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.

One of the things described in a report on the contents of Nekima Levy Armstrong's phone (submitted w/Georgia Fort's MTD) is that DOJ arrested the wrong person before arresting her. I guess bc all Black women look the same? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
At 10:13 PM CST, ARMSTRONG replied with a link to a Fox9 article titled "Department of Justice
investigating anti-ICE protest at St. Paul church". This article was posted on January 18th,
2026 at 5:37 PM CST.
At 10:15 PM CST, ARMSTRONG replied, "Yes. I saw this. This is how MAGA tries to control the news
cycles. They always put a spin on things to center the foolishness of the Trump Administration.
SMDH".
On January 22nd, 2026 at 4:02 AM CST, ARMSTRONG writes, "I will likely be arrested this AM. They
already have at least one of the organizers."
At 4:26 AM CST, ARMSTRONG writes, "She is already being released".
At 7:45 AM CST, LEMON replies, "Good morning. Based on what? A criminal complaint?"
At 7:51 AM CST, "ARMSTRONG replies, "They thought she was me. So they tackled her in the hallway
and manhandled her."
At 7:52 AM CST, ARMSTRONG writes, "They didn't realize it wasn't me until they brought her to
the Whipple Building. They have the hotel surrounded with agents. My lawyers are here now
negotiating for me to turn myself in." "I'm the only one with an arrest warrant."

I don’t know how you could look at Donald Trump’s record to date and think it’s a good idea to give him more power to levy tariffs. But that’s exactly what the Senate is poised to do, on a bipartisan basis, in a bill coming up for a vote today www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-vot...

Quite a week. Trump declared a peace deal with Iran, then raged when Iran publicly contradicted his account of the terms. Inflation hit 4.2% and Trump loves it. And Johnson quietly announced on a radio show that Republicans plan to cut Medicare and Medicaid next year. Not as slick as he thought.
