Operation Epic Fail / more "Winning!" --
Iran and Oman have reportedly finalized a deal to control the Strait of Hormuz, charging ships fees for passage and potentially blocking ships from “hostile countries.” Trump is indicating he’s going to accept a deal on Iran’s terms. This would arguably be America’s most blatant loss in war ever.

Trump's "Golden Age" economy --
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.

Here's why this is so grim. Folks expected jobs growth to slow to +80k, but we got -23k. Also downward revisions to the last two months subtracted a total of -103k. So over the past three months, the US economy created about -200k fewer jobs than we had thought.

Trump said this week that Americans have “the greatest economy maybe in the history of the world.” The new job numbers show just how bonkers his happy-talk is. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

De facto President has low-energy Grandpa Cankles sign something nasty --
"I also gave grandpa a piece of paper to sign that says I am the best, most handsomest boy, and I am now demanding that everyone refer to me that way. IT IS THE LAW! SAY IM PRETTY!"

Trump's ICE thugs --
In a time where so many things are deeply fucked up, it is absolutely impossible to overstate how deeply fucked up this is. The Trump admin is signaling, essentially, that it's okay to commit crimes against immigrants. Instead of being protected so they can testify against you, they'll be deported.

Putin's puppet Trump --
Q: Russia seems to have increased their attacks on civilian targets. That must be of concern to you. TRUMP: Look, we're not involved. We're separated by an ocean.

the bottom line is that Trump has been on Putin's side since day one, but every now and then he'll do a little head fake ("Maybe I'll allow Ukraine to make patriot missiles!") to throw people off the scent
