We'll never see those files. Doesn't matter who is in office. They're all in it. That's why the Ds sat on it, judges blocked its release, yada yada yada. All that matters is the cultists keep arguing about "the other side" being in it.

Also, the Trump phone, a week after the stories mocking it never coming out, has apparently come out. The MSM were sent review units and they're just older Androids with Trump branding. They're so old they have a headset jack still. Ha! Oh, and Truth Social comes pre-installed because of course it does.

Ds at least had a justification due to the ongoing legal cases at the time. That's gone now.

Paying $500 for a $125 phone feels very on-brand for this administration.

Watch and see how nothing happens when the next D gets in office. Epstein's reach wasn't partisan.

It really sucks because there is nothing I root for more than the actual client list to be revealed. These people all need to be tarred, feathered, publicly shamed, and then drawn and quartered. I don't give a shit who it is. Elites must be held accountable to the same laws that everyone else is accountable to or there's no difference between us and North Korea outside of the illusion that we're different.

Oil prices are crashing on news that Pakistan brokered a US-Iran deal.

That's great. I wonder if this will be different from the last half dozen deals? Maybe this one will last longer than an afternoon...

How does this translate to the jobs report?

You'd think Trump's people would be bragging about it?

How the hell does this happen with the most job openings in 2 years?

Mismatch between openings + people's skills/locations/etc?

Could be? Also, the fake job posting trend?

Can H1Bs who have lost their jobs applying for unemployment?

H1Bs have to leave the country within 2 months without a sponsor, no idea if they can apply for unemployment.

I know the crack down on H1Bs, although imho it's not enough, has turned housing markets, for the better, in some urban areas.

One of the financial X accounts posted yesterday, quoting one of the big financial news outlets, that 90% of job openings since 2020 had been filled by foreign workers.

Also, those jobs have hit the jobs report:
