United States Unemployment Rate Unemployment Rate in the United States increased to 4.40 percent in September from 4.30 percent in August of 2025. This page provides the latest reported value for - United States Unemployment Rate - ...

US unemployment is currently 4.4%, not 6.3%. I think these are not, in fact, facts. tradingeconomics.com/united-state...

We've been there many times. They do have an AirBnB type lodge beside the wolf enclosure. This particular video could be AI, but the attraction is real.

I believe that this is not accurate. There were xx transfers made - in total. Trump not involved. Please provide source or remove.

I'm skeptical about this story.

Abolish is too polite a word. There are others.

Miller, Abbot, Trump - I'm in Canada and I can still smell their fear.

All of this just boosts Mamdani :-) I imagine New Yorkers would rather move to Hell than Texas..

I'm in Canada, distant from the front lines of this, but I hope that shit is about to get real. This won't end the way they plan.

I don't believe this is factual. Can you provide a source?

As a Canadian, I refuse to believe that this is real. This is beyond insane.

Nice demonstration of the Streisand Effect.

I think it will be more fun for the next president to turn it into a national museum celebrating the historical contributions of immigrants to the USA.

How Russian operatives covertly hired U.S. influencers to create viral videos Details in an indictment match Nashville-based Tenet Media, which offered lucrative paychecks to prominent right-wing influencers. The influencers say they were deceived.

I hope SF hotels accept rubles to pay the bill.

Overnight my subconscious tried to cheer me up by showing me a newscast from the near future. The newscaster said that the Museum of American Diversity (formerly the WH ballroom) would be hosting a gala event to mark MLK day. As always, the public was invited.

This is simple.
Approach the TX National Guard politely.
Point at a nearby luxury shuttle bus.
Say "You don't want to be here. We don't want you here.
Please get on that bus and go home. The food will be great on the trip, promise. Wifi to call your fam.
Our lawyers will keep you safe."

The Texas NG doesn't want to be in Chicago. But they are.
Be nice to them, give them a gathering point to walk away. catch a charter bus home compliments of Chicago.
For the ones who remain, they don't deserve nice.

As long as Homan passed Trump's cut 'up the line', he's covered.
