I'm no longer going to be at Twitter, so I decided to start new here at Bluesky. I'm hoping to reconnect with my old followers who moved here from the other place and to engage with new like-minded people.
Anyone with common sense knew Criminal Donald Trump and his henchmen would destroy the economy if they were allowed to be in charge again....and here we are.
The August jobs report has economists alarmed. Here are their 3 top takeaways.
Employers added far fewer jobs last month than economists had predicted, prompting some experts to reassess the economy.

The job of Faux News and the entire right wing media is to prop up Donald Trump. It's just like North Korean state run media.
MAGA Media’s praise for Trump’s disastrous meeting with Putin shows it’s about propping up Trump and spinning his failures—no matter what.

This could end up very badly given what we know of Rules on Use of Force (RUF) for Guard in DC. And very different training regimens compared to local police.

Wall Street Journal reporting:

"National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. are preparing to carry weapons in the coming days."
Exclusive | National Guard Soldiers Prepare to Carry Weapons in Washington, D.C.
The shift comes after defense officials said the soldiers deployed to the capital wouldn’t be armed.

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both.

Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!

We all knew job reports under this criminal would be a total disaster and it's typical for Trump to conceal the truth of his failures.

A successful president like Joe Biden welcomed job reports because it showcased his great achievement of being the greatest jobs president in history.
The Trump administration is floating ending monthly job reports because they’re so fucking bad right now.

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law thanks to the perseverance of civil rights activists.

Today, our sacred right to vote remains under attack. We must protect our democracy and honor those who risked everything by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Trump wants a stooge to take over as BLS commissioner so he can push phony job numbers.

Only 73,000 jobs in July.

Previous job number reports were revised downward.

Unemployment and inflation is up.

Trump is a failure and the worst jobs "president" in history!
