This is wrong on so many levels. The Supreme Court is showing us how out of touch they are with these issues.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

I hope everyone is happy with the tariffs. It still amazes me that some still don't understand they are a tax on the American people, not the host country.

A tumultuous three months has led the IMF to revise its outlook for the global economy. Trump's trade war will hurt Mexicans and Americans the most.

That is not good. Trump is doing such a terrible job on the economy. It was expected, and people voted for him anyway.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses. It's the third highest monthly total on record.

I agree. The democrats don't have time to wait around and let everything fail. People can see the issue, and they should take advantage of the situation that Trump gave the.

I think this is likely going to happen. Red states depend heavily on federal dollars. In some states, the federal government employees many of them.

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

I don't like how they are trying to blame Biden for their own mistakes. The finger pointing at Biden is getting rather played out.

Stagflation or a possible recession are both likely. Trump's tariffs are a horrible decision that will only make things worse.

Bank of America economists now believe “modest stagflation” is the most likely outcome for the US this year, and that the combination of low growth and elevated prices will likely keep future Fed rate cuts on hold -- Aditya Bhave, a senior U.S. economist and managing director at BofA 1/2 #EconSky

Elderly people better take note. They are trying to break the system and discredit it. And when it fails, they can claim it didn't work to begin with. And once you lose faith in the system, it becomes easier to dismantle.

I guess there are no rate cuts this year. I wouldn't be surprised if interest rates are increased due to Trump's terrible economic policies.

I'm still surprise that our veterans vote republican. Most of the benefits they receive are thanks to the democrats. Honestly, I'm not sure why veterans voted for Trump when he came after McCain. And to support Trump when he dodged the draft twice is crazy.

More indicators that we may be headed for a recession. All Trump needed to do was do nothing, and he could have taken credit for Bidens Economy. Instead, he decided to push us into a recession.

I wonder how true this is for Russia. Russia has become a war time economy, and most of the skilled people have been sent to serve in the war. Russia is going to be negatively impacted both ways when it comes to the economy and skilled labor.

businessinsider.comRussia is on pace to run out of financial reserves by this fall, which would cripple war efforts, economist saysRussia has spent most of its National Wealth Fund in the last few years, with liquid funds potentially being depleted in 2025, one economist says.
