On March 5, Politico economics correspondent Victoria Guida made it clear she's frustrated that President Trump isn't losing momentum. noted  That March piece is dripping with frustration and irritation, starting with the headline: "Trump Keeps Gambling With the Economy — And Getting Away With It." Well it now appears that same bitterness on the part of Guida has carried over into April as reflected in title of her Friday story, "Job growth shatters expectations in March, in boost to Trump." And if you missed the bitterness in the title, the subtitle makes it quite clear, "That report gives the president some useful talking points as polling shows deep dissatisfaction with the state of the economy." Got that? In March Trump  was "getting away with it" on the economy and now in April he got himself some "useful talking points." We now join Guida in her current state of high irk: U.S. job growth surged past expectations in March and the unemployment rate dropped, giving President Donald Trump breathing room as the economy comes under increasing pressure over the war in Iran and rising oil prices. Companies added a net 178,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported Friday, a huge swing from February, when the economy actually shed jobs. But it was roughly in line with January, a sharp fluctuation that is making it harder to gauge the job market’s health. But the overall positive trend suggests that the economy remained resilient during the first quarter of the year. ...None of those figures are likely to change the narrative that has prevailed over the past couple of years of a low-hire, low-fire labor market. But the unemployment rate now stands at 4.3 percent, and the manufacturing sector — which has been anemic for a long period of time — added 15,000 jobs in March. That gives Trump some useful talking points as polling shows deep dissatisfaction with the state of the economy, particularly in the wake of the war in the Middle East, which has led to a surge in gas prices. One can only wonder how much frustrated stomach acid was produced by the economic combo of March's "getting away with it" and April's "useful talking points."

Friday’s roundtable on MS NOW’s The 11th Hour concluded by naming their MVPs of the week and there were some interesting selections. MS NOW’s online editor Anthony Fisher selected Judge Randolph Moss for his nonsensical ruling that said NPR and PBS are private companies and that President Trump’s defunding of them violated the First Amendment. Meanwhile, Independent Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieckhoff picked the crew of Artemis II, which was a completely understandable selection, except he did so because he thought they provided a noticeable contrast to Trump. Fisher began by declaring “My MVP is Judge Randolph Moss, U.S. district judge out of D.C., who ruled that President Trump's executive orders that defunded NPR and PBS were illegal, constituted viewpoint discrimination. It does not mean that the federal government is going to now refund NPR or the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is done.”   MS NOW editor Anthony Fisher says his MVP of the week is the judge who "who ruled that President Trump's executive orders that defunded NPR and PBS were illegal, were—constituted viewpoint discrimination...we need judges to be able to continue. We need judges to continue to say… pic.twitter.com/zS2I8AF2OC — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) April 4, 2026   Taking his victories where he can get them, Fisher continued, “So, there is a bit of a symbolic victory here, but as you mentioned before, we still are a nation of laws. And this judge—” Guest host Catherine Rampell then interrupted to cheer, “For now. Yay!” Fisher then resumed, “This judge at least said that this was unconstitutional. It was against the First Amendment. It was viewpoint discrimination. And we need judges to be able to continue. We need judges to continue to say these things, because it is my hope that the First Amendment survives this administration.” In the very first sentence of Moss’s opinion, he states that National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service are “private entities,” and therefore withholding grants from them on the basis of their liberal bias is illegal. But, of course, NPR and PBS are not private entities, and so the whole opinion was nonsensical. As for Rieckhoff, he began by declaring that his opposition to the war in Iran is as popular as the Artemis mission, “Something special happened this week. America was united and not just against the war in Iran, but when Artemis took off and everyone saw the prowess and the excellence and the visionary possibility of Artemis and of NASA, this country was united. This country was inspired. This country was proud.” He then tried accusing Trump of ruining it with his Iran speech earlier in the week while also suggesting Trump would have canceled the mission if he knew one of the astronauts was Canadian, “Now, Trump spoke a couple of hours later and, kind of, crapped on all of that. But for this moment and still now, there is a real feeling of pride in this country, in these incredible astronauts who are also diverse, and even includes an ally from Canada. And thankfully, maybe Trump didn't find out otherwise, he would have shut it down.” In the real world, Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney had a phone call on the day of the launch. Nevertheless, Rieckhoff continued in his hopes that Artemis could be a counterweight to Trump, “But Artemis is right now in space as role models for our children and giving a new generation reason to be proud to be Americans, we needed some hope. Hope is the oxygen of democracy. And we got it this week from Artemis.” Artemis was and is a unifying moment, so why does MS NOW have to try to ruin that by making it about their opposition to Trump? Here is a transcript for the April 3 show: MS NOW The 11th Hour 4/3/2026 11:51 PM ET ANTHONY FISHER: Speaking of separation of church and state, my MVP is Judge Randolph Moss, U.S. district judge out of D.C., who ruled that President Trump's executive orders that defunded NPR and PBS were illegal, constituted viewpoint discrimination. It does not mean that the federal government is going to now refund NPR or the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is done. So, there is a bit of a symbolic victory here, but as you mentioned before, we still are a nation of laws. And this judge— CATHERINE RAMPELL: For now. Yay! ANTHONY FISHER: —this judge at least said that this was unconstitutional. It was against the First Amendment. It was viewpoint discrimination. And we need judges to be able to continue. We need judges to continue to say these things, because it is my hope that the First Amendment survives this administration. RAMPELL: Paul. PAUL RIECKHOFF: Something special happened this week. America was united and not just against the war in Iran, but when Artemis took off and everyone saw the prowess and the excellence and the visionary possibility of Artemis and of NASA, this country was united. This country was inspired. This country was proud. Now, Trump spoke a couple of hours later and, kind of, crapped on all of that. But for this moment and still now, there is a real feeling of pride in this country, in these incredible astronauts who are also diverse, and even includes an ally from Canada.

