Trump weighs more Cabinet changes after Bondi ouster Pam Bondi was ousted from her post as attorney general on Thursday, but Trump is said to be considering also removing others.

“Trump has expressed frustration and disappointment with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer — and is pondering making additional changes to his Cabinet” www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Trump lies

Senate Republicans finally gave in to the demand of Schumer and his caucus to fund TSA because Thune knew that long airport lines were becoming a lead weight for Republicans.

Now Johnson and House Republicans have chosen to take sole ownership of chaos at the airports.

Child labor violations rise in US – as Republicans still roll back protections Nebraska, Indiana and West Virginia Republicans have all rolled back child labor regulations while the number of violations has risen fivefold in the last decade

Shameful and a travesty. When the states erode Federal standards, "then they have nothing in place to protect minors from hazardous work, exploitative conditions" @ninamast.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A Meatpacking Strike in Colorado Is Another Stress to Trump’s Economy

“They pointed to their own bodies to make the case for raises and better working conditions.” Showing scars and damaged joints.
Meatpacking is a very dangerous job and JBS is the largest meat company in the world. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

When @jbarab.bsky.social, @debbieberkowitz.bsky.social and I ran OSHA, we described employers who did nothing to abate serious hazards as having "faith-based safety programs".

They're not focused on the "worst of the worst."

Trump's ICE agents in Texas just detained a DACA recipient who was on his way to deliver milk to his newborn daughter in the NICU.

Republicans still want us to write a blank check for this cruelty. Not another dime!

This week, Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the so-called SAVE America Act, a bill designed to make it harder for certain citizens to vote in order to rig elections in their favor.

This is a fraud masquerading as an election integrity effort.

We can't let this pass.

JBS workers launch first US meatpacking strike in 40 years YouTube video by Reuters

JBS is the largest meat packer in the world. They reported net revenue of $22.6 billion in the third quarter of 2025, a 13 % increase from 2024. Slaughterhouses are dangerous workplaces and these workers deserve a living wage and a safe workplace!

3,800 workers are on strike at a massive U.S. meatpacking plant. They want higher wages and better healthcare Union officials say the company charges many workers more than $1,000 each to pay for their safety equipment.

Wow! First slaughterhouse strike in 40 years. Union accuses JBS of committing unfair labor practices, charging workers for safety equipment and offering a tiny wage increase, well below inflation rate

Some personal news: This is my last week at The Washington Post.

I’ve loved so much of the last 9 years here, but my faith in the paper’s current leadership is broken beyond repair.

Incredibly excited to get to work w/ the newsroom below (I start in June)

WaPo Deputy Opinion Editor is just straight up lying about Mamdani's estate tax proposal (in both tweets and an op-ed).

The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million.

The country is in the hands of incompetent fools

Democrats are ready to fund TSA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund CISA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund FEMA. And Coast Guard. Republicans are blocking it.

Terrible that Senate Republicans are refusing to fund cybersecurity, TSA, and FEMA

Ohio’s small business owners have worked hard to create millions of jobs in this state. 

These community leaders deserve a Senator who sees that hard work and fights to protect it.

Heading into the 2022 midterms, Republicans had a 19-point advantage on which party is more trusted on the economy. The new NBC news poll finds the GOP no longer has any (zero, zilch) advantage on the economy, and 62% disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation (was 55% disapprove a year ago).

Manufacturing jobs fell again, down 12,000 between January and February 2026. Since January 2025, the manufacturing sector has lost 100,000 jobs. I repeat: The manufacturing sector lost 100k jobs since Trump took office.

Shame on Indiana. Walking away from protecting the most vulnerable in our society- our kids.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Trump’s vicious attacks on judges fuel his bid for unchecked power | Steven Greenhouse The president and his aides vilify the judiciary with brutal rhetoric, hoping to delegitimize a co-equal branch of government

Trump’s vicious attacks on judges—calling them evil, fools, disloyal, lunatics and monsters—are unprecedented.

Those ugly attacks are right out of Authoritarian Playbook 101—an effort to delegitimize the judiciary & destroy our system of checks & balances www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
