SAN FRANCISCO — California’s unemployment rate increased slightly in July and is now the highest of any state in the nation. California added 15,000 nonfarm jobs in July, according to the Employment Development Department, pushing the unemployment rate up 0.1% to 5.5%, which is higher than that of any other state and higher than the national average of 4.2%. July’s job gains follow a downward-revised job loss of 9,500 for June, the EDD said.

Comments:

Every month the state is losing jobs. Eventually it becomes too noticeable to ignore.

Sorry to say but they don't see this as a problem in Sacramento. They see this as more people who need government assistance, thus, they will need more government employees to administer said assistance. The former will continue to vote for those who provide the assistance and the latter will vote for the party who provided that lifetime government employment job. As long as the very rich in Silicon Valley and Coastal communities are okay paying higher and higher taxes, this scheme continues. It's how the Democrats were able to take over the state - by catering to the super wealthy, the public unions who have the government jobs and those who need government assistance programs. Oh, and the threat of losing abortion (which is no longer an issue since it's part of the State Constitution now and the Supreme Court has ruled it's a STATE issue).

You can tell the Dems don't don't care (or worse) because 100% of what they do makes this worse. From Min wage, over $5 gas, increasing or creating new taxes everyday, they never do anything to improve the economy. San Diego has been on a tax creation/increase drive for months, adding a new tax for services that historically have been paid from property taxes for a hundred years, installing parking meters in neighborhoods and in our public parks or just increasing parking costs by 4x where they already had meters. The Dems have never done anything to help the people, never.

Former President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, has filed for divorce from her plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Howard Krein, after more than 13 years of marriage, court records show.

‘Trump’s worst nightmare’: Mamdani

NEW YORK — Affordability was at the center of Zohran Mamdani’s winning primary campaign for New York City mayor. President Donald Trump has become the focus of his general election bid. The Democratic nominee launched a five-borough tour “against Trump” on Monday to amplify how he believes the president will harm New York City — and why Mamdani thinks he should be elected to lead the vanguard. He’s also tying opponents Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa closely to Trump, adopting a classic Democratic general election playbook by casting two fellow Democrats and the GOP nominee as the president’s

As Sen. Ruben Gallego heads to Iowa this weekend openly musing about a possible presidential run, he does so from near the back of the potential Democratic pack. He ranks among the worst-funded and rarest names mentioned in the mix for the White House. But going to Iowa, a state with a history of outsized importance in picking presidential nominees, can raise Gallego’s national profile and kindle interest in a place where it might matter if he does run. Later this month, the freshman senator from Arizona is planning a swing through New Hampshire, historically home to the nation’s first

President Donald Trump has said little about his idea of relocating many of the Gaza Strip’s 2 million Palestinians to other countries since he stunned the world by announcing it in February. But Israel’s leaders have run with it, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at one point listed it as a condition for ending the 22-month war sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack. He and other Israeli officials present it as a humanitarian measure allowing Palestinians to flee war and hardship, and say it should be voluntary. Israel has been in talks with African countries —

A federal judge on Friday shut down the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) investigation into far-left Media Matters. US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction against the FTC and blocked its investigation into Media Matters.

In May, the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into Media Matters for America, the far left group that targets conservative media outlets and personalities to put them out of business. Media Matters for America is funded by the top Democrat Megadonors who value their work.

The U.S. Department of State announced Saturday morning that it was stopping a visa program that allowed residents of Gaza to enter the United States for "medical-humanitarian" reasons. This comes after videos of large groups of Gazans—often decked out in "Palestinian" flags and keffiyehs associated with the terror group Hamas—arriving at airports across the nation began popping up on social media in the last few weeks. According to this State Department tweet, the program is being paused while officials review the "process and procedures" that have allowed a stream of injured children from Gaza, often accompanied by several family members, into the country.
