Real wages are falling, and have been falling for months.

Line chart titled "Inflation adjusted hourly wages are falling" shows real hourly wages for private sector workers in January 2025 dollars from March 2024 to September 2026. Real wages climbed from $35.38 in March 2024 to a peak of $36.30 in November 2025, then fell to $35.86 by September 2026, eroding most of the inflation-adjusted gains workers had achieved over the prior 20 months.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?
