Wow— Republican Rep. Carl DeMaio hung a curveball over the fat part of the plate and Newsom’s crew was waiting on it and hit it into the Pacific Ocean 👀

They are not playing. Goodnight Carl.

Put an economic moron in charge, get a failing economy.
Not only is today’s employment report uniquely bad, but revisions to the prior months show that, on average, we have seen 35k net new jobs created for the last 3 months:

JAN: +111K
FEB: +102K
MAR: +120K
APR: +158K
MAY: +19K
JUN: +14K
JUL: +73K

No way to put lipstick on this pig.

And now, Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma school superintendent who (among other morality-boosting moves) wanted to put Trump bibles into every classroom. But he failed, apparently, to close an, erm, browser window during a board meeting

I agree with Justin here. It’s a tell
It might give you a sense of the White House's own fears that the letters were dated yesterday, but they waited until Saturday morning -- when the markets are closed -- to actually release them.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Even more to the point, Treasuries usually rally even when the United States is the source of the downturn - see also: the financial crisis. That they’re not now is really bad
Normally, U.S. Treasuries rally (interest rates go down) in a market downturn, because they are seen as a safe harbor. The fact that this isn’t happening is a serious red flag.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

There is no plan.

And if someone from the administration tells you there is, they’re lying to you.

Analysis: Trump’s Tariffs Disrupt Global Trade Without a Clear Strategy
The global trading system is only one example of the administration tearing something apart, only to reveal that it has no plan for how to replace it.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
