The Unofficial Jobs Numbers Are In and It’s Rough Out There

In a federal data blackout, Wall Street numbers and surveys are filling the void, and the nongovernment numbers are telling the same basic story: Few companies are hiring.

Today, the idea of Trump supporting the Equality Act, which would bar discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in major areas of public life, seems far-fetched.

But 25 years ago — even 10 years ago — Trump’s name was hardly synonymous with homophobia or transphobia.

Was Trump always against LGBTQ+ rights? Everything in his past says no.

The president’s previous support is at odds with his anti-trans hostility now. What’s behind the shift?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about her support for President Trump, while adding that she's not a "blind slave to the president" and that she's "elected by her district."

Good point. There are always two sides to everything: To smear Dems and to benefit his quid pro quo-ers. And both depend on his ability to squeeze cash out of the millionaires as he does it.

The Block family could fully fund the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette if they wanted to. Indeed, meeting the demands of the striking workers would be cheaper than replacing them and retaining a union-busting firm.

In Pittsburgh, one newsroom has been on strike for more than two years. Something has to give. Will it be the workers?

FACT - The insurrection must be completed by October 31. And the $4.3 trillion money move to pay back oligarchy backers in the big bitch of a bill. People can’t grasp it. It allows the GOP to blame Dems for $163 million back in the budget😡for healthcare It’s corrupt watch the $$ disappear.

It’s almost as if he is expecting an “incident” that will require a “crackdown.” My question is Why now? The November election? Why not save this stupid move for the next presidential election?

We are now in an official Police State. American Nazis have authorized National Guard troops to protect ICE facilities in Portland/Chicago, from "violent" protests.

States have cited violations of the Posse Comitatus Act as Texas sends 400 Guard units anyway.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) that generally prohibits the use of the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement purposes. The law was enacted in 1878 to limit federal military interference in civilian affairs.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Washington stands with Illinois, Oregon, and every other state under invasion by this illegal regime. ✊

MAGAs are not Americans: they are terrorists and domestic enemies of the United States.

And all those Texas NG who accepted deployments against American cities are domestic enemies, too.
