The long-delayed Sept jobs report is out and it confirms the economic anxiety people are feeling. “If we have this slowing growth, rising unemployment & creeping higher prices, that’s not a good place for the U.S. economy,” says @calebsilver.bsky.social alongside @justinwolfers.bsky.social #Velshi
This is Trump’s economy. And the new data is ‘not telling a really good story’
The delayed September jobs report shows a slowing labor market – with Black women suffering most from the Trump administration policies. But persistent inflation has been costing everyone and Chief Business Editor for People Inc., Caleb Silver argues that rising prices combined with slowing growth and sluggish hiring has the U.S. economy facing “stagflation.” Trump’s tariff regime has in part been responsible for the hiked cost of living, with the president claiming it’ll revive U.S. factory jobs. Economist Justin Wolfers asks if we even want a manufacturing renaissance, saying factory workers he’s spoken with say those jobs were meant to be a pathway to the middle class.

Rep. Houlahan: “The President of the United States called for the death of six members of Congress."
President Trump called for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers, after they released a video urging U.S. military service members to “refuse illegal orders.” Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, who grew up in a military family, says her father taught her that unlawful orders must always be questioned. Trump’s unhinged reaction is “exactly the reason why, frankly, many of us put out this video.”
