Long-term unemployment—when someone is unemployed for six months or more—is nearly DOUBLE what it was only two years ago. Between this news, rising overall unemployment, weak job growth, and soaring inflation, it’s clear that Trump’s economic policies are failing Americans.
Screenshot of a Washington Post article with the headline: Long-term unemployment at post-pandemic high, straining workers and economy.

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

The guy was a registered Republican evangelical and his best friend has said he was a Trump supporter who watched InfoWars. He was traveling around with a list of MORE Democrats he wanted to kill. MAGA: “See, we told you he was a Walz-loving Lib.” Are you fucking kidding me?

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

If you’re more interested in making money on what you say happened in the last presidential election than you are in reporting on the blatant presidential corruption that’s been happening SINCE the election, you are not a journalist. You are an asshole. And you’re complicit.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

If someone asked President Biden if he had to uphold the Constitution, and his answer was "I don't know," he would have been removed from office immediately. Stop letting dementia trump get away with trashing the fucking Constitution.

I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.
