Home sales dropped to the lowest level since 2009.
Down 35% from pandemic peak, and by 25% from pre-pandemic norms. This was the 2nd-worst February reading in the last 30 years.
Republican mismanagement of the economy is scaring the crap out of people. #EconSky
Worth noting that Amentum, like its predecessor, has been the focus of frustration within ICE and the WEXMAC community.
Over a month ago, a source I spoke with called out Amentum by name as “struggling” to handle the mission at Camp East Montana.
Shame on Citizens Bank for treating concerned customers this way! When account holders learn their money is being used to finance ICE terror, they have questions that deserve answers. Learn more at www.de-icecitizensbank.org

Everyone should boycott to be honest. No country can guarantee the safety of their players/staff/fans in the face of ICE goons.
Breaking: Liberal govt today voted down No More Loopholes Act, legislation that would have closed major loophole that allows Canadian military exports to reach Israel through US.
This loophole has connected Canada to ICE operations, Israeli genocide, and US attack on Venezuela.
Arms Embargo Now!
You know that Minneapolis solo attorney who you RT'd two days ago after he announced he was up 10 clients released via habeas in immigration cases, despite having filed his first-ever .habeas petition only 29 days prior?
He's gotten two more clients released from ICE custody *today*.

Since the disastrous Citizens United decision, dark money spending in elections has grown tremendously.
In 2010, there was $144 million of dark money spending. In the 2024 election cycle, there was nearly $2 billion of dark money spending.
It's time to pass the DISCLOSE Act.
Mississippi Democrats on Tuesday will decide between longtime U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson and his 34-year-old primary challenger, Evan Turnage, in a race that reflects generational struggle for control of the party.

The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.
This guy thought he’d never have to answer for his actions. There’s a lot of that going around. We have to hold ALL of them accountable.
Since Trump’s election:
🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats
🔴 Republicans have flipped 0
Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

It turns out that when a captain gets married onboard his own ship, the first mate officiates. The situation isn’t any different for co-captains.
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.
New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary—about Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis—for termination.
His reason is shocking.

I think David’s exchange with Senator Kennedy may even beat mine!
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
