POST-ELECTION ECONOMIC NEWS:

ADP's latest private-sector jobs report was released this morning, and the numbers help explain why voters are so worried about the economy and why they went so heavily Democratic last night.

Job growth has collapsed under Trump's tariffs.

Americans are paying higher prices on food, gas, and more. Trump is building a gilded ballroom. Is this America first?
A graphic displaying a bar and line graph titled "HEADLINE INFLATION RATE, YEAR OVER YEAR" from January to September 2025. The title reads: "NEW DATA: Inflation rising for six months in a row as Trump declares, “Inflation? I’ve already taken care of it.”" The line shows inflation dropping from 3.0% in January to a low of approximately 2.2% in April. The bar chart shows inflation then rising continuously from April to September, reaching 3.0% again. The bar for September is the tallest, shown in red, indicating a sustained increase. A yellow marker highlights "LIBERATION DAY TARIFFS (APRIL 2)" at the low point. A photo of Donald Trump pointing is superimposed over the graph. The source is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

JOB MARKET HURTING UNDER TRUMP

Today's private-sector jobs report from ADP is the latest evidence of a major Trump slowdown in job growth.

We can now compare the first 8 months of Trump with the final 8 months of Biden, and private-sector job growth is down 72% under Trump.

My main point is social media algorithms do not have your best interests in mind.

They do not want you to be informed. They want you to be provoked

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

"...influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests." 🤔

I have some stunning news to tell JD about his boss.

No one could make a profitable Gab. However, someone *could* buy and degrade Twitter down into a profitable Gab. Genius business plan.
