A few points here:
- Over 300,000 jobs on average were created each month of Biden Presidency
- In the last 3 months of his Presidency the average was 203,000
- Only 64,000 jobs were created last month, and the unemployment rate has risen from 4 to 4.6 under Trump
This Trump thing ain't working.

Are we in a recession?
Perhaps. Maybe. Hard to tell.
The Sahm Rule focuses on the 3-month average unemployment rate, and asking if it's risen half a point above its year-long low.
The low was 4.0% in January.
The latest (average of Sept & Nov, with Oct missing): 4.5%.
That's +0.5%.

Trump told me the economy was an A+++++
BARTIROMO: What is the administration's plan to rein in the cost of food and housing?
BESSENT: People should be stressed because it's Biden inflation. We are bringing that down. I suspect we are gonna see a substantial drop in inflation in the first 6 months of next year.

Republicans don’t care about inadequate maternal care, mental health support, and general healthcare access which disproportionately affects women. This is why they are STILL debating whether to extend the subsidies that have given consumers help paying their health premiums in recent years.😑

214 Democrats signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits to make sure tens of millions of Americans don't experience skyrocketing health insurance premiums. They just need FOUR House Republicans to join them.

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

Congressional Republicans are hearing it loud and clear from their own voters: failing to extend the health care tax credits will raise costs for families.
It's past time for them to stand up for their constituents and prevent premiums from skyrocketing.

Because Congressional Republicans voted against extending the health care tax credits, families are seeing their premiums double or triple.
Now they're considering junk plans, going without coverage, or delaying starting a business.

GET LOUD, everyone! Congressional Republicans trying to strip your protections- means EVERYONE. What they will try to pass this week (pretend alternative to ACA) to strip these protections. We must pass extensions ACA tax credits - 20 million people's access to healthcare at risk. NO time left.
REMINDER OF ACA PROTECTIONS-DO NOT LET GOP STRIP THEM!

The President promised prices would go back down. In a healthy economy, they almost never do. The normal pattern is: prices jump, then over time your paycheck catches up. The pain comes when wages don't follow—then it's not “inflation” so much as an affordability crisis.

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
