Colorado is being told that a weather research institute is being shut down and everyone there fired because they won't release Tina Peters. It's purest, mob-style extortion. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.

These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").

Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.

This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Unemployment soared to a 4-year high of 4.6% in November, and 105,000 jobs were lost in October. Now we see why Trump wanted to delay the release of the jobs report numbers the last two months.

Rob Reiner was a magnanimous, caring, thoughtful, and gracious man.

His impact on American culture — through film, storytelling, and civic engagement — was profound. It’s devastating to lose both Rob and his wife Michele under such tragic circumstances.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
