BREAKING: In her first statement since being publicly fired for “reporting the numbers”, Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer states:
“I’m glad there was no window in the room. I highly recommend that my replacements stay away from rooms with windows.“

Yes. Totally normal. These numbers are always revised. And its not a big deal that it’s a big revision so long as its not out of line with what are expecting. Keep in mind that market numbers are all about directionalities.

No. Numbers are always revised snd it’s not at all unusual.
But come on, like anyone thought mass firings, killing research and innovation, weakening dollar and uncertainty plus tariff taxes and destroying our brand globally was going to be good for employment numbers. Really??

President Trump did indeed sign many executive orders live on television while taking questions from reporters.

Autism is a neurotype. Only sometimes is it a disorder.
Some autists meet the definition Autistic Spectrum Disorder but many do not. You may satisfy the criteria for an ASD dx at some point but not others.

Confirm for this one. No better way than saying I like you & asking on a date (even better—outside of dating specific apps). No cologne is great, unique style more attractive than typical date night guy attire but admit love a guy in a well cut or actually fitting suit too.

So core protected constitutional conduct. If you can’t criticize your elected leaders or those of another country—especially when your government is providing them with arms, you don’t live in a democracy.
And the constitution is in effect null and void. Advocating otherwise is to be fighting against America and this country as a nation of laws.
Violence is one thing. But protest and criticism is not that. And collective punishment is wrong—morally, pragmatically and otherwise.
Has Trump pushed to allow food in yet? Israel is starving people. Right now. That is a war crime. And it’s not self defense. Though it may be part of a genocidal crime against humanity, ethnic cleansing of a real estate deal…
When the president violates the constitution and the rights of all Americans in trying to twist public displays of dissent into anti-terrorism anything… well, need read those statutes but pretty sure Trump fits under them a lot more squarely than do those exercising their constitutionally protected
free speech rights, among other things…

Good. He (presumably) just sold a ton of his gift/bribe that was truth social stock. Wonder if Giuliani’s defamation victims are able to get at before he flees country. I wish them luck.

Should be. This is not a downtown. We will be so lucky if only a recession.
This is dismantling the very basis for American prosperity in a permanent and irreversible way.
And bye bye all national security too. Russia is invited into our digital everything right now—and that kind of harm does’t limit itself to government servers and databases either. And the dollar?
Yeah. America is occupied by a hostile force right now to my mind.

He has alienated us from all our allies, killed American arms and defense industry in large part, maybe forever, isolated us such that no longer have intelligence sharing except for our opening up whatever we have and the whole digital empire really to Russia and proposed zero policies that would help the not already wealthy get by much less get rich—whether waging a bloody war of conquest against Greenland or not.
Wild how him, Musk & Vance are singularly responsible for unilaterally destroying 75 years of alliances in the post Word War II era and essentially switched sides to to the side of dictators and authoritarians mid war and now claims will still keep you safe.
He is baldy lying to you. Have not been this unsafe in a long while and will be a very hard road to recover from the damage wrought by Trumpism.

Yes, we should. Annul the presidential election already. On basis of illegal voter suppression. Or foreign interference. Or Musk’s digital ballot fraud (enabled by 200+ bomb threats from Russia).

That is violating first amendment and also a kind of prior restraint on legislators that amounts to on its face unconstitutional corralling of legislators, thus depriving the public of their democratic representation too.
Especially foreboding because are gearing up to do mask bans and treat those who have a problem with indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinians or basically any criticism whatsoever of Israeli policy and actions as antisemitism or even supporting terrorism. It is not.
Really wish Dems in office and republicans of good conscience would recognize that this is what is happening.

He can. And for new crimes too. Those occurring since Jan 6th. And those in relation to the 2024 election.
And his coconspirators too. Material accessories to treason too.
For any and all of it. In any state court. In any federal court.
We are a nation of laws. As is the right and privilege of a free people. We rule ourselves through the rule of law. Government of the people for the people per the constitution.

John Oliver is the best news programming and journalism on TV (or cable) in the US right now to my mind.
