Man wrongfully deported to CECOT: The conditions were awful. We slept in a metal can. There were 2 water troughs with pipes that carried waste. And we had to basically eat on top of them. The water that we used for bathing was the same water for drinking. We endured physical and psychological abuse

Former BLS Commissioner: The BLS is not a politicized place at all. I saw no evidence that the staff is doing any anything else except their highly professional job. I'm very familiar with the processes behind this report, and I saw no evidence whatsoever that the numbers were unexpected

Fox: Let's talk about today's jobs number. The more you drill down on ot, the uglier it gets. One thing that leaps out to me, 360,000 fewer full-time jobs. What gives?

Fox: We expected to see job creation of 75,000 last month. Instead, just 22,000 jobs were added. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%. That is a 4 year high. Investors dug a bit deeper into the numbers and saw things they clearly did not like. The S&P down 31 points, NASDAQ down 52.

Andor nails it — Many of Nazism's earliest supporters ended up in the camps. The man who wrote 'First They Came For' was an anti-communist Minister who cheered the incarceration of socialists. The poem is a warning about the dangers of supporting authoritarianism that you think works for you.

🚨 Larger class sizes
🚨 Less support for struggling kids.

As others have pointed out (and as I clocked myself) it’s extremely disconcerting to see Nazis write about a “final” anything.
NEW—Dept of Ed staff received an email from Sec. McMahon tonight with the subject, “Our Department’s Final Mission.”
McMahon writes that plan is, “to send education back to the states.” Notably doesn’t mention executive order like earlier draft, but some think it’s still coming.
