Unemployment in America is not a national issue as much as a states issue.

The things that are most unaffordable for young Americans are health care, housing, and school - which are exactly the sectors w/ the most gov't involvement and regulation; meanwhile, sectors w/ little to no gov't involvement have seen massive price drops:

🚨 TUESDAY TAKEDOWN: STEAL SNAP. GET BUSTED.
More than $862,000 in SNAP benefits allegedly diverted—with some wired overseas to Ramallah in the West Bank.
Florida authorities arrested Anwar Jouda for allegedly using a stolen identity, forged documents, and fraudulent merchant accounts to redirect SNAP funds into accounts he controlled.
He now faces charges of grand theft, organized scheme to defraud, and criminal use of personal identification information.
These benefits are meant to help eligible American families put food on the table. Every dollar stolen is a dollar taken from those who need it.
@USDA will keep fighting to protect taxpayers and root out SNAP fraud.

MINNEAPOLIS LEADERS LIT THE MATCH, THEN WALKED AWAY
Jacob Frey stood in front of the cameras and told ICE to "get the f*** out" of his city. Tim Walz called ICE the "modern-day Gestapo." Ilhan Omar called federal officers "vile and beyond cruel." A city council member called ICE operations "terrorist attacks."
That's the message the people in charge sent. Then the police department said protesters surrounding ICE "alone is not sufficient reason" to respond.
Nobody asked Minneapolis PD to enforce immigration law. Assault is a crime in Minnesota. Blocking a street is a crime. Obstructing an officer is a crime. Those are local laws, and every cop in that city swore an oath to enforce them no matter who is on the other end.
Two people are dead. Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I am saddened by their deaths. It's tragic, and two families are living without them. Those cases are still under investigation and those families deserve every answer.
But look at how one of those scenes started. CBP's own report says it began with two people blowing whistles who refused a lawful order to get out of the road. That's a traffic problem. Local cops handle that every single day across this country. They weren't there.
ICE wanted to make the arrest and move on. Instead, with no local police keeping the peace, crowds felt free to get in the middle of federal operations, and it escalated to a point it never should have reached.
When a scene starts getting hot, you put local officers between the crowd and the operation early, before it boils over. Minneapolis leaders did the opposite. They turned up the heat with their words and left the street to whoever showed up. If they would just have provided a secure perimeter and not involved themselves in the arrest it would have been all good.
If those families want accountability, it shouldn't stop at the federal government. The mayor and the police department who let it get that far should be answering for it too.
Frey and Walz don't get to light the match, walk away, and point at everyone else when the fire spreads.

📊 NEW DATA: A new survey from the Census Bureau shows a big slowdown in growth of the foreign-born population through mid-2025, with an increase of just 174,000 from mid-2024 to mid-2025, compared to growth of 2.4 million from 2023 to 2024.
It is almost certain that changes at the end of the Biden administration and then in the first few months of the Trump administration fundamentally altered prior trends, in particular reducing the arrival of new illegal immigrants.

Want more affordable homes? Make it easier to build them.
Zoning restrictions, parking mandates, and permitting delays make adding housing harder. Families need more options.
What building barrier should your state remove first?

I don't think most people know Chicago's population has dropped by almost 900K since 1950.

They’re selling you a “bad Trump economy.” But the October jobs report blew past expectations by 2.5 times. Don’t believe the negative spin.

NEW: In a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit lifted court-ordered limits on federal agents' use of tear gas and other crowd-control weapons at protests outside a Portland ICE facility, along with a requirement that agents wear more visible identifying markings on their uniforms.

$IBM follow-up.
IBM's own careers site right now: 1,016 open listings in its Consulting job category. 769 are in India. 92 are in the United States.
That's 76% India. 9% U.S.
Across every IBM job category, it's 1,870 openings in India and 470 in the U.S.
Today IBM said it's ending visa and green card sponsorship for most roles in IBM Consulting, a unit with more than 150,000 people. Affected workers can keep working for IBM outside the U.S. or leave at the end of the year.
So the sponsorship goes away, the worker gets offered a job abroad, and the open Consulting listings already run more than 8 to 1 India over the U.S.
Fewer H-1Bs doesn't automatically mean more American hires.
Watch the job board, not the press release y'all.
$IBM just gave us a reason to watch for the Visa Exit Ramp.
End U.S. sponsorship. Offer the worker a job overseas. Potentially keep the work inside the company.
Then everyone reads “fewer H-1Bs” and assumes Americans get the openings.
My workforce tracking still shows people joining engineering and consulting. So follow where the next hires land.
Is this how more companies respond to immigration pressure... by moving the employment outside America?
Offshoring has been around forever... but seriously... getting applauded for a sponsorship crackdown while offering workers an overseas transfer is one hell of a twist.

much easier to kick a problem down the road when there is significant growth ahead...much harder when the elderly are surpassing and suffocating any potential growth to maximize their present.

