Americans are drowning in debt and bills.
Now we learn January layoffs surged to a 17-year high.
Trump’s tariffs and the sycophancy of his rubber stamp Republicans are financially crushing the American people.

CNN: "New data shows January was the lowest months for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession...layoffs way up, hiring ways down. During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. That's roughly double January 2025. In fact, this is the highest since January 2009"

Watching Bezos gut the post is infuriating but you can’t look at national newspaper employment sliding to 15% of what it was linearly over the last 25 years and say it’s all and only billionaires.

When a whistleblower’s lawyer gives you a deadline and cites the statute, that is not posturing. That is the last stop before Congress. And they just pulled the trigger.

This cannot be accepted. This is a bullshit move to try and keep the status of the occupation basically unchanged but try and play it off as a compromise
With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.
That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.

to be clear, because I’m seeing a lot of False Lore about this, I was walking around filming ICE and police lines for an hour when I happened through this scene. the “filming faces” is the video you’re watching, not something earlier. guy just saw the phone up and freaked.
After the Pretti shooting, one of those guys straight-up suckerpunched me for “filming faces”… as I filmed him and fully-masked friends lighting fires directly in front of the dozens of gathered press crews. Nonsensical; just dudes wanting someone to give them a reason. Not that different from ICE.
