It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Another brutal jobs report. The economy lost 32,000 jobs in September, and August was revised from +54,000 all the way down to -3,000. That’s not just a slowdown—it’s a collapse. The economy is clearly in trouble under Trump, and Republicans are still in total denial.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth.

Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Key line from Powell:

".. One possibility is that workers, who see their real incomes decline because of higher prices, demand and get higher wages .., setting off adverse wage–price dynamics. Given that the labor market .. faces increasing downside risks, that outcome does not seem likely.”

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Anyone who claims that the decision to halt Trump’s tariffs is an example of judicial overreach is unserious, uninformed or a liar. Or all of the above.

I wish more people understood that grants aren’t handouts. They are payments for services the government can’t provide without contracting with nonprofits & universities. We are out here doing the work of keeping people safe and the country functioning. The government needs us. The country needs us.

Picking on immigrants is the oldest play in the American book, it’s designed to work on the broken psyches of the sort of townie white mediocrity that loves Trump. It’s political bro country music, designed for the lowest common denominator, the 7/11 of sociopolitical dung.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?
