Sun wasn't out, signs out! We were out in style yesterday- layers and hand/toe warmers. It was 24 degrees (though it felt colder) but thankfully it was not too windy. We even had a chat with a friendly Tesla owner. All that and hot chocolate, too!

A Spanish naval vessel will join the Global Sumud Flotilla to provide assistance and, if necessary, conduct rescues, says Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez.
Italy earlier announced it was dispatching a frigate after a night of drone attacks on the flotilla opposed by the Israeli gov't.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.
They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.
one thing that keeps happening is Trump taking major steps which impose large, often asymmetric costs on American business, and American business doing fucking nothing in response
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
