Analysts were left shocked Wednesday after ADP released its latest jobs report that showed private employers had shed 32,000 jobs in September, a stark contrast to the expected gain of around 50,000 jobs.

“Very disappointing, it was a weak number; this is private sector jobs for September, the total comes in negative 32,000,” said CNBC host Sara Eisen on Wednesday.

According to retired United States Army Lt. General Mark Hertling, there is a strong possibility that members of the military leadership who listened to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s controversial speech in Quantico, Virginia, walked away planning ways to ignore some of his demands.

Speaking with the co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Hertling, who earlier claimed Donald Trump was “rattled” by the cool response from the military professionals in attendance, said what Hegseth was ordering them to do would violate the oath they took in the service of their country.

According to a former general who spoke with former colleagues at the gathering in Quantico, Virginia, where Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed the military leadership of the U.S., the president was knocked off his stride by the cool response he received.

Appearing on MSNBC, retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, now a military analyst for the network, claimed Trump is used to adoring crowds — and the stoic response from the military professionals “rattled” him.

President Donald Trump highlighted a moment on social media that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) described as the "strangest" part of his meeting at the White House.

Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) met with the president Monday at the Oval Office with their Republican counterparts, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, along with Vice President JD Vance in an unsuccessful attempt to stave off a government shutdown.

New video of a top Justice Department official ordering the arrest of a Democratic mayor during a protest at an immigration detention facility could create serious problems for top brass, a former New York prosecutor said Tuesday.

In the video, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche orders Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka arrested — a directive previously only alleged in court documents.

President Donald Trump's nomination for Commissioner of Labor Statistics is reportedly coming to an end.

Last month, Trump nominated E.J. Antoni for the role after firing Erika McEntarfer for releasing economic data he didn't like. The nomination faced immediate controversy over Antoni's lack of experience and partisanship.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparked concerns with his unusual order summoning hundreds of military commanders to Virginia for an all-hands meeting — but it the speech by President Donald Trump that left onlookers really confused.

The president and his Pentagon chief pledged to end "woke" and "politically correct" policies they believe had undermined military readiness, but neither speech seemed to justify the extraordinary order summoning the top brass from posts around the world to a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, in the eyes of many observers.

Retired Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson had nothing but scathing words on CNN Tuesday morning for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's all-hands speech to generals and admirals who had been called off their assignments from around the world to hear him speak — an event other experts have warned is an unnecessary security risk.

"Have you heard anything that constitutes a change, or an announcement or a reason to be addressing the group in the room today?" asked anchor John Berman.
