“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡
Washington Post under Trump: "151,000 jobs is solid"
Washington Post under Biden: "194,000 jobs is another weak month"
My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Spot on.
Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.
SpaceX: Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn.
Everyone else: It blew up.
This is what it looks like when you lose a massive spacecraft on its way to orbit right over the Caribbean. Lots of commercial flights turning/holding/diverting to avoid falling debris from SpaceX's Starship.
This video illustrates the magnitude and cruelty of the firestorm in LA, for us lucky ones that have never seen anything like it.

Dear @dcpublicschools.bsky.social: You know you want to preemptively declare a snow day for Monday. Don’t even think of it as a snow day; it’s experiential learning on meteorology, physics (sledding), and the human form (making snowmen). Do you want to disappoint the kids? DO YOU? ☃️
The prices of everything are so maddening right now. I just missed the $66 Acela train so am paying $87 for the regional train. The next later train was briefly priced at $15 — a steal — but is now $47. Remember when we thought Uber’s pricing was confusing?
