Trump declared last night: "One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead." Actually 1 year ago unemployment was 4.0%. Today it's 4.6%. One year ago consumer confidence was high. Today lowest in 4 years. Last year monthly job creation averaged 168,000. Today 17,000 per month.

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.

HHS canceled grants previously awarded to AAP — in what certainly looks like a retaliatory act.

American Academy of Pediatrics loses HHS funding after criticizing RFK Jr.
HHS cuts key AAP grants, citing concerns about “identity-based language” and insufficient focus on agency priorities. The organization said the cuts could harm child health.

Great question. The answer? Because Putin is Trump’s boss, so if Trump seized a Russian oil tanker, his boss would be really, really angry.

This is the modern American corruption.
Under Trump, the SEC has eased up on more than 60% of the crypto cases that were ongoing when he took office in January.

Many of the firms that benefited from the leniency had financial ties to the Trump family.

The SEC is no longer pursuing any cases against crypto firms with Trump ties.

So many workers like Thomas are one medical crisis away from financial ruin. Our lawmakers should be fighting to make healthcare more affordable and accessible - instead, they just ended the Affordable Care Act subsidies that help millions get the care they need. bsky.app/profile/aft....

WATCH: Adjunct faculty typically aren’t offered employer-sponsored health insurance, leaving many to rely on the Affordable Care Act for coverage. With subsidies set to end, professor Thomas Moomjy & others may face sharply higher premiums - or be forced to go without.

What sad and awful times we live in. Clueless and unserious people are making consequential policy that affects children.
Poor children
Hungry children
Children who need emotional stability
Children who need intellectual stimulation
CHILDREN!
Head Start needs to avoid nearly 200 words in their funding applications, like:

accessible
belong
Black
disability
female
minority
trauma
tribal
women

That list came from HHS.

Humans make families.

Telling programs that serve them to not describe them as such is dishonest and cruel.

“All the Empty Rooms” is a powerful documentary that follows CBS News’ Steve Hartman as he memorialized the bedrooms of children killed in school shootings.
