Even after Donald Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner last month over the terrible jobs report, the jobs numbers this month worse—proving it’s the numbers and not the person in charge, as if anyone besides Trump and his lackeys needed to know that. The new report is more evidence of the detrimental impact of tariffs and mass deportations on the economy, as the Trump recession comes into focus.

In a grotesque action, Trump’s Department of Justice is moving to ban transgender people from being allowed to obtain guns, claiming they are mentally ill and based on one recent shooting. And this move has been attacked—fiercely—by the NRA and Second Amendment groups. When you are too extreme, even for the NRA, it says something big. And it is more of an echo of the Nazis, where the regime began banning certain groups from getting gun licenses as it moved to dehumanize and eliminate them.

Trump’s physical and mental health issues are clear and yet have received scant coverage from the corporate media. They more so reported on it as the supposed “conspiracy theories” about his health or the “wishful thinking” of liberals. This is a far cry from what they did with Joe Biden, and another example of the fear instilled in our access-driven media.
