Oh, no, please. Go to Canada. We're now listening to @maddow.msnbc.com talk about the daughter of a South Korean Episcopal priest in NY, who's a pharmacy student, being kidnapped and disappeared. No one is safe. Literally, no one is safe.

US is the only country facing tourism decline as Trump policies to cost $29 billion in visitor revenue: study
Study from World Travel & Tourism Council looked at the economic impact of tourism in 184 countries
It's not just Vegas.
βThis is a wake-up call for the U.S. government,β Julia Simpson, president and CEO of WTTC, said in a statement in May. βWhile other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the βclosedβ sign.β

Las Vegas is feeling the impact of Trumpβs anti-immigration agenda
βThis industry cannot function without immigrant workers,β warned one Sin City union leader
We could have seen this coming. A tiny quote:
"Nevertheless, Pappageorge said visits from Canadian and Mexican customers specifically had "fallen off a cliff", while Latino visitors are "fearful and nervous"."

Economists have been expressing concern about the accuracy of economic statistics coming out of the Trump administration for months.
Here you go, yet again. @hcrichardson.bsky.social brings receipts, per usual. The economic & jobs data are fantasy. It's actually far worse than we thought. The economy started weakening almost immediately. And Trump's dementia is undeniable now.

Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report
Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."
Okay, earlier today I post an @npr.org article stating the economy grew at 3% . . . that I had trouble believing because I felt I couldn't trust the numbers the government gave. Here you go. This person was fired for telling the truth.

Actually, statistically speaking, the odds that the vote tally that was certified in all 7 swing states happened organically, all by itself, without interference . . . is near impossible. Much higher than picking all 6 MegaMillion's jackpot lottery numbers.
