanks to @Teamsters, for not crossing the picket line and standing with us✊

First Jobs Day since the shutdown, and @saraestep.bsky.social and I are here with the latest analysis of today's data and how job seekers are struggling in Trump's economy. ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/in-a...

Out here in York, PA where @sbworkersunited.org strikers are BLOCKADING the largest Starbucks distribution center in the country to demand a fair contract!!

If you're into labor and unions, read everything @davidmadland.bsky.social and @karlawalter.bsky.social write. They've got a good one out today outlining what states and localities can do to protect workers' rights if labor law stops being enforced. www.americanprogress.org/article/unio...

Imports are way down, exports remain flat, and domestic manufacturing continues to contract. So who's winning? Other than Trump, of course, who got a gold bar and a rolex from the Swiss just recently to help seal their trade deal... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

New Pod @citizenwillis.bsky.social from @americanprogressaction.org discusses how Trump and his family are profiting off the presidency Will & @colin-seeberger.bsky.social also break down a new tool that tracks the president's profits and what can be done to stop him from cashing in on his office

Did you know the bill to end the shutdown eliminates rules to prevent food contamination and foodborne illnesses, even though they are increasing? And it slows efforts to regulate ultra-processed foods, even while RFK Jr touts his MAHA agenda to reduce them? www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

For his part, Don Jr. has been very busy since his father's re-election. He's taken on new roles in 11 companies since November 2024. 5/ www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

By my count 11 of the 21 corporations who donated to Trump’s ballroom also suspended or stopped their political contributions after January 6th. Altria Amazon Booz Comcast Google Lockheed Meta Micron Microsoft T-Mobile Union Pacific

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

We are currently in a state of emergency, and under siege, here in Chicago. ICE is a lawless, violent gang whose abuses of innocent men, women and children have gone completely unchecked.

NEW: The "compact" the Trump administration proposed to 9 universities earlier this month is a dangerous trap -- not only would the deal cede significant control over colleges, but it would open them and their leaders up to great legal risk. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Tell 'em cuz.

Left-leaning pages appear to have handily won the online "shutdown" battle yesterday. They outpaced right-leaning pages on posts mentioning the "shutdown" and "health care." Their totals on those issues also both surpassed the right's mentions of "immigration."

Trump's deployment of masked federal agents into LA, DC, and Chicago is straight from the authoritarian playbook—just ask the people of Hong Kong and Venezuela.

Pope releases World Communications Day theme: “Preserving Human Voices & Faces” writing: “Humanity today has possibilities that were unimaginable a few years ago…while these tools offer efficiency & reach, they cannot replace the uniquely human capacities for empathy, ethics & moral responsibility.”

It’s as clear as day why a shutdown may be happening this week. Here’s Russ Vought, architect of Trump’s 2025 project and the shutdown strategy, arguing that a shutdown government is a good way to pass the bills they want to pass. bsky.app/profile/citi... #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

"I don't think anyone should be afraid of a government shutdown... It's actually what's necessary to pass these bills individually." -Russ Vought September 22, 2023

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...
