If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

One would think they would’ve taken a few people to test this BEFORE spending half a billion dollars to paint it. Anyone with half a brain would know painting it black to further deter people was asinine. Not to mention the design of the fence itself makes it easy to climb! Idiots!!!

Of course, Cook is still in her seat. The Supreme Court has been clear: central bank governors do not serve at the pleasure of the president. Every time the press repeats Trump’s lies uncritically, it is dangerous. The story isn’t Cook, it’s the media helping to sell a dangerous falsehood.