Social Security Deficit Blows Out: Trust Fund, Income, Costs, Deficits, and Interest Rates in Fiscal 2026.
3 months before insolvency of SS in 1983, Congress passed and Reagan signed a fix that lasted 40 years. Now Congress needs to stop dilly-dallying

It's appalling that R's in Congress didn't reverse this Biden-era expansion on day 1, so now we're headed back to the emergency last faced in the early '80s:

There should be at least a 1 year time out between a bond expiring and starting a new one.
Another way expensive bond referendums get passed in Illinois? They're marketed as "no-tax-increase" referendums.
Five school district referendums – Oswego ($317 M), Champaign ($192 M), Yorkville ($159 M), DuPage ($118 M), and Mahomet-Seymour ($84M) – were promoted as having “no tax hikes.”
Officials said new borrowings would be replacing old borrowings.
They all passed.
See our 6 takeaways from the referendums at Fight for Illinois

Please ask him how the American people can have any confidence in him or Senate Republicans when they squandered a Republican House, Senate, & White House.
Ask him about the hundreds of bills sitting on his desk that were sent from the Republican House.
Ask how if he feels at all responsible for the defeats of his colleagues in red states like Kansas.
Ask him how do we expect him to do anything in the minority when he failed to lead in the majority.
Ask him if he feels responsible for the Republican base not turning out because voters were so fed up with an entirely Republican gov’t that failed to pass legislation.
Ask him how he will respond when democrats change the rules & allow for legislation to pass out of the Senate with a simple majority.
Ask him how is it “conservative” to squander a Republican majority with aging Supreme Court Justices that no longer have the voters to confirm their successors.
Ask him why does he deserve to continue to serve in a leadership role when his lack of action in the majority directly impacted his catastrophic loss into the minority.
Ask him if he intends to take a vacation during the remaining time Republicans maintain the Senate majority.
Ask him if he will use every second over the next 2 months to work to pass legislation.
Ask him if he regrets not taking advantage of the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act.
Ask him if he regrets not safeguarding our elections, especially since we have proof that non-citizens are voting in our elections.
Ask him why he deserves re-election in 2028.
What’s next for the GOP after the midterms? Leader @johnthune joins me tonight on @SpecialReport

Putting Thune in charge instead of Senator Scott was a generational bag fumble.
Small Government retweeted
After suffering the most significant loss in more than 50 years, will the Senate GOP really just keep everyone in place via a closed door, secret vote?
🚨 BREAKING: Republican Senators are about to take a SECRET BALLOT and possibly elect JOHN THUNE as the next Senate Minority Leader, despite a push to delay the race
This means we have no way of knowing every senator voted for Thune
Lawrence Jones' response is PURE TRUTH:
"After what happened on Tuesday, why would they think that what they're doing currently is ACCEPTABLE to the voters? I mean, you've got to have some self-assessment and figure out what went WRONG."
"And if the voters feel like you didn't deliver on the agenda and many of it died in the Senate, and you're gonna take that same leadership path, I think that's SUIC*DE RIGHT THERE!"
Should not have tried to hold the election today, barely ONE WEEK after the shellacking in the midterms
The focus should be Thune leading us to common sense legislation passage for 60 days straight!
Small Government retweeted
If the Senate votes to re-elect Senator Thune into a leadership position,
it means Republicans have learned absolutely nothing from the catastrophic loss of 2026.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) just EMERGED on the Senate floor and openly called on Leader John Thune and Leadership to HOLD THE CHAMBER IN SESSION until EVERYTHING is done — rather than WAIT OUT THE CLOCK for Dems to take power
"We can work the rest of this week, and we can work for the next TWO MONTHS to deliver on nominations, to deliver on accountability for this government, root out fraud!"
"WE'RE IN THE MAJORITY!" 🔥
"We currently hold the baton that our forefathers handed to us to keep this the greatest country on this planet."
She's spot on, LET'S GET IT DONE!
Trump just made 3 MORE NOMINATIONS today and the clock is ticking every single day.
Reconciliation, nominations, secure elections, anything and everything. ACT FAST.
