After weak jobs data, Trump fired the head of labor stats
Cracks in the U.S. economy appeared to emerge this morning when the Labor Department’s monthly report showed a significant slowdown in hiring. Economists suggested that a variety of factors could have contributed to the cooling, including federal job cuts, immigration crackdowns and seesawing tariff announcements.However, President Trump implied that Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was manipulating the data for political reasons and fired her.
McEntarfer was appointed to her post by Joe Biden in 2023 and confirmed in 2024 by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in the Senate, after a long government career in which she served under presidents of both parties, including Trump.
Trump’s labor secretary said the firing would “ensure the American People can trust” the government’s jobs data. Others disagreed: “If you want people to stop trusting the numbers,” one economist said, “firing the person who is confirmed by the Senate to make sure those numbers are trustworthy is a real good way to do it.”

This is going to have some type of blowback
I wouldn't hold your breath.
That’s scary B you’re talking to. He really is delusional
What happened to the ships story that was supposed to happen a few months back?
It’s meant to be ironic. The guy hired to count jobs loses his job. It’s classic British humor.
The president only likes strength and to have a weak number made him expendable.

Trump ordered subs closer to Russia
The president said today that he had “ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned” in regions within reach of Russia. It was a rare threat of nuclear escalation that he said was prompted by online threats from Russia’s former president, Dmitri Medvedev.Medvedev, who often serves as something of an online attack dog for the Kremlin, had said that Trump should picture the apocalyptic television series “The Walking Dead” and referred to the Soviet Union’s system for launching a last-ditch, automatic nuclear strike. However, U.S. nuclear submarine movements are among the military’s most closely held maneuvers, so it will most likely prove impossible to know if Trump is truly repositioning the submarines.
In related news, Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, blamed “inflated expectations” for frustration over the pace of progress on peace talks.

Too many Cubans
Florida's 27th congressional district has one of the highest Cuban populations of any congressional district in the U.S.—with many neighborhoods where Cuban ancestry exceeds 50%—and overall, Cubans make up roughly half the district's population, concentrated primarily in the core Miami and Coral Gables area.
Neighborhood Highlights:
Westchester: 81% Cuban ancestry
Coral Gables: 40.2% Cuban ancestry
Kendall: 38% Cuban ancestry
Little Havana (Miami): 52% Cuban ancestry
Florida's 27th Congressional District was one of 34 congressional districts with a Republican incumbent or an open seat that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) targeted in 2024.
Maria Salazar got 60.4% of the vote in 2024.
