The White House and Donald Trump can do their best to hide job statistics from the America public, but there is a multitude of private sources that will tell the tale.
I think it's pretty obvious why they want economic data kept hidden.

Here's what I think will unfold over the next week or so:
1) Mike Johnson will swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva tonight.
2) She will be the 218th and final signature on the Epstein Files discharge petition.
3) REPUBLICANS will ultimately squash the bill in the Senate.

I must say I'm enjoying the 'end the filibuster' chant taking place now on that 'other' platform.
That should work really well for Democrats after the 2026 election! A Democratic agenda passed without Republican interference!
