Trump's Second Term

But it's still Biden's economy!

Layoffs reach highest level since 2020, new data shows. Here's why companies are cutting jobs.

Companies have reported more than 744,000 job cuts this year — the highest figure since the first six months of 2020, according to an outplacement firm.

Layoffs across the U.S. this year have climbed to their highest level since the pandemic slammed the economy in 2020, new labor data shows.

In the first half of 2025, companies announced 744,308 job cuts nationwide, the highest tally since the first six months of 2020, when employers cut nearly 1.6 million jobs in response to COVID-related disruptions, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Federal agencies have been particularly hard hit this year amid a push by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to slash costs. Other sectors shedding a large number of workers include retail, technology, media and non-profit organizations.

Microsoft on Wednesday announced it would cut just under 4% of its workforce, or roughly 9,000 employees, in what is a second major round of layoffs this year for the profitable tech giant.

While the economy remains solid by most measures, economists warn that growth could cool in the coming months as the effects of the Trump administration's tariff policies take hold.

I keep asking maga weirdoes in the MSN forums where I can go to get paid for protesting, but no one yet has given me an answer...

They stick with that line of crap -- not because they really believe it -- but because they want to avoid dealing with the reality of the protests. Is there any justification for referring to trump as a wannabe king? Why are people accusing him of that? What are the issues involved?

The magamutts don't want to touch any of that with the proverbial ten-foot pole. For me, they're scarier than the jerk they worship.

Wait until the boogaloo "bois" show up.

They did a lot of that crap during the BLM protest.

If you don't believe me, lookup Ivan Harrison Hunter.

They don't even need that, the trumpkins believe whole cities burned down in 2020 without any evidence. The protests can go down 100% peacefully and if far-right media says they were violent, the cult will believe it.

Facts are irrelevant. They will 'believe' anything that bolsters their narrative, even if they have to make it up. This has been the MO of cults since forever.

She’s the one that recruited me. Passed last year right before the election at age 93. She went to protests and rallies from workers’ rights to WWII to Rosenbergs to civil rights to Vietnam to women’s liberation to Central America to anti-apartheid to Iraq to Palestine (and many more antifa causes I am forgetting.) I was glad she did not have to bear the pain of being alive during the outrage of this administration but today at the 50501 protest she was right beside me.
 
As someone has said, Democrats try to win Politics by winning the Culture War, and Republicans try to win the Culture War by winning Politics.

Trump &co. think that political power will be enough to force everyone in line or have them arrested/deported.

Trump commuted the fraud sentence of former GOP congressman and sociopathic liar George Santos. Kidnap US citizens and pardon crooks. The party of law and order.

And the reasoning Trump gave was because Santos supported Trump

. Sadly, it's easier to shift the Overton window from a position of power. Which is one reason why those pushing ideological purity or nothing are onto a loser, just helping those they're supposed to be against.

Trump's response to the No Kings protest has been to post on Truth Social AI generated images and film of him wearing crowns and referring to himself as "King Trump".

Wish they'd put some effort into their humor. It's always just crude and vulgar, and it's always giving 'look at me being so edgy saying all these things that piss off all the adults!'. Most of us grew out of that in our rebellious teen stage.

eta Then again, 'I'm up in an airplane dropping poop on you!' is more kindergarden than teenager. Which is entirely appropriate for the toddler-in-chief, of course.

It's unintentionally funny.

He's wearing a crown from a kid's burger meal, and as someone said on bluesky, "all he'd need to do was take off his diapers"
