only silver lining of the last few months: the anger & angst pushed me to do stand-up. I've been doing improv for the last two years, but no standup -- until last friday when I did my first set in more than 20 years.

Rep. Jordan rightfully suggested those who lie to Congressional committees should be indicted. That's bad news for Kash Patel.

Excluding recessions, 2025 was the worst year for job growth in America in nearly a quarter-century.

But hey, look on the bright side: Donald Trump is getting a free tricked-out Boeing 747 and a fancy new mega-ballroom and a new performing-arts center to show 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙖 𝙄𝙄: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨!

Every year the BLS does a benchmark revision which incorporates new and more detailed information. This year's revision suggests that 2025 was a far worse year than earlier estimates suggested, and total job growth was less than half that suggested by the initial estimates.

My menchies show a lotta distrust about the official jobs numbers right now.

Lemme be clear: I don't believe there's *any* political meddling in these numbers.

While the President has tried to mess with the BLS, he failed. I explain in a lot more detail, here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kncV...

Not going to lie, this is happening faster than I predicted, and I’m glad that it is.
LOCKED IN John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social • 13d I think this is a real blow to Federal punishment capacity: I don't think there is enough of a pipeline of sufficiently-competent MAGA-friendly lawyers to replace them. And there's likely a growing pool of motivated defense attorneys w Fed experience and relationships w local Fed judges.

Final result in OK is 64-36 GOP win *BUT* this was a Trump+58 seat, so that's a 29-point overperformance for Dems. Also two smaller overperformances in deep-blue VA districts—but it's usually hard to run up the score in a lopsided district.

Incredible figure skater Ilia Malinin, wearing a costume in shades of brown and black, decorated with straps and buckles as well as sparkles, and with fingerless gloves. He has sort of a mane of blonde hair The Rum Tum Tugger in the original Broadway version of CATS.

I know it's cringe to be like "we are going to win" but when you have career DOJ prosecutors flipping sides and being like "I quit two weeks ago and I'm ready to burn this bitch to the ground" I don't know what else to say
