From the shared X thread
In an interview with Meet the Press, White House National Economic Adviser Kevin Hassett defends President Trump’s decision to fire Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed, saying the president “wants his own people there.”
A Republican-led Texas House committee voted on Saturday to move forward with a gerrymandered congressional map drawn to net five new House seats for Republicans. The move has huge implications for the U.S. House, and could become a setback for Democrats as they attempt to win control in 2026. NBC News’ Ryan Chandler reports.
'Wants his own people there' Yep, the crime family extends.
Trump: And all trust in US economic data has been destroyed since I instituted the new rule of never highering anyone who knows statistics into the economic statistics department again. I also made sure that F-47 comes out a turkey because I told them no stealth allowed because stealth doesn't work if they know what your plane looks like. Anything else I can do for you today, sirs?Meanwhile Trump is angy at india, India on monday morning said they wont be stopping buying russian oil.
And right on cue
Frankly China should go further and to the least also raise the price. Why should there be a reprieve for non-military US sectors in getting Chinese rare earths when the US is working to undermine China overall economically to stop China from having leverage in anything?
China Is Choking Supply of Critical Minerals to Western Defense Companies
Beijing’s tightened controls are a sign of the leverage it has over the U.S. military supply chain
I am guessing with the supply being lower, the price must have gone up already,Frankly China should go further and to the least also raise the price. Why should there be a reprieve for non-military US sectors in getting Chinese rare earths when the US is working to undermine China overall economically to stop China from having leverage in anything?
India is doing with Chinese rare earths what they’re also doing with Russian oil. It’s so cheap that they’re reselling it to the West where they can still turn a profit.
I like these kinds of moves where China is buying up the coffee from Brazil that would’ve been sold to the US. That way China helps partners and Americans are going to face higher prices from lower supply. Americans love their coffee.
