"The latest employment report just came out... and this is my worried face."
No one could have predicted that starting a trade war would lead to the loss of jobs.

🗞️The state of Trump’s disastrous presidency on one front page this morning.
He has done nothing but bring misery to the United States and the entire world.
After a year of berating and humiliating Ukraine, we could really use their help with drone warfare.
Irony of ironies. 🇺🇦

VARNEY: If you add it all up, it doesn't look good for the Trump economy
LABOR SECRETARY LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: I couldn't agree with you. Overall, we've gained 60,000 new jobs over the last two months
Oh man we are HAVING A NEWS DAY I see

Thread on jobs…
Manufacturing jobs fell again, down 12,000 between January and February 2026. Since January 2025, the manufacturing sector has lost 100,000 jobs. I repeat: The manufacturing sector lost 100k jobs since Trump took office.

Job losses in Feb were most acute in health care, due to striking workers who have since gone back to work. Notable losses as well in leisure and hospitality and educational services. Job were added in financial activities and social assistance. On net, 92k job losses for Feb.

kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.
The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations. That was short of January's gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see.

7 year old student from the California School for the deaf Fremont was kidnapped by ICE along with his mom, an asylee, and his sibling. ICE has removed them from CA.
A move pretty certainly linked to the French-led efforts of an increased European nuclear deterrence

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.
He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere — not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.
Glad they’re making an effort to integrate drones into the battalions. Tho, I wonder how well drones will do in inclement weather, high & gusty winds, etc. or volley airbursts.
…no bulldozers in an attached division engineer slice or organic battalion? Not talking D7’s, maybe just D5’s? For defense? Nevermind running a tank ditch, just digging holes. Even for the security zone. Eh, they’ll figured it out.
Interesting. Though…I do question whether they’ll have enough comms units for retrans given 40 km area, how kuch DIVARTY is also going, some time-distance challenges for strikes against a mobile mechanized force, integrating drones for ranged strike against fast mech, and…
"Western civilization" has always been a fictional identity group with no real meaning beyond contrived political purposes, but it is especially weird to see this kind of talk from an admin that hates NATO, hates European allies, and hates well, western civilization.

Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work
Our policy toward Ukraine is not only shameful but also very, very stupid.
BREAKING NYT:
Lindsey Halligan, the ex-U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against Trump's enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida's bar association, according to a letter the organization sent last month.
The potential for the Iran War to lead to the extreme destabilization of Iraq, up to and including something like civil war or even Iranian incursions over the border, has been an under-discussed element of the current crisis.
Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency?
Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?
