Haha yes. Because ADP shows a really really really bad jobs report.

Without rule of law, citizenship is no shield. "Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties." chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

It wasn't Hitler or Himmler who kidnapped me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, and the neighbor who were given uniforms and then believed they were the master race." Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

Just like all of you I’m tired. Tired of all the lies and bullshit. Yet, I get up everyday with a renewed purpose to keep fighting. Just like you do. Don’t despair people. We must stay together and lift each other up.

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This is pathological conduct. "How are you dealing with this tragedy and the loss of a friend?" "Look, I have a new toy. Did you see my new toy? It's the best toy. It's my toy."

Check this out!

Kash Patel is Director of the FBI in the same way that Ronald McDonald is the Chief Financial Officer of McDonald's.

Kash Patel fired the 'legendary' special agent in charge of Utah's FBI divison just a month before she would have led the ongoing manhunt for Charlie Kirk's assassin.

Big surprise, it's not working out super well to have Kash Patel running the FBI

The former head of the FBI’s Salt Lake City field office, a legendary agent named Mehtab Syed (pictured), was sacked by Kash Patel. Patel’s deputy director is a podcaster with zero FBI experience. If the FBI manhunt in Utah seems like amateur hour it’s because it is.

Numerous journalists and writers purged today for posting factually about a slain regime ally, a bomb threat at the DNC HQ, 6 HBCUs closed due to bomb threats, shots fired at the Naval Academy, and that's just today.

The Naval Academy is on lockdown from a shooting, Charlie Kirk’s assassin is on the loose, Russia is launching drones into Poland, and Trump is at a Yankees game.

The murder of Charlie Kirk breaks my heart. My deepest sympathies are with his wife, two young children, and friends. Attacks against political or ideological opponents are cowardly and un-American, and must be universally condemned.

BREAKING: Joe Biden on Charlie Kirk Death: 'There is no place in our country for this kind of violence. It must end now.'

Trump orders flags throughout the United States lowered to 'Half Mast' until Sunday evening in honor of Charlie Kirk. (A courtesy not extended to Melissa Hortman and her husband.)

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t the only person shot today. But, they’re not big name MAGA’s, so it’s unlikely we’ll hear much about it from this administration. At least 3 students injured in shooting at Colorado high school. #CommonsenseGunReform flip.it/5-LzW5

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists. RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked a New Hampshire law that attacks diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in public schools, colleges and universities, and more. This is a win for academic freedom and the rights of students to an inclusive and equitable education.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in

Kennedy must GO!

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

50th! Feels like we should have it a party.
