THE “AMERICA LAST” JOBS REPORT – Team Trump Rapid Response has the stats you need to know from today’s jobs report. It's good to be an illegal alien in Kamala's America. If you're a U.S. citizen, not so much.

• 825,000 native-born Americans LOST employment over the past year — while 1.2 million foreign-born workers GAINED employment.
• Kamala killed another 7,000 manufacturing jobs last month — meaning at least 34,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost over the past two months alone and manufacturing jobs have been shed in three of the past four months. There are 37,000 fewer manufacturing workers than last September.
• 9,000 transportation and warehousing jobs were lost last month. 
• There are now 6.8 million Americans who are unemployed — up from 6.3 million one year ago — as labor force participation remains far below pre-pandemic levels.
• The number of long-term unemployed Americans shot up by 97,000 last month.
• Over the last 12 months, 555,000 more Americans took on part-time work for economic reasons.
• There are 502,000 fewer private industry workers and 696,000 more government workers than one year ago.

Americans have been subjected to four years of pain. Overall prices are up 20.3% under Kamala, while real wages remain lower than when she took office. Nearly half of Americans consider themselves "broke," while two-thirds report living paycheck-to-paycheck.

WHERE’S THE RELIEF – Concerning new reports indicate that the Harris-Biden administration may be hindering relief and rescue efforts even as they fail the people devastated by Hurricane Helene.

Now, a whistleblower has come forward with concerning allegations on the government’s slow and ineffective response. As reported by the Daily Mail: “A letter from a whistleblower to Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. details how the department has wasted and misappropriated funds in the wake of Helene and is now 'exacerbating the emergency.' … The letter also alleges 'hundreds if not thousands' of first responders and service members have been 'without deployment orders' with some waiting around in hotels while others 'have sat idle' as Americans throughout the southeast are in dire need.”

CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT – In yet another blow to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) announced it will not endorse a presidential candidate in 2024 – the second high profile union to snub their campaign in recent weeks following the Teamsters non-endorsement last month.

Analysis from Team Trump below:

The IAFF was the first union to endorse Biden's 2020 campaign and has endorsed a Democrat in every presidential election since at least 1976 – except 2016, when they also made no endorsement.

The Harris-Walz campaign was clearly gunning for their support. Walz addressed their annual convention just weeks after he was nominated and Kamala gave them a "surprise drop-by" earlier this year, hoping to secure their eventual backing.

The news is already being panned as another humiliating defeat for Harris-Walz:

• Politico: "Kamala Harris suffered a blow Thursday as the union representing more than 300,000 career firefighters and emergency responders declined to make a presidential endorsement..."
• NBC News: "The news is a particular blow to Vice President Kamala Harris, since the union was the first to endorse Joe Biden's presidential bid in 2020."
• The Washington Post: "A blow to Democrats who had hoped for the group's support."

Kamala clearly has a BIG problem with rank-and-file workers across the country, who know her policies – such as a fracking ban, electric vehicle mandate, and other left-wing lunacy – would be devastating.

Workers also know President Trump and Senator JD Vance, the most pro-worker Republican ticket in history, have always had the backs of American workers — and always will.

WALZ’S FRAUD SCANDALS – A scathing new CNN report outlines the massive fraud scandals that have taken place on Tim Walz’s watch.

• “One state audit found that bonus checks intended for frontline workers during the pandemic were handed out to undeserving recipients. Another criticized a Minnesota state agency for failing to ensure there were no conflicts of interest in taxpayer-funded mental health and addiction programs. A third detailed lax oversight of a program to feed needy kids which federal prosecutors say resulted in the nation’s largest Covid-era fraud scheme.”
• “But when confronted with these and other troubling examples of waste, fraud and abuse, some state agencies working under the administration of Democratic Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly minimized or dismissed the allegations, the state’s nonpartisan auditor, Judy Randall, told CNN.”
• “A CNN review of audits – and the responses they prompted – as well as interviews with statewide politicians and pundits, found that Walz has been a hands-off leader when it comes to seeking accountability for episodes of fraud and mismanagement on his watch. What’s more, some state agencies headed by his appointees have responded defensively in recent months to the audits – a dynamic that Randall, who has worked in the department for 26 years, has found surprising.”

“A THREAT TO AMERICA’S SAFETY” – Peter Navarro is out with a new op-ed discussing Kamala Harris’ overly scripted speeches and “interviews.”

From the op-ed:

• “Yet, Kamala Harris’ non-improvisational cognitive style would be quickly revealed in several softball interviews in the days following that debate. No matter what question she was tossed, Harris responded off point and with the same kind of scripts she had memorized for the debate – to the point where even fan girl interviewers like MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle noted Harris’ evasiveness and lack of specificity.” 
• “Today, with less than 30 days to the most important presidential election in decades, Kamala Harris continues to doggedly refuse to hold even a single press conference or sit down for the multiple interviews normally expected of presidential candidates. What exactly is going on here?” 
• “Indeed, any president that lacks the ability to think on his or her feet in dynamic situations and improvise accordingly is likely to needlessly drag this nation into all manner of economic and geopolitical troubles – and possibly war itself.”
• “My abiding two points are simple: It’s time we talked more about Harris’ likely performance as president in public squares like these. It’s past time for Kamala Harris to, as they say, ‘meet the press.’”

THE KUDLOW INTERVIEW – President Trump sat down with Larry Kudlow to discuss Hurricane Helene, and his vision to Make America Prosperous Again. For all the must-see clips, go to @TrumpWarRoom.

FRACK ABOUT YOU – Kamala doesn’t give a frack about you. She said so herself. Watch Team Trump’s new ad here.

“SAME SONG SHEET” – Joe Biden said today that he sings from the “same song sheet” as Kamala. We know Joe, Comrade Kamala represents four more years of the same tried-and-failed policies of the Harris-Biden administration.
