Mr President, tell us how you really feel.

Yes, but still the job creation after Covid was going to be higher .. so we really should be looking at a longer chart, and remember that the President alone is not responsible for all of this ..
Love all those gubermint expansion hires during the Raisin's 4 years. NOT! But the gubermint firings during 2025 were wunderbar!

Senate Republicans blocked an attempt by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to only pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers as the Homeland Security shutdown drags on.

Despite being in the minority and not controlling the Senate floor, Schumer used an arcane tactic to force a procedural vote to allow the Senate to get onto the bill in Democrats’ move to shift the narrative of the ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown.

"It is unacceptable for workers and travelers and entire airports to get taken hostage in political games," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "But that's what the Republicans are doing. It is unacceptable to say we will only pay TSA workers if it is attached to a bill that funds ICE with no reforms, but that's what the Republicans have been doing."
