Drip, drip, drip…wake up Americans!
The job market continues to slow, and it's pretty dramatic. Keeping our head above water (for now).
August jobs growth was only +22k. July revised up +6k to +79k. June was revised down by -27k to -13k. Average jobs growth over the three months = +29k.
Unemployment rose a tick to 4.3%

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period.
A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

Trump has weaponized us against each other
McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.
It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.
