These workers were *building* the plant. And construction had to stop because of the arrests. Which means that ICE is now directly undermining efforts to create domestic manufacturing jobs.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Trump has dropped or halted more than 1 in 5 investigations and enforcement actions against corporate lawbreakers. At least 34 of those companies — including Tesla, Amazon, and Wells Fargo — gave over $34M to Trump's inaugural. It's a new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

Yesterday it was revealed that the Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles. After the story broke, the State Department's procurement document removed mention of Tesla. "Transparency."

Holy Sh*t: The U.S. State Department could soon award Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company a $400 million contract for a so-called “armored Tesla,” according to a report. This is like 3rd world corruption! Musk invested $270 million in Trump and now gets paid!

MTG wants to control your access to information. Fight back by being well informed. Develop trusted sources of information. Do not let them keep you in the dark about what they are doing-that is the hope of dictators.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS. This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement. He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

I look at this accurate headline, and I just find it to be so infuriating and utterly depressing. She should be celebrating and excited to get to work, like any freshman member. She should be able to celebrate her historic achievement. Instead, she’s fending off attacks she did nothing to ignite.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my six-year-old friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get polio shots (without the howling of governors or anti-vaxxers). And we eradicated polio. Why has saving lives become political?
