President Trump just shook hands with Bill and Hillary Clinton before sitting down to lunch in the Capitol's Statuary Hall.by Steve Holland via twitter 1/20/2017 6:40:15 PM -
There were those who felt institutions of power and privilege in this country were deeply entrenched. and yet, all of you came together in small towns and great cities and a whole bunch of you really young. and you decided to believe. And you knocked on doors and you made phone calls. It was hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty. You proved the power of hope. We have been the face, sometimes the voice out front on TV screens in front of the microphone, but this has never been about us. It has always been about you.

Heather Long, 2,000 GM workers to lose jobs on Trump Inauguration Day, CNN(GM) announced Tuesday it would invest heavily in the U.S., generating about 2,000 "new and retained" factory jobs in the coming years. Trump cited it as another example of how he's delivering "big stuff" for America, although GM said the plans had been in the works for awhile.
But that doesn't help workers in Lordstown and Lansing. Those 2,000 workers are still losing their jobs now, GM confirmed. On top of that, another 1,300 factory workers in Detroit are scheduled to get the ax in March.
