Quick reminder to my American friends that 5calls.org is still here, ready to help channel your grief and rage into three(!) short calls to your elected representatives. It just takes 5 minutes, and it really is healthier (and more effective) than doomscrolling. Plus you'll feel better afterwards.

I figured it was a matter of time before the US joined the list of countries whose economic statistics were no longer reliable.
Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month.
The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/Hy0ihvh

And there are things to be considered…

I'm so proud of my son Elliot, who dropped his first official album today. Yes, I'm his mom and biggest fan -- but I can also be his biggest critic. And I gotta say, this album is really great, and worth a listen: full of lyrical heartbreak and wry humor. Enjoy. music.apple.com/us/album/bet...
