I work for a manufacturing company. We were all getting steak dinners and really nice quarterly bonuses the past 3-4 years....until 2Q of this year when tariffs hit. Now, we've had mass layoffs, sales are way down, and everyone is afraid of losing their jobs next.
Biden brought American manufacturing back but Trump is strangling it once again
The US continues to lose manufacturing jobs—payrolls are down 81k over the last year, & another 5k jobs were lost in November
Transportation (especially auto manufacturing), wood & electronics/electrical manufacturing are the biggest losers, but few subsectors are doing well

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

National political reporters: consult your gaming desk.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10%
$1200 can be life or death at that level of income
top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"

If RFK Jr. will not resign, he must be impeached and removed, for the sake of the nation's health and safety.
Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans.

Kevin Stitt has spend this entire legislative session vetoing good bills with positive impacts on the lives of Oklahomans written and passed by a majority of his own party because he's an asshole who hates the fact that he's not the dictator of the state.
I fucking hate that man.

At a time when homelessness and cost burdens are rising in #Oklahoma, supporters of SB 128 & SB 333 are pushing back on Gov. Kevin Stitt's claims that the measures, respectively, would place undue burdens on property owners and interfere with private industry.
