The US added only 151,000 jobs in February, lower than the forecast 170,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%. Yet again, a Republican president is blowing the strong economy he inherited from a Democrat.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

Trump is backpedaling on nearly everything—deportations, tariffs, firings, even dismantling the Dept. of Ed—after backlash. But these were his campaign promises. His chaos is no accident. Stay informed with today’s top stories.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
