U.S. payrolls unexpectedly fell by 92,000 in February; unemployment rate rises to 4.4% Nonfarm payrolls were expected to increase 50,000 in February while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%.

So is Trump going to fire the new Bureau of Labor Statistics guy he just appointed last month?

For decades, GOP (and Fox) rhetoric has largely consisted of gotchas that make sense until you think about them for a millisecond. Sadly, these gotchas work. Republicans know their base won't recognize this as an apples-to-oranges comparison and will have the reaction "Checkmate, libs!"

The postponed vote comes as Trump has appointed allies to positions on the NCPC commission. Earlier this week, the NCPC executive director published a recommendation that the commission “approve the preliminary and final site and building plans for the East Wing Modernization Project, located on the grounds of the White House”.

Apparently the official name for the destruction of the East Wing and the construction of the ballroom in its place is "the East Wing Modernization Project."

So I guess 9/11 was phase 1 of the World Trade Center Modernization Project.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Almost a third of Gen Z men agree a wife should obey her husband | King's College London 31% of Gen Z men agree that a wife should always obey her husband and one third (33%) say a husband should have the final word on important decisions, according to a new global study of 23,000 people.

But only 13% of Boomer men.

Why is Fetterman so Trump-pilled? The president's approval/disapproval in Pennsylvania is an abysmal 39%/61%. (He won the state 50% to 49% in 2024.) Democrats have a 7-point generic ballot lead.

Fetterman Announces He’ll Vote to Confirm Mullin as Trump’s New DHS Secretary: ‘I Am an AYE’ Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) announced Thursday that he will be voting to confirm Markwayne Mullin as Homeland Security secretary.

Fetterman is such a pick-me.

What the fuck is the Shield of the Americas, and how does it funnel money into Trump's pocket?

(I assume it exists primarily to do that.)

nobody seems to fucking get this!!!! "the enemy gets a vote" but moreover trump/israel deliberately killed all the people at the top controlling the enemy, which does not destroy the enemy but in fact turns them into a dozen new, smaller enemies!! I feel like i'm going fucking insane

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

If Trump wants Ken Paxton out of the Texas Senate race, why doesn't he just weaponize the Justice Department against him? In Paxton's case, Trump's prosecutors could easily find actual crimes.

But I guess that treatment is only for Democrats and bureaucrats Trump doesn't like.

"Instead of incessantly accusing Democrats of being out of step with normal, decent people, why don't more Democrats talk about the edgelord bigotry of an increasing number of Republicans? Why not portray them as the party of abnormal freaks?"

Noem finding out that, no matter how hard you play, you can't win the right-wing gender game.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

Excellent flashback:

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

"I know this is a wild, crazy, out-of-the-box idea, but maybe, instead of attacking his own party every time he talks to a journalist or makes a public appearance, Rahm Emanuel could try attacking the opposition party..."

Remember: Democrats, Black People, Gay people, Trans people, Pro-choice, anti-war, anti-billionaire people are the normal ones. Bigots are weird (not in the good way).

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

So no change from Noem, in other words.

The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
