Breaking news: U.S. employers created 911,000 fewer jobs from April 2024 through March 2025 than initial reports showed.
The revisions are the latest significant change to labor market data, which has faced heightened scrutiny under President Trump.

BLS revises jobs numbers down by 911,000 in annual revision
The revisions arrive as government statistics have become increasingly politicized. Last month, Trump took the unprecedented step of firing the BLS commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, over weak jobs data.

PeeWee German has spoken
Stephen Miller on Gov. J.B. Pritzker calling for mass protests:
“His comments…could be construed as inciting violence…This war that Democrat governors and mayors are waging against federal law enforcement. I mean, this is nullificationist behavior. This is secessionist behavior.”

False claims by Elon Musk and his U.S. DOGE Service about dead people getting benefits have led to a new effort to move millions of names to the Death Master File — increasing the odds that more people who are alive will inadvertently be declared dead, according to officials at the agency.
When government thinks you’re dead, it upends lives. DOGE may make it worse.
Elon Musk’s team has moved millions of Social Security numbers into the agency’s deaths database, potentially raising the risk of errors.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well
This is basically conceding that the executive branch is sentencing random people to death with no due process or ability to reverse an error
UPDATE: Trump seems to say for the first time that U.S. lacks ability to recover those sent to El Salvador if government deports someone erroneously. Says it’s totally up to Bukele. Seems to leave out that he could … ask Bukele to help fix an error. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
