Aaron RuparTAPPER: You said this was 'strongest job market in your lifetime.' By what metric? HASSETT: If you look at overall economy, things are booming T: 2 million jobs were created in the last 18 months of Biden's term. Are you really arguing your numbers are better? H: We'll have to follow up by email
Remember when Doug Burgum was touted as one of the sensible Republicans? At the Dept. of Interior, he's surrounded by a toxic, hyper-ideological leadership team, paranoia & secrecy & document shredding are rampant, career staff are stampeding out the door, & incompetence rules the day.

Bhattachrya has never acknowledged he got Covid wrong. In March 2020, he said it was more likely that the disease would kill 20,000 than 2 million. Big oops there. And now he refuses to acknowledge RFK Jr.'s disinformation about the Covid vaccine. Instead, he whines that he himself was "censored."
Trump's NIH pick made a big mistake on CovidHe still won't admit that he misread the danger.www.motherjones.comAaron RuparThis is not going well for Bhattacharya 😬 BHATTACHARYA: Talk about misinformation: the decisions during the pandemic led to many people losing faith in public health BRENNAN: Trump admin officials BHATTACHARYA: No. I mean Biden.

They're just coming right out and saying it. When body camera footage makes them look bad, no one sees it. When it serves a proagandistic purpose, everyone sees it.
American OversightICE is planning to make sure field agents have body cams by the end of September. But its policy to only release footage that is in the agency’s “best interest” means taxpayers may be paying millions for cameras without benefitting from their oversight. apnews.com/article/ice-...
New in PN: How everyday Americans are forced to fund Trump's corruption "A Public Notice-American Doom analysis shows Trump is spending nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his many renovation projects. Meanwhile, Trump and his family’s crypto schemes have raked in more than $2.25b."

Ross Douthat is a victim. As a well-paid regular columnist at the country's premier newspaper, with anything he wants to say widely distributed, he was repressed. Silenced. And did you know America had civic and educational collapse around 2015? Where, exactly? Uh... don't ask, he's rolling. 8/x

Teachers don't get laid off in the summer, their salaries are year round, Kevin. That's as dumb as "solar power doesn't work at night". Idiotic and willfully ignorant.
Aaron RuparHassett on why the economy lost 50,000 government jobs: "It was one of those weird seasonal things. Because there was a lot of snow in the winter, a lot of schools had to stay open longer for the snow days, so the teachers got laid off in July instead of the end of June. Heheheh."
Very important that Cassidy has an opportunity to publicly convey his self pity.

One of the things going in the new citizenship EO is a redefinition of "alien enemy." Under this new definition, alleged members of various LATAM criminal groups designated as FTOs would be "alien enemies" (think of the folks sent to CECOT) and their US born kids would not be deemed US citizens.
The Trump admin has terminated billions of dollars in DOE grid resilience and innovation grants in blue states and is "ghosting" billions more, disrupting valuable work at utilities in red and blue states alike. Here are a few of their stories: www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol... #energysky

Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution
WIREDOver the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Senator Ron WydenBombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

This law firm was just awarded a $150 million/year contract to lead representation of unaccompanied minors through immigration proceedings. Seems really bad!
Corey Rayburn YungIn addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/
