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.

ICE killed a man without wearing body cameras all because someone in his van “resembled the target” though it wasn’t them.   Now we’ve learned that the agents lied about what happened, mocked the man they shot as he was dying, and stripped his ID from him when they brought him to the hospital.
