VARNEY: 8,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in May. That's not what you wanted to see. CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady. VARNEY: But how could we're losing those jobs? CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady.

Since day 1, Pam Bondi has treated DOJ like a political weapon That’s why we @democracydefendersfund.org & a coalition of legal experts have filed a complaint with the FL Bar The nation’s top lawyer must be held to the highest standards—no Trumpery allowed!

I spent time in Seminole, Texas, after a deadly measles outbreak tore through. I came back with a story about anti-vaccine activists who exploited the crisis, outmatched doctors and public health officials working to contain it — and a community left to bear the cost. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
