Truly, neighbors, the tRump administration's bullsh*t about the economy just keeps piling up 💩. Unemployment is rising because of the tariffs. Period. This moron of a president inherited the best economy in the world and immediately set about trying to grift off of it. #tRumpenomics suck.👎
So, if immigrants were taking your jobs, why are job numbers going down instead of poor white boys going to work those jobs immigrants were stealing?
You can't have it both ways! Either you didn't want the jobs immigrants were doing or you're the lazy ones who aren't filling the jobs left open now.

MAGA dimwit Peter Navarro accidentally admitted Trump-MAGA's claim about immigrants taking jobs is a scam. And as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes, not only is job growth down; *manufacturing* jobs are also down. The whole MAGA story is in collapse.

Muhammed Ali was so d*mn great...he was obviously one of the greatest boxers in history, but he was also a funny, witty, whip-smart man with great character. As kids, we absolutely loved him. And why the h*ll not? Stuff like this👇 - hilarious!
Charity fight between Mayor Jackson and Muhammed Ali.
“Those trunks he had saved him because he had them too high," Ali said. "He came with the trunks up to his breast, therefore I couldn’t hit him in the effective spots ‘cause he’s so big, he’s like a balloon, and if you hit him he’ll bust."

Trump claims he has the authority to impose tariffs to respond to an economic “emergency.” Is getting his feelings hurt an emergency? This shows how absurd is tariff crusade is.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

The problem with them choosing this as their primary talking point is that nearly every in Minnesota personally knows someone who has been taken by ICE. And they all had either a spotless criminal record or an entirely non-violent one.
These are lies. They are going to lose. MN will not quit.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview.
If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

We want them to stop using excessive force and violating people’s rights. Masks embolden the worst agents it gives them anonymity. Masks make it difficult to document who commits crimes and civil rights violations. They lead to more abuses. ICE wants no accountability. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Ron Johnson: "Why would they to remove their masks? Because they want these officers exposed, they want them afraid, they don't want to carry out their enforcement actions. They want judicial warrants, which would completely neuter ICE's ability to apprehend"

Again, lies. Illegals do not and never have been able to 'file for unemployment', though they pay the tax as part of their paycheck most of the time. So they are not a factor in these numbers. In fact, deportations should decrease unemployment numbers. But they won't. Because #tRumpenomics suck.🤡
