Misleading to not acknowledge job losses under Trump while shifting all the employment damage from pandemic to Biden. Politifact rates false Trump's claim of more jobs creation during first 30 months. Bureau of labor statistics reports 5.2 million new jobs under Trump and 13.2 million new jobs under Biden. Now total employment is higher than before the pandemic. According to International labor organization, there has been little change in US percentage of part time workers in total employment. Under Trump, 26% to 29% part time from 2017 to 2020. Under Biden, 26% part time from 2021 to 2023. Fact is Trump has the worst jobs record in modern US history. He is trying to cover up his disastrous record. |

The only polls that really count are elections. In recent New York special election, democrat victory further reduces House republican majority. |

Inflation reduction act is less about inflation but more about combating climate change, creating jobs, improving energy grid and reducing healthcare costs. It has already created hundreds of thousands of new jobs and launched hundreds of clean energy projects. In 2025, 19 million people on medicare are expected to save average of $400 annually on drugs. Forecast of 1.3 million new jobs over the next decade. Reduced government spending on medicare drugs by $240 billion. Households saving up to $278 billion on electricity bills. US economy benefits in the long term. |

Trump hash money trial reveals the real fake news according to Vanity fair. The National enquirer did all the things Trump accused mainstream media of doing. A propaganda machine that kills negative stories about him and promotes negative stories about opponents. |

On the internet, lies quickly spread but truths slowly emerge over time. |

Or whether states continue assault to control women. |

In ad, Republicans against Trump group denounces deranged republicans who would still vote for Trump despite blaming him for attack on capitol. For examples, Barr and McConnell. According to former aide Sarah Matthews, Barr said, "you may want Trump policies but he will not deliver." If anything, Trump would lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be. |

Biden accepts invite to HONOR the free press at the annual WH Correspondents Gala! Trump always refused!
in Politics Polls show republicans are more likely to distrust media than democrats. Oddly, republicans distrust right wing media more than democrats. This is sad because the traditional institutions of truth are media, school and science. |

BREAKING: More MAGA republicans in serious legal trouble for fraud, conspiracy
in Politics Media matters reveal that right wing media is trying to pretend illegal fake elector scheme is legal. They try to downplay indictments severity. They use false comparisons and debunked claims to defend those indicted in false elector scheme. If conspiracy to falsify 2020 election results succeeded, the will of millions of voters would be denied and legal transfer of power would be prevented. Democracy depends on informed voters but misinformation threatens that. |

Pandemics usually last several years. Starting slowly in 2020 before peaking later. When Biden took office in 2021, the worst covid wave devastated US. According to Center for disease control, 353,000 deaths in Biden's first 10 months. Compared to 425,000 deaths during Trump's last 10 months. So there have been fewer deaths under Biden for similar time periods. But best comparison is how US compare to the rest of the world. Under Biden, US has accounted for a smaller share (16%) of world deaths than under Trump (20%). Under Biden, death rate has dropped over 90%. |

What damage to America does the traitor and his party plan for the rest of the year.?
in Politics Disturbing that Johnson and fascist republicans want National guard to repress peaceful student protests. That reflect GOP extreme attitude in Israel-Hamas war and intolerance of rhetoric to end Israel violence. Republicans are trying to make protests a federal matter and calling for extreme escalation. However police reports protests are mostly peaceful except for non-student protesters. |
