That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.
Today, I took Executive Action to grow Colorado’s economy by creating a statewide permitting portal and streamlining the process to help businesses invest, build infrastructure, and create good-paying jobs faster.
While large corporations receive billions in refunds, many small businesses struggle to recover what they’re owed. Washington must simplify the process and ensure refunds help lower costs for hardworking Americans. https://ow.ly/zlJc50ZxJcx
Colorado’s aerospace companies are industry-leading innovators helping us get back to the Moon. It was an honor to join the amazing NASA Artemis II crew at Red Rocks and congratulate everyone who worked on this historic achievement. https://ow.ly/1LfS50ZwA4x

Seems like it's going to be a good old family feud. Moreno calls him an abuser and out of control. Miller says he's only saying that because Moreno wants to deflect about the "gay rumours". Fuck
Pretty convenient that Trump gets immunity from IRS audits for the year where he made, by far, the most money of his entire life in shady deals all over the globe. His should get a special “Trust me, bro” tax form from the IRS to submit.
John Cornyn & Thom Tillis issue a joint statement announcing they will support Todd Blanche for AG. He's now in good position to clear the Judiciary Committee tomorrow and head to the full Senate.
“If the Senate voted on this fund today there would be almost 60 votes to kill it, maybe 70.” @eschor.bsky.social explains that while it may only be GOP Sens. Cornyn and Tillis publicly pushing back on Trump so-called “anti-weaponization” fund, “they’re speaking for a lot of colleagues.”
Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Instead of rescinding it, the accompanying memo reaffirms DOJ’s interpretation, arguing the immunity applies only retroactively and only to the parties involved.1/

Reuter got this story wrong… It’s not mislabeled countries. None of those blobs are the shape or location of any actual African nation. It’s entirely AI slop! What a joke! www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
