I know who should be out of a job, but he's probably not reading this post... #Jobs #Data #Unemployment #Economy #TrumpEconomy
Trump doesn’t like data. He eschews facts. He wants investors and consumers — and everyone else — to be in the dark, because then he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

Trump drips with contempt at DC, having called in federal troops and torn up BLM Plaza — and now he wants their stadium named after him.

When I grew up, we had the War On Poverty. Now we wage war against the poor.
NUTRITION is the KEY to good health. There are MILLIONS of people like me with disabilities & chronic illness that DEPEND on SNAP. The stress of worrying about are we getting our benefits or are we not, is troublesome alone. This Administration between cutting 1T from Medicaid & now this, is DEADLY!
"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

The worst part about Bernie's absolutely atrocious immigration statements is that his father, like my grandparents, WAS AN IMMIGRANT who came here BEFORE modern immigration law. Hell, even then, my grandfather had to wait to get naturalized because he was listed as a member of the "Hebrew" Race.

I can remember when we sent men to the moon. How fall we’ve fallen.
Asked for comment on these events, Mike Johnson said he was not aware of any of it
Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

I guess the mad king had a bad few days of getting smacked around by escalators, comedians, the law, and his own dementia so he's going to punish us with new taxes on sofas. Vance is probably speeding to IKEA with a box truck.

A bitter pill to swallow with my Cafe Verona this morning. #Starbucks #Coffee I didn’t know about the job cuts.
Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

I know many feds -- all work for the public good at jobs that are too often thankless.
They certainly don't scream for headlines or go on unhinged rants. And they sure as heck don't hurt others to enhance their bottom line. #DOGE #CDC #ElonMust

BREAKING: A new Senate report claims DOGE put every American's Social Security number at risk.
It found that Russia, China, and Iran are likely aware of the breachable cloud system DOGE set up.
Worst case scenario? The agency would need to reissue SSNs to EVERYONE.
Great 🙃
