“Numbers Always Tend To Benefit The Left”*

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes. pic.twitter.com/j8Qdxo8je4

Trump’s chief economic advisor Kevin Hassett on @CNBC just praised “all native-born workers” getting jobs.

Trump's made similar statements.

To the tens of millions of foreign-born Americans, the message is clear: in this admin’s eyes, you’re not American.

Mikie Sherrill on Lara Trump’s claim that prices are coming down: I think in New Jersey we’d call that a barrage of shit.

But I’ll tell you what’s going on here with tariffs. Chuck, a coffee shop owner, was telling me that a big burlap sack of beans that used to cost $2.50 now… pic.twitter.com/c2k3I8sQQe

But I’ll tell you what’s going on here with tariffs. Chuck, a coffee shop owner, was telling me that a big burlap sack of beans that used to cost $2.50 now costs $7 — and as he put it, that’s because Trump got into some fight with the Brazilian president. So now he’s going to have to raise prices on everyone.

Prices are not going down. In fact, we’re seeing them go up everywhere, and I think that trend is only going to continue. The jobs numbers have been bad. We lost about 10,000 jobs in New Jersey. And we’re a really resilient economy — so if that’s happening here, I can only imagine what it looks like in the rest of the country.