Defending Education, an advocacy organization that combats leftist indoctrination in K-12 public schools, recently obtained documents outlining the talking points and marching orders being fed to radicals ahead of leftist May Day protests planned across the country.Among the leftist outfits poised to train would-be protesters is the Midwest Academy, a liberal activist-grooming center that has reportedly received over $1.7 million in recent years from the National Education Association.'Congress should revoke the NEA’s federal charter.'The Midwest Academy, joined by the the NYU Metro Center and organizers from Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools member groups, is coordinating a four-week training series titled "Four Weeks of Power" with the purported aim of building "a broader, stronger base of parents, educators and students taking action to defend and transform public schools."Although organized by the NEA-backed outfit, sessions will be provided by the leftist organization Free the Future, part of the NEA-aligned Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools network.Free the Future will start off the sessions by providing "an introduction to community organizing in the context of the rising authoritarianism we’re seeing in real time." Free the Future will conclude the sessions by helping fellow travelers "better understand power mapping and targets, understanding which actions make sense for our team and community, and the logistics of planning a successful action."RELATED: Why Johnny still can’t read: The curriculum cartel doesn’t want reform Dominic Di Palermo/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service/Getty ImagesFree the Future is evidently keen to train up radicals with the NEA-backed group in time for mass protests on May 1. Free the Future has partnered with May Day Strong "to plan hundreds of actions in the streets" next month.May Day Strong's tool kit reveals that radicals are reskinning their No Kings protests for May Day.The tool kit recommends not only protesting outside lawmakers' offices and "one of the many corporate targets we need to take on," but that radicals stage "school walk-ins" and rally outside schools.Hilton Hotels, Chevron, Citgo, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are the corporations targeted by May Day Strong.The organizers have furnished would-be protesters with a template press release that contains the following talking points:"Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first." "No ICE, NO War. No private army serving authoritarian power." "Expand democracy, not corporate rule. Defend free and fair elections."NEA's official May Day 2026 "Solidarity Toolkit," which is greatly similar to the May Day Strong tool kit right down to the advocacy for school walk-ins, states, "This May Day will be a day of rallies, marches, teach-ins, labor actions, and a refusal of business as usual — because when those at the top rig the system, collective action is how we set it right."According to NEA's tool kit, "walk-ins" seem to involve a school invasion:During school walk-ins, parents, educators, and students, along with neighbors and community leaders, gather in front of their school 30-45 minutes before the school day begins. We rally and listen to a few speakers discuss what they want for the school, and then we all walk into the school together. Walk-ins can be used to celebrate your school, collaborate with school officials, or protest harmful school conditions and policies.Rhyen Staley, director of research at Defending Education, said in a statement obtained by Blaze News, "This is yet another example of how activists and teachers' unions view schools as a tool to advance their political agenda.""It should be deeply concerning that one of the suggested tactics is to enter schools to protest against policies they don’t like," continued Staley. "Putting children's education and safety at risk for political gain is unethical and immoral."Corey DeAngelis, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Center for Education Policy, told Blaze News, "Congress should revoke the NEA’s federal charter or at least bar them from engaging in political activity altogether."DeAngelis noted further, "These radicals are providing free advertising for homeschooling, showing us exactly who they are, and parents need to pull their kids out of these institutions."Becky Pringle, the Democrat NEA president who reportedly made over $500,000 while fighting to keep schools closed at kids' expense between September 2020 and August 2021, made clear in her keynote address at last year's National Education Association convention that her union is committed to undermining the Trump administration."We must use our power to take action that leads, action that liberates, action that lasts," Pringle said in her speech.At the convention, the NEA adopted a resolution declaring its support for mass movements against the government, including No Kings protests and anti-ICE rallies.
