Trump’s cowardly firing of the Commissioner of BLS is banana republic stuff.

Firing the messenger cannot change the message: Trump and GOP are seriously screwing up the economy.

Trump won’t be able to gaslight these issues. Voters know if they have jobs and what things cost.

THE WORST ECONOMIC JOBS REPORT SINCE THE END OF THE PANDEMIC.

Trump and Republicans are seriously screwing up the economy.

Contributor: AI isn't just standing by. It's doing things — without guardrails Congress needs to catch up to the industry to ensure safeguards are in place as AI agents become more common and powerful.
