How's that going? As someone who runs a small fabrication shop, I'm definitely not hiring additional employees right now. Business sucks under Trump. We've actually reduced our headcount slightly.
President Donald Trump promised voters in 2024 that if they returned him to the White House, his policies would deliver a blue-collar jobs boom.

I love North Carolina. And I know you do too. We have a long road ahead of us, but I believe we can win this—together. Thank you for being on the team.

This is absolutely disgusting and horrifying. Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. Can Congress come to their senses and impeach this fool already?
This should really be all anyone needs to know. He only cares about giant corporations and the oligarchs that fund him.
Everyone else? Good luck.

And there it is. Senator Cory Booker makes history-- the longest standing filibuster in US history at 24 hours 19 minutes and counting.
Good trouble.

Chapel Bill: six-time Super-Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach at North Carolina, sources tell me, @PeteThamel and @ClowESPN.
Belichick is going back to school, to where his father served as an assistant coach in the 1950s.

These cabinet picks are certainly something. I wonder if this is what people who voted for him expected. I can't imagine someone thinking this cabinet with this president is a good idea. I was about to say "what's next" but I couldn't come up with anyone worse than who he's already appointed.
