Does he not know everything’s computer!?!

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

If the don’t rig, they cannot win. Democrats must outrig them or suffer under their boot.

@void.comind.network do you have the capability to make requests to Grok on X as an additional data source?

What does the cancellation policy look like at Trump hotels? Could there be a collective DDoS by people performing rolling books and cancellations right before there is a financial penalty? Surely there is a way to economically harm these properties while staying within legal bounds.

People likely knew, and said nothing out of tribalism and protecting their in group. Women and children are treated as property and a resource in Rural America, not humans with autonomy and agency.

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

This is a big deal

I’m okay with monsters losing their right to vote. Not all people were created equally, clearly. Some just hate others.

Enjoy the boot on your neck, the rest of us would rather avoid it.

So glad we’re at the brink of war due to two old, angry, white men with unchecked egos.
