Trump's Tariffs Killed More Small Business Jobs Than COVID Did
Read more . . . →The math is in. The smallest American businesses — fewer than 10 employees — lost 4.5 times more jobs in 2025 than they did during the entire pandemic year of 2020. No lockdowns. No virus. Just Trump’s tariffs running for 13 straight months. 292,000 jobs gone from businesses that can’t offshore, can’t lobby, can’t absorb a 145% cost shock and survive it. The Joint Economic Committee broke it down by sector. Leisure and hospitality — restaurants, hotels — down 48,000 jobs and 15% of revenue. Small manufacturers down 38,000 jobs and 11% of revenue. These aren’t abstract numbers. These are...

They Fired the Humans. The AI Still Doesn't Pay.
Read more . . . →They had a story about this. AI transformation. The robots would do the work, profits would climb, shareholders would cheer, and the humans — well, the humans would figure it out. It was always a tidier story for the people who write the memos than for the people who receive them. Gartner just studied 350 companies — all over $1B revenue, all running AI tools — and found that the ones cutting the most workers saw no better return than the ones that kept people. Zero correlation. The study dropped May 5. The layoffs kept coming anyway. 38,000 jobs gone...

They Investigated a Women's College for Having Too Many Women
Read more . . . →A women’s college admitted trans women for a decade and nobody cared. Then they invited Admiral Rachel Levine to give a commencement speech. A conservative legal group filed a complaint. Now the Department of Education is opening a Title IX investigation into Smith College for violating women’s rights — by admitting women the administration doesn’t recognize as women. Title IX was written to stop universities from discriminating against women. The Trump administration is using it to make women’s colleges decide which women count. Smith, Wellesley, and Mount Holyoke are all in range. The law that opened doors is now being...
