US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

Finland to allow import of nuclear weapons After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago, Finland joined NATO and has been accelerating and revamping its defense plans.

A move pretty certainly linked to the French-led efforts of an increased European nuclear deterrence

Trump’s legal war against the press The lawsuits grind on even as the president complains that lawsuits against him are distracting.

Trump is suing 6 news organizations, including the WSJ, NYT, BBC, CNN and the Des Moines Register. He’s also suing the Pulitzer Prize board over journalism prizes it awarded 8 years ago.

Why he doesn’t need to win those cases to get what he wants πŸ‘‡

A screenshot of a Fox News broadcast featuring a segment titled "U.S. Forces Use A.I. in Iran Operation." Below the screenshot, a text block explains that while Fox News presented the footage as part of the U.S. military arsenal, it actually shows the "STING" interceptor drone developed by the Ukrainian organization "Wild Hornets" (Dyki Shershni). The text notes that the Wild Hornets team pointed out the error, clarifying that their drone is designed to neutralize Iranian "Shahed" drones and requesting proper attribution for Ukrainian developers.

U.S. spending $1 billion daily; Kurdish military offensive contested; Canada discusses military involvement Plus, U.S. voters disapprove of war, and Iran has denied firing a missile toward Turkey.

There has been confusion about which groups may be involved. In Iraq, the Kurdish opposition group Komala rejected reports that the group had crossed into Iran. The Kurdish government in Iraq also denied reports of border crossings, calling them β€œpatently false.”

The strategy of sowing disruption appears to be working: oil and gas prices have surged, major facilities have shut down temporarily after drone strikes, the Strait of Hormuz has become a β€œdead zone” for shipping. But the turmoil in global energy markets could ultimately play into Moscow’s hands.
