🚨NEW: After Trump fired Kristi Noem, Governor Gavin Newsom is formally calling on the Trump administration to redirect the remaining funds from Noem’s $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign to LA fire survivors.

While Kristi Noem funneled $220M in taxpayer funds into self-promoting political ads, she refused to distribute $500M+ in FEMA funding for LA Fire survivors.

The Trump Administration must immediately release that relief and redirect those wasted ad dollars to recovery efforts.

I'm glad Trump could get a break from creating a regional war. That can take a toll on a guy.

We could be lowering the cost of health care, but instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on his reckless war with Iran.

Trump is blowing YOUR taxpayer dollars on war & causing gas prices to spike while he's at it.

Maria Bartiromo's spin about the terrible February jobs report would make anchors in Pyongyang blush -- here she is blaming the weather and saying "we need to see these tankers go and not be afraid to travel through the Strait of Hormuz"

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.

January "is always messy. It's the month after the holidays. People are returning stuff, etcetera etcetera."

-- Maria Bartiromo, unearthing this important new piece of information to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

lmao Maria & co are coping HARD about a terrible report: "If you bought stocks on April 2 of last year on so-called 'Liberation Day' you are up huuuuge ... for January, I think this is important -- the revision is only 4,000 down. Overall you have a stable jobs market. There's a silver lining here"

"So, we have a negative number for February non-farm payroll. A loss. We're also seeing the unemployment rate tick up" -- DUN DUN DUN: Maria Bartiromo and company cope with a dire jobs report

(Note that Bartiromo immediately blames "AI efficiencies")

Some free political advice for Democrats: saying "the countries of the Middle East need to pick up the tab", when almost all of them didn't want this war in the first place and are already paying an enormous tab because of it, is a horrible message to American allies right now

The countries of the Middle East need to pick up the tab. I am not voting for more tax dollars.

JACOBS: Are we at war with Iran?

COLBY: We're in a military action

JACOBS: Yesterday, Trump said 'we're doing very well on the war front' and previously he said, 'we should expect casualties because that often happens in war.' So is he wrong?

COLBY: I'm not the right person to weigh in

Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud It'd be laughable if people weren't getting hurt.

New in PN: Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud

"It's bad enough that the campaign against MN is driven by gutter racism. Just as shocking is that this president, who spent a lifetime running scams & swindles, says with a straight face that he wants to fight fraud. And that Vance is the man to do it."

Honestly, the payoff here is when he imitates what he assumes people are reading when they read. He assumes it is about pirates.
