Holy cow: TRUMP LEAKED THIS MORNING'S PAYROLL NUMBERS. At 8:20pm last night he posted a photo of a briefing he received from his CEA. It reveals market-moving numbers that were officially released at 8:30am this morning. (Note: CEA receives the data—confidentially—on Thursday evening.)

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

The map gives an idea of the number of soldiers who signed up to fight for Britain from several British Empire countries. Most of these troops were in the army, but some fought in the RAF, navy and local armed forces branches.

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC
The driver "managed to contact the control
centre at Network Rail and get the train
diverted onto the slow line", Calder says.


"That was absolutely crucial because this
train was scheduled to be travelling through
Huntingdon station on the tracks with no
platform at 125mph."


"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere,
which would have been very difficult."


Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest
possible way" thanks to the "incredible
professionalism from the driver and the
police". Train drivers are trained on how to
take appropriate action, he adds,

From the Fox News National Security correspondent: "It looks to me like the US military is going to war."

Jennifer Griffin
@JenGriffinFNC
Why would you need F35 stealth fighter jets for a counternarcotics mission? The F35s being sent to Puerto Rico are usually used for large bombing missions like the targeting of Iran’s nuclear facilities- a 5th generation supersonic fighter jet known for its lethality. It looks to me like the US military is going to war. 8 US Navy destroyers in the Caribbean near Venezuela is a first.
