Wonder how bad it really is - remember Trump revamped BLS and how numbers are rolled up.
That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.
Wow, I needed this today. Thank you
Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute
Here is my beef with the dinner - half a dozen kids killed in Louisiana in the past week without a peep from the press yet a gunman breaks thru outer perimeter and is apprehended and the press (because they were personally impacted) will keep this situation, where no one died, front page for a week.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Holy smokes Seth Moulton just rocked it on MS Now with Alex Witt. Every member of Congress should follow his lead on this murder/execution of an American on our streets. Calling out the GOP cowards and Steven Miller as a terrorist was fire. Well done Seth, send some of your awesome energy to Schumer
WTF America, ICE murdered another Minnesotan, and Congress wants to keep funding this Bullshit?
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

📌If we can agree fascism is here, there is only one question worth asking: Just what in the hell do we intend to do about it? A chilling look at where we are, and what we and our so-called leaders MUST do next …

I'm with @pearlmania500.bsky.social on this, and just as angry—as we all should be. A wife and mom was murdered by an incompetent ICE agent, and the first thing the government does is vilify her—labeling her a domestic terrorist. Do not let this go, America. #EverybodysBlack #ReneeGood 😢

Well I was a few weeks ahead of my time but in predictable fashion Dems caved again. I hope the media has microphones pushed into every Dem Senator’s face asking specifically why and what is the realistic path to retaining healthcare subsidies? Hint: there is none
Prediction (safe one I might add): Schumer and Jeffries cave today on funding, saying Trump promised to fund healthcare and other priorities, only to have Trump “defund it” via executive order. They will get played for fools yet again.
