Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for daring to report bad news, so now the BLS is dutifully fudging the numbers to report job GAINS when in fact they are LOSSES. Who says? The chair of the Fed. Someone should investigate.

I imagine Judge Currie gnashing her teeth at this framing in the NY Times. She ruled with utter clarity that Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed as US Attorney and “has been unlawfully serving in that role since September 22, 2025.” She ruled that "all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan's defective appointment” are invalid.
