Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

What does care, she’s a millionaire so screw you Mainers.
Susan Collins refused to extend the ACA tax credits, and now, costs are soaring, and thousands of Maine people have dropped their health insurance.

Once again, she failed to act when it mattered most, and it's Maine people who are left to pay the price.

People are evil. Republicans are evil.
Read it all please.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Evil.
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

Trumps rigging the elections.
Republicans are on the brink of an internal clash over the SAVE Act, a high priority for President Trump that would overhaul election laws nationwide and require proof of citizenship to vote.
Republicans clash over the Senate filibuster and Trump-backed voter ID bill
Some SAVE Act backers insist that the GOP can use a "talking filibuster" to tire out Democrats and pass it. Majority Leader Thune hasn't ruled out trying, but he's skeptical it could work.

The U.S. has failed itself
The history they told you in school was a lie,
so now you are experiencing its consequences
You are all immigrants unless you are N.A.
Your ancestors came & destroyed 2 continents,
and greed corporations will kill the rest of Mother Earth
RISE UP or be its destruction

It’s good that we have honest loyal Americans. But be vigilant, Trump, Miller and the evil Republican Party is gunning for you!

The worse part is that they (CBP) cover it up. We truly have no ideal the enormity of the crime committed by CBP. It could be thousands of immigrants murdered. Who are the family of the dead going to call?
This atrocity is as bad as Trump’s & Epstein rape of children.
We are rotten to the core!
CBP agents commit crimes at a greater per-capita rate than undocumented immigrants, and that was BEFORE all the recent hires.

In light of that, who could be surprised at what we've all seen happen before our very eyes when you can employ convicted, then pardoned Jan 6th rioters as law enforcement.

Exactly, what up is now down and vise versa. It’s it wonderful having republicans in-charge! Nazi Germany 1930!
This week I watched a screening of the new documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin, about how the Russian state has transformed schools into indoctrination centres over the past four years.

The most disturbing part for me was knowing that the 🇺🇸regime is starting to make the same efforts.

Andrea Lucas, Trump’s appointment to the E.E.O.C, has made D.E.I. Programs a priority. Amazing how a woman that benefited by these programs is in-charge to destroy them. How nice, obviously she come a wealthy family that can buy her positions.
