I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Am I going crazy or are we announcing a trade deal with a country with whom we have a trade surplus?

The oath doesn’t say preserve and protect the Constitution only when it’s convenient.
WELKER: The 5th Amendment says everyone deserves due process
TRUMP: It might say that, but if you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a million or two million or three million trials

PLEASE SHARE: We're excited to be offering the NASW Summer Diversity Fellowship for the ninth year in a row. $3,000 in funding to supplement summer internship pay. Applications due Tuesday April 1: www.nasw.org/2025Div... 🧪📰
Apply by April 1 for the 2025 NASW Diversity Summer Fellowship
Making ends meet on an intern’s salary can be hard. Stipends don’t always cover the full costs of temporarily relocating to a new city or making ends meet while working remotely. Sometimes, prioritizing steps to advance your career can mean putting off other income opportunities that would otherwise serve more immediate financial needs.

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.
Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991.
Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens.
As of this morning, it’s gone.
