@edels0n If he's saying the employment numbers are weak, then since employment is half of the Fed's mandate, he should be cutting interest rates. We need a Fed chair with an actual economics background.

Jerome Powell today: “If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector."

BREAKING: FCC Chair Brendan Carr confirms that they would’ve gone after CBS if Colbert put his interview with Talarico on TV. Case closed. That’s all you need to know.

Four years ago Bill Gates went on TV telling the world that people had “no chance” avoiding the COVID shot, claiming the vaccinated wouldn’t transmit and the unvaccinated would “endanger their grandparents.” Every single claim turned out to be false. All of it. And yet he walked away without a single consequence.

@David_J_Bier Illegal immigrants are not net positive when you account for their drain on government services. I was not aware of "cutting legal immigration by half." Do you have a source for that number?

Illegal immigrants are fiscally positive, more fiscally positive than comparable legal immigrants. Also, in case you missed it, the administration has banned ~half of all legal immigrants. x.com/JeffreyVButler…
RealEconomist@JeffreyVButler

@David_J_Bier Conveniently conflates legal and illegal immigration. Very few people are against legal immigration. On the other hand, a country without borders is not a country.

In my 34 years at the Justice Department, I never saw anything remotely as un-American as this sad, dark spectacle. This man is destroying our most sacred American institutions.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

They just put up a giant Trump banner on the Department of Justice building. No more pretending. The DOJ is working for Trump, prosecuting his enemies and covering for his corruption, not upholding the law or serving the American people. Impeach!

FCC Chair @BrendanCarrFCC just absolutely scorched legacy media in wake of Talarico/Colbert stunt: “Yesterday is why the American people have more trust in gas station sushi than they do in the national news media.”

@PurpleVIKodin @literaryeric Not that long ago AIDS was killing gay men and "gay bashing" was a common fear among the lgbtq population ( recall Morrissey's line " a brick in the back of the head again.") What is the current "troubling time" that the lgbtq population is experiencing?

@JeffreyVButler Have you watched the whole presser? I bet not. She doesn’t say those exact words, but the team goes on and on at the beginning about how special it is to be a part of team USA and perform at the Olympics. But that’s boring so it isn’t news. youtu.be/kdarTgC46lA
