No offense to Trump, who tries his best, but Putin is clearly the alpha sociopath of the duo.

Perhaps unpopular opinion — if you’ve been covering business and the economy for 25 years, you don’t have to cite “economists say” to state the truth — that firing the commissioner of the BLS is a bad thing.

Also and while I’m at it — if you don’t say tariffs are taxes on US importers and consumers when citing the revenue the government celebrates that hey’ve brought in, you’re not credible.

Ghislaine Maxwell was flagged with a Public Safety Factor (PSF), making her ineligible for a minimum-security camp. That designation was waived?
How does a convicted human trafficker get such special treatment?
When Trump said he’d protect women, no one guessed he meant women like her.

Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That happened here.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

I’ve found that people calling Social Security offices wait an average of nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes, with some people waiting over 3 hours for help.
The Social Security Administration isn’t sharing data about the extent of the problem. I’m asking for answers.
