Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Cliffy's last call, last slo-mo demonstration of someone's strokes. That was one incredible, long career in the booth 🥰

I'm really going to miss Cliffy & Mary Joe breaking down a player's strokes: serve, BH or FH shown in slo-mo for those of us who would never spot these things. Thanks for everything, Cliffy!

Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them. It’s up to all of us to vote for leaders in every election who will make our healthcare system better, not undermine it. Call your member of Congress and hold them accountable.
Republicans are quietly rolling back Obamacare. Here’s how | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are no longer promising to repeal Obamacare, but that doesn’t mean they have given up efforts to take down the landmark health reform law.

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Nothing makes sense, but I'll add this anyway...

When preliminary payrolls numbers overestimated job growth under Biden—and were later revised down—Trumpland claimed this was the BLS trying to prop up the President.

Today he interprets it as the BLS is trying to undermine him.
