The headline jobs numbers are almost uniformly weak. I would discount some due to shutdown and Federal retirements. But only some.
41K jobs added in Oct & Nov
4.6% unemployment rate in Nov, up from 4.4% in Sep
Private wage growth slowed
Labor force participation rose

My favorite part of the NYT coverage of the VF interviews: pretending that Susie Wiles is SO close to DJT that he called her Susie Trump. Ha ha ha. The more likely explanation is that he couldn’t remember her actual name.

There’s a lot of evidence in this Susie Wiles interview that she knows she’s been the handmaiden for some awful, possibly criminal, policies, and she’s trying to assemble her own defense in advance of any future investigations.

Even the replies from the cultists on Truth Social are overwhelmingly negative about Trump’s Reiner post. Of course, as usual, some are blaming his advisers for it - like this one blaming Susie Wiles.

In Amherst, New York, an ICE raid on a roofing crew resulted in one worker being slammed into a snowbank and kidnapped. Another worker, who posed no threat, was threatened at gunpoint while standing on the roof.

This is the fifth GOP congressperson I’ve seen criticizing Trump’s post on Rob Reiner, and the first who isn’t either leaving the House (MTG, Bacon), a frequent critic (Massie), or in a swing district (Lawler).
