The Sahm Rule is flashing red, and the unemployment rate is rising.
What does this mean?
- For sure the economy is in a MALAISE. (Close to no job growth since Liberation Day.)
- I reckon it's in a jobless SLUMP.
- It may be in or on the cusp of a RECESSION.

Fascinating hell. It's like a Jimmy Kimmel monologue, an SNL cold open, a John Stewart commentary, and a South Park Trump beatdown all wrapped up with a bow. 😆😅🤣😂
Remember when Trump supporters thought tariffs would be good for them? 🍗📦 Now they’re mad their DHL bill looks like a cryptic crypto scam invoice.

Oh, Jimmy. The problem is that the UK (and the EU, and the rest of the world) gave us four years to purge the toxins of that rotting lump of shit from our system ... and we went ahead and re-elected him anyway. So no one trusts us. And, quite frankly, they have that right given our actions. 😪

When the president targeted me and my TV show, millions said no. So don’t give up on us – and always remember, we’re not all like him, says US talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel
