JUST IN: Nearly a million fewer jobs were created between April 2024 and March 2025 than previously reported. https://trib.al/5FN0KA5

Annual revisions are normal, but this one is pretty significant: it’s the largest since the 2008 Recession.

Read this today- Retired Army Brig. Gen. Ty Seidule, who was the vice chair of the commission, said Trump is "overturning the will of the American people through their elected representatives who set up the Naming Commission," which selected "true American heroes who fought for our great nation and reflect the best of our values."
The retired one-star general, who is the former head of the history department at the United States Military Academy at West Point, said Confederate soldiers "chose treason to preserve and expand human bondage. They represent the worst of America."

DHS announced a new ICE operation targeting Chicago on Monday, days after President Trump likened his assault on the city to the Vietnam War. https://theintercept.com/2025/09/08/trump-chicago-ice-dhs-apocalypse-now

“Weeks after Trump filed a $10 billion defamation suit against The Wall Street Journal for reporting on the birthday card, lawmakers published a photo of a sketch that matches WSJ's description.” https://people.com/trump-birthday-doodle-to-epstein-released-congress-11805883

Latest update from National Guard on Washington, DC deployment and beautification effort

"Guardsmen have cleared 906 bags of trash, spread 744 cubic yards of mulch, removed five truckloads of plant waste, cleared 3.2 miles of roadway, and painted 270 feet of fencing"

It's 2026 and the last American employed in manufacturing is laid off by his AI supervisor and begins the long walk home. Since the word "Depression" was banned by Presidential decree, economists are now writing of the "Great Compression" of 2026. And it's a fitting name since we're all suffering under the big squeeze. But fear not! What's left of President Trump--referred to as the Almighty by his fans and "The big orange bag of shit" by everyone else--is now selling edible TrumpCoins so no one need starve to death. In fact only 85% of Americans need food assistance, so things could be worse. And based on the past year, "worse" is on its way.

Other kids at the playground here in the US wanted my pre-schooler to be the 'bad guy' so they could shoot their pretend guns at him. Ha. Nope.

My kiddo doesn't play any 'shooting' games, and 'bad guys' are just pretend - there are just people who make bad decisions sometimes though (we'll teach him about IRL bad guys later).

The parents of the other kid? Totally encouraged it all and stood in when my kiddo wouldn't play.

Gun culture is a cancer.

Threatening to napalm Chicago is an unorthodox strategy for earning a Nobel Peace Prize

@littlemiao in my experience, reading more books is always the solution.
