It is hard to believe anything from the BLS anymore. This is the result of politizing supposedly independent government agencies. Apparently the federal reserve is next.

Since Trump is banning transgender people from the military, I guess the next time there is a draft, if you don't want to serve, all you have to say is that you're transgender.

Tariffs are a hidden tax on consumers. We should see what we're paying to the government for products we buy just like the sales tax that already visible.

I keep hearing about the rule of law? The only rule of law in this country is that if you are poor, you are at the mercy of the law. If you are rich, you control the law. So sad!!

I hope someone is doing some price tracking to monitor the affects of tariffs.

I guess Trump was also being a "bit sarcastic" about bringing prices down.

The Supreme Court is to blame for the mess this country is in. How do we hold them accountable?

Chuck Schumer is no Mitch McConnell, that's for sure. Democrats need a leader that presents and advocates a plan for the future of America that lifts all Americans.

So tariffs bring in more money for the government and raise prices on goods that I buy. How does this help me?

If you don't like billionaires messing in your government, don't buy their stuff! They only understand money.

At Trump speech tonight, democrats should bring small signs that they can show to contrast his talking points. They wouldn't have to say a word. Press would show the signs and their protest would be civil and not disruptive but get their points across.

It seems like the Republican Party has turned into the Communist Party. Same values, same game plan. Call it like it is.

Trump wants an "immediate ceasefire" in Ukraine. Have him call his buddy Putin to quit fighting and go home and I'm sure Ukraine will be inclined to stop fighting.

We should be thanking Ukraine for fighting a war against Russian aggression where we only have to sacrifice some money and not our lives.

Tesla down another 3% today. We can do better. The only way to deal with billionaires is to not buy stuff from them. Support local businesses. They are good for America.

One way that our government starts working for the people again is when Americans on both sides get mad enough to start working together to fix our government. One side is not able to do it. Another option is the rise of a third party that brokers change. The two party system is not working for us.

Why doesn't Musk slash his government subsidies in DOGE? Certainly he doesn't need the money and it could save the government billions. Oh, it's only the poor that get cuts, I get it!

Remember when Fox called themselves "fair and balanced." There needs to be a media outlet that on its own surpasses Fox in viewership that actually is fair and balanced. One that will at least neutralize that biased outlet.

Since Trump is going to charge 5 million for gold immigrant cards, I wonder if he'll give a 5 million gold emigrant card that I can use.

Maybe the world can drive Tesla into bankruptcy. It would indicate that people don't want billionaires in their politics anywhere in the world.
