<4 days> after Hegseth said Musk, Luckey and Gingrich (zero combined military experience) would run "Project Meridian" the defense department handed Anduril (Luckey) $2 billion in defense contracts. Blatant corrupt cronyism. I hate it here.

And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.
Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in non-farm payrolls since January 2025 through September 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 998,000 jobs with consistent growth throughout the period, while the rest of the economy lost 222,000 jobs, meaning all net job creation came from healthcare. The rest of the economy showed particular weakness from May through August 2025 when losses reached 218,000 jobs. This striking divergence reveals an unusual concentration where one sector's growth of roughly 48,000 jobs per month has offset persistent contraction across all other industries combined.

Trump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

7. What on earth is the White House trying to prove? Not that Trump is a good president. More like proving his enemies right. This, for instance, from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...
"Trump is the imperfect figurehead of a corrupt cabal of plutocrats and ideological fanatics, who have used his political movement to foment something like a revolution, short of igniting civil war: Collapse the democratic order globally, replace it with great power spheres, and subservient, corrupt courtier states. Collapse the democratic order domestically, replace it with a rightwing autocracy."
