Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

Who’s Trump going to fire now?
Only 22,000 jobs added in August and unemployment rises to 4.3%.
This isn’t just a “jobs slump.” It’s the start of a long-term unemployment crisis. More job seekers than openings means people are getting locked out of the economy.
