It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest?

Tom Cotton first gained prominence in conservative circles by publicly calling for me and Eric Lichtblau to be imprisoned for our investigative stories in the New York Times. He rode his anti-press jihad into politics.
Sen Wyden just asked for unanimous consent to pass the PRESS ACT, which the House passed unanimously. As expected, Sen Cotton objected. Wyden said he'd continue to try to work with Cotton. (That means Sen Schumer hasn't decide to invoke cloture. There's zero chance Cotton gets more chill on this.)
