The latest numbers from the Institute for Supply Management are in, and they’re about as inspiring as a rusted-out steel mill in Gary, Indiana.

By Justin JestReporting from America’s frontline of youthful resistance WASHINGTON, D.C. , The only thing faster than the Trump administration’s reckless crackdown on student visas has been the wildfire of outrage blazing through college campuses nationwide. In the last few weeks, what began as a series of scattered protests against arbitrary deportations of international students has grown into the largest wave of youth-led civil unrest since the Vietnam era,…
By Justin JestFiled from the battlefield of unintended consequences Trump bragged about bringing manufacturing home, until “home” meant importing machines at up to 145% duty and paying a 25% surcharge on the steel those machines are made from. Even Turkish-built press brakes, once the budget savior of small shops, get slapped with a baseline 10% tariff plus the same steel hike. If you thought “Made in USA” meant cheaper,…

By Justin JestFiled from the smoking crater of what used to be the Executive Branch WASHINGTON, D.C. , If you squint hard enough and swallow the propaganda whole, you’d think Donald J. Trump’s “Second First 100 Days” were a golden age of American greatness.

By Justin JestFiled from the graveyard of American morality MIAMI, FL , Marie Ange Blaise didn’t die at the hands of a cartel, or in a boat crossing shark-infested waters. She died in American custody. On U.S. soil. In an ICE detention system engineered for suffering, run like a prison camp, and championed by a president whose immigration policy has become an act of bureaucratic violence. She was 44….
