Republicans Slam Trump’s Firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics Chief

THE GUARDIAN: President claimed that recently released figures showing jobs slowdown were ‘rigged’ to make him look bad

Senior Republican lawmakers are condemning the decision of their party leader, Donald Trump, to fire the leading US labor market statistician after a report that showed the national economy added just 73,000 jobs – far fewer than expected – in July.

The disappointing figures – coupled with a downward revision of the two previous months amounting to 258,000 fewer jobs and data showing that economic output and consumer spending slowed in the first half of the year – point to an overall economic deterioration in the US. » | Edward Helmore | Saturday, August 2, 2025

The US jobs market is slowing down because of Trump’s own mismanagement. It’s as simple as that! Trump has created great uncertainty in the economy. Uncertainty is poison for a flourishing economy. So the buck stops with Trump himself. – © Mark Alexander

"Most Massive Transfer of Wealth Upward in American History": John Nichols on Trump's Budget Law

July 7, 2025 | President Donald Trump and his allies are celebrating the passage of his sweeping tax and spending bill, which he signed into law on July 4 after a monthslong effort to shepherd it through Congress. Ultimately, just three Republicans in the Senate and two in the House voted against the legislation. The so-called Big, Beautiful Bill includes about $1 trillion in federal cuts to Medicaid and could kick 17 million people off their healthcare. It makes the largest-ever cuts to food assistance benefits, could cause the closure of nursing homes and rural hospitals across the country, raises housing and energy costs, and supercharges the Trump crackdown on immigrants — all while delivering massive tax benefits for the wealthiest people in the country


Trump and his Republican henchmen are as crooked and corrupt as they are shameless. What a SHITTY, cruel country America has turned out to be! Why people look up to that SHITHOLE as the non plus ultra is totally beyond my comprehension. – © Mark Alexander

The Lincoln Project: Message

Dec 12, 2024 | A message for Republican Senators: Trump's agenda will fleece your constituents, while lining the pockets of his billionaire buddies. If you vote for Trump's policies, the fallout will follow you to your graves. We'll make sure of it.


Under Trump Mk2, we will witness the USA being turned into a full-on plutocracy. Trump is the mega-billionaires' fool. And they’ll play him like one, too. We will soon witness the superrich getting richer and richer, and the impoverishment of ordinary Americans. How the American electorate could have fallen for this undemocratic cr** is beyond my comprehension. Moreover, if I am not greatly mistaken, after Trump, America will never be the same again.

By the way, when it comes to economics, Trump is clueless. Trump thinks that Wall Street rising and rising is indicative of the economy burgeoning and booming This is nonsense. Wall Street is like a casino. It is perfectly possible for the superrich to be making gazillions for themselves on the stock market even when the economy is faltering, even when the workers and middle class are struggling to survive.

We can look forward to a rough ride. – © Mark Alexander

Thom Hartmann Programm : Inside Billionaires' Brazen Attempt at Fascism

Nov 5, 2024 | This is not how a democracy is supposed to work. The “demos” in democracy means “the people.” Democracies are supposed to fulfill the will of the people; add the protections for minority groups a republic provides and you have what the Founders called “republican democracy” and we refer to as a democratic republic.
