Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

β€œHe can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, β€˜Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

How Rob Reiner became anti-Prop. 8 kingpin Rob Reiner reflects on the critical role he played in getting California's gay marriage ban overturned.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Brown Univ. junior survived 2019 school shooting: I 'tried everything to figure out this new normal' Mia Tretta, a junior at Brown University was shot in the stomach during a 2019 high school shooting. On Saturday, she was in her dorm on Brown University's campus when a deadly shooting took place.

Student who was shot in the stomach in a mass shooting at her high school in Santa Clarita, CA in 2019 was locked down in her dorm at Brown tonight. "I chose Brown because it was a safe community for me to be in. I liked Rhode Island. I felt safe here."

So many kids lack curiosity. Neither of yours do which is so much fun. Encourage it. It’s learning and builds empathy.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

She could do cotillion (which is sorta similar) with many of the Black sororities alumni groups. I’d start there.

Can’t emphasize how much this is true. Your ability to generate attention is your most marketable skill as a writer, for better or worse. Especially right now. If you hate someone but keep sharing their articles, the people who employ them look at that and go β€œhey, they’re always in the convo”

This Veterans Day, instead of uplifting our veterans, Trump & Republicans are letting them go hungry.

1.2M veterans need SNAP benefits to feed themselves & their families, as do 13% of active military personnel.

This is intentional policy harm, and they deserve better.
