It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Lawyer up, FIFA
Trump’s aides demanded that FIFA’s made-up “peace prize” awarded to him be literally as big as the World Cup.

The White House gave FIFA a list of demands regarding the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, which was invented by FIFA president Gianni Infantino to present to Trump.

I want to raise a few issues with this ...

- The unemployment rate was 4.6% in Nov 2025.

- There are 982,000 more unemployed people in Nov 2025 than in Jan 2025.

- There are 271,000 fewer federal government employees.

- 982,000 > 271,000. More than 3 times more unemployed.

Employment growth since “Liberation Day” has been very close to zero, and — based on Powell’s predictions for data corrections — potentially negative.
