Declines in labor force participation & employment-to-population ratio further underscore cooling #economy
Increases in unemployment, underemployment & discouraged workers a major concern

Price hikes for gasoline & groceries could reach shoppers within days in aftermath of tariffs imposed by Donny Trump.
Products like auto fuel & fresh produce will be hit with near-instant price increases, while others like cars, laptops & children’s toys will show hikes in the coming weeks & months.

Donny Trump to address Congress as trade war erupts & US pauses Ukraine aid by aligning with Russia‘s Putin.

#Trump is an idiot
Trump is a criminal

Today, Trump showed the world that he cannot possibly play a serious role in any international negotiations.
#Trump is simply an ignorant idiot.
And JD Vance is useless
Embarrassed be an American with Putin's bitch as U.S. President.
Congratulations to Zelensky for exposing that clown!
