So “Trump” just made a “deal” with “Britain.” Trying to emulate his style, with random quotation marks. I GUESS I SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A SENTENCE IN BLOCK CAPS. Anyway, the deal was almost substance-free. The goal of policy seems to be to goose the market for a few days, with no long-term plan.

Economists are waking up to the fact that today's job numbers are bogus. The Musk/Trump admin excluded the 275,000 laid off federal employees from the report, claiming they're not unemployed because they got a severance package.

Justice-elect Susan Crawford’s victory over Brad Schimel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump marks a sea change in American politics. The fight back has begun. This is a thread about what just happened—and a huge thank you to those who drove it. 🧵

Florence is Wisconsin's most Republican county, and the state's second smallest. Trump won there by 75-25. Just 783 D votes. But every vote matters. In 2019, GOP won a state Supreme Court race by 5,960 votes. Only 288 D votes in Florence County. That D turnout shift: 10% of the statewide margin.
