A revealing chart about job growth since January 2025. Job creation is currently being driven by the healthcare sector. Outside of that sector, we've been losing jobs. Almost all of the 130,000 new jobs added in January 2026 were healthcare jobs.

So much much wrong with Bondi’s view that rising stocks should make us move on from Epstein’s crimes. But it’s worth noting that over half the market’s returns came from these seven companies: NVIDIA, Alphabet, Microsoft, Broadcom, JPMorgan Chase, Palantir & Meta. Who is REALLY benefiting from this?
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
