Today's jobs report shows what many Americans already knew: despite record highs in the stock market, the “economy” is not working for ordinary people.

This is what authoritarians do.
Breaking News: President Trump moved to fire the official in charge of jobs data, claiming, without evidence, that labor numbers were being “manipulated.”

On Trump’s order, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans are hijacking a special session that should be focused on flood victims so they can ram through a gerrymandering scheme.

This is a clear political ploy to hold Congress in 2026.
