President Trump has canceled 2 economic reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to hide his economic failures. President Trump and Treasury Scott Bessent continue to gaslight the American people that prices + inflation are down. Consumer sentiment is at one of it's all time lows in history.

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
But something 'bout it felt like home somehow
And I, left my scarf there at your sister's house
And you've still got it in your drawer even now
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
But something 'bout it felt like home somehow

Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again

You’ve watched @netflix.com Death By Lightning and now you need a recap podcast that focuses on Chester Arthur wherein the 7th episode @matterickson.bsky.social and I *interview Scott Greenberger, author of *the* modern Chet biography The Unexpected President!*

If you also love the obscure interests of smart people, news eps are up of Chet By Lightning, the podcast where @thematterickson.bsky.social and I dissect all things Chester A Arthur related in Death By Lightning, the @netflix.com show about the Garfield assassination. WAY more fun than it sounds.

If your favorite obscure president has been Chester A. Arthur since the Chester A. Arthur Middle School Incident of 1997… and then Netflix drops Death by Lightning, what do you do?
