Layoffs in 2025 have reached levels comparable to recessionary periods, with over 1.1 million job cuts announced by November, the highest year-to-date total since the 2020 pandemic and exceeding figures seen during the Great Recession (2009) for the same period.

A nice rally this morning outside Ashley Hinson’s Cedar Rapids office with Iowa’s next United States Senator Zach Wahls —
Iowans are demanding that Ashley Hinson protect our access to affordable healthcare not her corp donors. Hinson has repeatedly voted to slash funding and put the ACA at risk.

Cruelty — 42 million Americans use SNAP benefits and won’t receive them in November. That’s about 1 in 8 receiving SNAP benefits. Of course, there is money for extravagant things for #QueenCruel Kristi Noem. It’s all about priorities and if you give a shit about human beings. A lot of people don’t.
