US layoffs are skyrocketing:
US employers announced 105,441 job cuts in April, the highest for any April in 5 years.
Excluding 2020, this was the highest count for any April since 2009.
Over the last 6 months, there have been 699,012 job cuts, the most since the 2020 pandemic.… pic.twitter.com/lvu7Tu79kQ

Job cuts have been particularly high in the government sector, followed by retail and technology. DOGE actions, market/economic conditions, and restructuring have been major drivers of layoffs. US layoffs are at recession levels.

This comes just hours after President Trump suggested 80% tariffs on China.
Tomorrow, China and the US will meet to discuss trade.

These are the people responsible for passing CO HB 25-1312 which would consider “misgendering” a form of “discrimination” and take it into account in custody hearings to potentially take your kids away.

[DS] Agenda
The National Weather Service (NWS) is on high-alert and both federal as well as state law enforcement agencies are investigating recent threats made against weather radar facilities operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The threats are said to… pic.twitter.com/GO9xtxlT03
— OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) May 9, 2025
to have been made by a group calling themselves Veterans on Patrol, described as an anti-government militia located in Arizona and led by self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and conspiracy theorist Michael “Lewis Arthur” Meyer, who believes that the NWS’s Doppler weather radar systems are being used as a “weather weapon” against people in the United States. The milita has since sent threats to several radar sites across the country, while publicly encouraging attacks against the facilities; NOAA officials have also received internal warnings about the group advocating for “penetration drills” to identify weaknesses at the radar sites, with the goal of ultimately destroying them and harming staff members of the NWS.

Pope Leo XIV.
If you think you know what kind of pope he will be, you do not. Good or bad.
Give it a rest.

an excellent recent example. This is not some newly elected Congressperson or local dog catcher. This is the POPE. The rules of the American political prism do not apply. Being pope changes a man. The weight of leading the world’s largest Christian religion and the calling of God means all bets are off. He could be another narcissistic, anti-God disaster like Bergoglio. He could be another transcendent figure like Saint Pope John Paul II. Nobody knows for sure right now, so give the man a chance.

Tulsi Gabbard:
The actions that we’ve taken—unfortunately—there continue to be significant leaks coming out of the intelligence community. Not only my organization, but the CIA and others—again, by those who are very directly trying to undermine the agenda and actions of President Trump. Once again, the President who was elected by the American people with an overwhelming mandate.The way that we start to end this is by bringing about transparency and accountability. In these cases, we conducted our own internal investigation. In three cases, we referred them to the Department of Justice. As you know well, Matt, sometimes—or historically—we could refer things to the Department of Justice, and they would sit on a desk somewhere or get lost in the paper shuffle. And you end up having to wait and you wonder, Well, is anything ever going to happen?
