The good news is that the collapse in Help Wanted ad postings under Donald Trump is not unprecedented.
The bad news is that it was slightly worse under COVID.

Read the whole article. This is so fucked up. Especially this line:
“Trump-administration attorneys told the court to dismiss the request on multiple grounds, including that Trump’s ‘primacy in foreign affairs’ outweighs the interests of Abrego Garcia and his family.”

Trump's ICE / Stasi admit to a court that they deported someone to an El Salvador gulag due to an "administrative error"
Now the Trump DOJ's response to his family – who is suing to get him back *because he wasn't allowed to be deported* – is "get fucked"

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important.
He should be fired immediately.

2017: So livid is then-Rep Todd Rokita that he co-sponsors Matt Gaetz's HRes477, a blistering demand for a special counsel for Hillary Clinton's "mishandling of classified data and use of an unauthorized email server."
Like much of Todd, his position on secure data has softened since then.
