US Disabilities Hit an All-Time High of 37 Million In July: UP 23% Since Feb 2021!
The Signal No One Wants To See
The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data is out, and the number of Americans ages 16 and over reporting a disability has hit a new all-time high of roughly 37 million. As of July 2026, the Current Population Survey series sits at 37,029,000. That’s not a rounding error or a seasonal blip. It’s the continuation of a trend that broke higher more than five years ago and has refused to mean-revert.

Demographic change is cultural change, and Minnesota is living it.
Rep. Brandon Gill put the household numbers on the record. In Minnesota, 81% of Somali-headed households are on welfare. 54% are on food stamps. 73% are on Medicaid. After ten years in the country, 78% of Somali immigrant households are still on welfare.
Somalis always brag about how they “enrich” America with their culture. That culture is bananas, rice, and a dance where they whip their heads back and forth as fast as they can. lmao
