Pointing at abstract statistics and telling struggling people the economy was actually roaring didn’t work for Biden when the numbers were real, it’s going to be even harder for Trump when the numbers are fake

The very clear message is that the BLS head will be fired if they do not produce numbers that meet Trump's approval.
In related news, these are the last set of BLS job numbers we can assume have not been doctored.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

Been wondering when this would happen, and I even had a feeling it would be BLS. If the numbers suck, just make some up. Of course that fucks with all manner of important things that rely on government data, but it's not like these guys give a shit www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after weak jobs report

I don't think Trump cares anywhere near as much about his poll numbers as he cares about being mocked. His ego can't handle it.
The real reason the WH is raging at "The View" and "South Park" is they know it's lethal for Trump that he's increasingly becoming a diminished, widely mocked figure in the culture, says @amandamarcotte.bsky.social.

the Dem base right now is flailing and angry and they will latch onto whoever most convinces them that they will fight back and stop playing by the normal rules

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

The Supreme Court is out of control. To allow the president, without any explanation, to unilaterally dismantle agencies created by an Act of Congress is to endow the president with sovereignty. There is no justification, because they haven’t given one. Our country is in big trouble.
