Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

🤔To estimate how long it might take Iran to "surrender unconditionally," maybe we can use Afghanistan as a proxy?

Afghanistan's army was 100K people. Iran's is 600K. So maybe we should look at how long it took to get Afghanistan to surrender unconditionally, and then multiply that by 6?

Why, it’s almost like it might be in Iran’s direct interest to inflict damage so bad
and globally destructive, in such a critical area of the world, that America could not dream of ever attacking it again

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Bar graph showing responses to question "Would you support or oppose abolishing ICE?" from The Economist/You Gov from June 2025 and late Feb-early March 2026. Total support for abolishing rose 23 points, among Dems 30 points, among independents 23 points, among Republicans 14 points.

Public opinion is not fixed.

And it's the job of a campaign to move people.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

“I don’t know if he wants a complete regime change, but he does want an America which is much more religious, much more closed. It’s not just isolationism in the Pat Buchanan sense; it’s a superreligious project.”

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

GS: Our estimate of the underlying pace of job growth now stands at 37k, below our 60-70k estimate of the breakeven pace needed to keep the unemployment rate stable.

We estimate real retail sales declined at a 0.9% three-month annualized rate through January.

1. Emil Bove should not be a federal judge.
2. What a surprise that one of Bove's early majority opinions is a "reverse discrimination" case.
3. Concurring to your own majority opinion should be illegal, or, at least, you should only get one a career.
4. He really does not sound bright.
