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"

Our analysis in this paper shows that immigrants generated a fiscal surplus of about $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023, that the average immigrant is much less costly than the average US-born American,...

Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen. She had no weapon or criminal record, and a CBP officer still shot her five times.
That same officer then bragged about his horrific actions in a group chat.
It's disgusting, and it's shameful. He must be held accountable.

We are now facing the largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States over a quarter-century ago.
The science is clear: vaccines are the best way to protect against measles. The NIH Director admits it. Why won’t RFK, Jr.?

And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.
