We are having the worst year of job growth since we were clawing our way out of the Great Recession? The vast majority of job growth YTD came in Q1 before Trump implemented his economic agenda. So much winning!

Incase you all missed it, it has been a very bleak week on the economy front.
1. Weekly new unemployment claims up
2. Job openings down to a level not seen since Covid
3. ADP payroll showed anemic job growth

The feds favorite inflation gauge ticked up again in August. It came in at .3%, which is 3x as high as last year. The current 3-month average puts us on a trajectory of over 3.5% annually.
Experts estimate that only a small fraction of tariffs have made their way through the system at this point.

You can't claim to be a country of "Law and Order" when you have a convicted felon president who openly solicits and accepts BRIBES.

Objectively, I can’t think of a more unamerican president - pro domestic terrorism, anti free speech, anti due process, anti constitution, and an autocrat. I would go as far as to say that if you voted for him in 2024 you are a traitor… you chose a man over the country.

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles
I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Democracy in Decline!!
The 2024 Democracy Index reveals a global drop in democratic standards — falling to its lowest score since 2006
👉🏼Only 45% of the world lives in a democracy, while 39% are under authoritarian rule and 15% in hybrid regimes.
👉🏼The U.S. is #28, which I think is generous!

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.
