Trump says we need to go after drug cartels. Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on. And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. It's a power grab.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.
