I do not know if readers are keeping up with the news on employment or not. So, I decided to go back to December and grab one of Dean Baker’s commentaries on Manufacturing Jobs lost during Trump’s first year. Since the beginning of 2025, the economy has been losing jobs, This was not just in […]
A piece by Robert Reich is posted earlier today. Robert reports on Minnesota’s reaction to ICE’s efforts in Minneapolis to take control. ICE aggression and harassment of the citizenry is not going over well. People are angry and are pushing back. The citizenry are calling for a shutdown of the state. Given the nature and […]
“Leaders realize they will not be able to ‘manage’ Trump for the remainder of his term. Reckoning with the fact that the systems of international order that the US helped craft are crumbling as a result” of his controlling personality. “Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney,” Davos Switzerland The full text of a speech by the […]
Another place I subscribe to is “Kareem Takes on the News.” I can always find an interesting opinion being offered up by the former college and professional basketball player. Who would have thought such? Today or this day (older commentary) Kareem is discussing how “white people were badly treated.” Such mistreatment is being presented and […]

I had thought it might be good to take a look at the impact of the shutdown. Just a one-time BLS report and no opinion on the impact by me . . . other than it being harmful to Labor. Brief BLS Summary: US import prices increased 0.4% over the two months through November 2025, […]
Coming by way of Sarah Burris at AlterNet, etc. It was not that long ago when Kavanaugh penned an opinion giving more leeway to immigration agents. His claim for doing so was “they rarely take American citizens into custody. If such were to occur by mistake a citizen is taken, they are released very quickly.” […]
A reputable source of information to read and determine for yourself what took place. I subscribe to Letters from an American. I find Prof. Heather to be accurate and forthcoming in her articles depicting what is happening in the United States today. The story is quite different tah what is being broadcast. Indeed, it is […]
I get the feeling the investigation is going to go on forever and the public may never have a complete story about the shooting. For sure she was not shot from the front. More likely than not, it came from the side and close to behind Renee. Trump Officials Lie After Killing of Protester Renee […]
