Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

To recap - Trump just fired Noem because she revealed he let her do some corruption too... replaced her with the most dimwitted obedient senator he could find... and didn't even tell her, letting her do an event here in Nashville where she was the only one who didn't know she was canned

leadership!

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire for issuing misleading and incendiary information that claimed immigration agents killed an armed Minnesota protestor Saturday because he wanted to "massacre" them.

But that language was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff and top Trump adviser, four sources tell Axios.
Why it matters: The episode illustrates the sheer power of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser whose dominion in the White House far exceeds his title.

His influence extends to de facto oversight of Noem, though she's a Cabinet secretary who technically outranks him.
"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.

It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Laken Riley’s killer is currently sitting in prison without the possibility of parole.

Alex Pretti’s killer remains hidden from the public as the Trump White House pursues a massive cover up to ensure he never faces justice.

Oh and there is no billboard. It’s an AI fake.
