'Laziest Man In The World': Trump Ripped Over 'Pathetic' Complaint About Holidays
President Donald Trump is getting called out on social media after a Juneteenth post in which he railed against the number of holidays in the United States, insisted that workers don't like the days off either, and demanded a 'change.' Trump wrote on his Truth Social website: The president didn't mention Juneteenth in his post, but it came as millions of Americans marked the day, which commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The White House held no public celebration. Trump, ironically, not only marked Juneteenth during his previous term in office but also campaigned on making it a federal holiday, although that didn't happen until Congress passed a bill in 2021, which was signed into law by then-President Joe Biden. Juneteenth became the 11th federal holiday in the United States, which is not an especially large number compared to other nations. In addition, many businesses remain open and many people work during most U.S. holidays. For example, about six in 10 large employers don't observe Juneteenth, according to USA Today. Trump can't change the number of holidays without an act of Congress, but his threat to do so fired up his critics. They responded: Laziest man in the world wants you to work harder. — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) June 19, 2025 "Too many non-working holidays-" Sounds like he has his thumb on the t̶h̶r̶o̶a̶t̶ pulse of the American worker. — Christopher Moore (@TheAuthorGuy) June 19, 2025 Trump just said on Truth Social that there are too many 'non-working holidays in America.' Not only is he trying to make you work MORE but also he's taking an apparent dig at Juneteenth. This is coming from the same guy who golfs every weekend.

Americans Are Side Hustling Like We're in a Recession
Does your friend with a second job know something you don't? The share of working Americans holding down multiple jobs rose to between 5.3% and 5.5% during the first five months of the year. That's a range we haven't seen since the recession of the aughts, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Trump officials lift short-lived pause on ICE arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants
The Trump administration has lifted a short-lived pause on immigration arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants, reversing a major policy pivot just a few days after issuing it internally, two sources familiar with the latest guidance told CBS News. One of the sources said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were told they could continue carrying out worksite enforcement operations to arrest unauthorized immigrants at farms, hotels and restaurants, as long as they are targeted in nature. The sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said ICE officials were informed of the new guidance during a call Monday. In a statement, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said, "The President has been incredibly clear. There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE's efforts." "Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability," McLaughlin added. "These operations target illegal employment networks that undermine American workers, destabilize labor markets and expose critical infrastructure to exploitation." Last week, ICE officials were directed to suspend worksite enforcement operations targeting farms, hotels and restaurants, amid growing concerns among industry leaders that President Trump's aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration was spooking their foreign-born workers, many of whom are in the country illegally or on temporary humanitarian programs his administration has sought to curtail. Mr. Trump himself last week recognized how U.S. farmers and hotel operators rely on immigrant employees, and appeared to preview an upcoming order to protect these industries. "We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have, maybe, what they're supposed to have, maybe not," Mr. Trump said, adding later, "We can't do that to our farmers. And leisure, too. Hotels. We're going to have to use a lot of common sense on that." Still, last week's scaling back of worksite immigration enforcement was, in many ways, at odds with the Trump administration's vow to deport millions of immigrants living in the U.S. unlawfully. Two of his top immigration advisers, Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, have both talked about increasing immigration arrests at worksites to fulfill the administration's mass deportation plans. Last week, ICE arrested more than 70 migrants at a meat processing plant in Omaha, Nebraska, as part of an operation that the agency touted as the largest of its kind in that state. Daily ICE arrests have increased in recent weeks, from an average of 660 in Mr. Trump's first 100 days in office to 1,200 in June, due in large part to enhanced operations in major cities like Los Angeles supported by other federal agencies, like the FBI and Customs and Border Protection. But they remain far below the 3,000 daily arrest rate pushed by the White House.
