The Jobs Tank While HHS Burns 🐾

The August jobs report came in dismal, with only 22,000 new jobs added compared to 79,000 in July. The unemployment rate climbed to 4.3%, the highest since 2021. Manufacturing shed 12,000 jobs, construction lost 7,000, and the federal government cut 15,000 positions. Healthcare was the only bright spot, adding 31,000 jobs. June’s numbers were revised downward to show an actual loss of 13,000 jobs—the first monthly drop since the pandemic. Markets now expect the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates in September as bond yields slide and Wall Street cheers. At the same time, HHS is being gutted. Trump’s restructuring plan slashes 20,000 employees across FDA, CDC, NIH, and related agencies, hollowing out the very systems designed to protect public health. Combined with a wider federal hiring freeze, safety nets are fraying while economic stability crumbles.

Featured Resister: Senator Elizabeth Warren

THis queen continues to hammer the administration’s economic failures, calling out Wall Street’s celebration of worker pain and demanding investments in public health and real job creation. She’s one of the few still clawing back against both corporate greed and fascist cuts.

Today’s To-Do List

• Call out the jobs report for what it is: a signal of collapse, not recovery.
• Pressure the Federal Reserve to cut rates for working people, not just financiers.
• Amplify outrage over HHS cuts—FDA, CDC, and NIH are not expendable.
• Share the numbers: 22,000 jobs added vs 20,000 HHS jobs slashed—this is the math of fascism.
• Boycott corporations cheering layoffs while padding shareholder pockets.

Final Rallying Call

The regime is cutting jobs, gutting health protections, and feeding Wall Street while workers and families drown. They are dismantling the future one paycheck and one safety net at a time. Resistance means clawing back every lost job, every stolen right, and every gutted agency. Stay loud, stay sharp, stay claws-out.
