Holy shit Slotkin's staff did not do their research LOL
This is fantastic lmao
Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
What I find interesting is that Slotkin started to say she made a decision in 2021, and then stopped. What was that decision? Reading between the lines, it was something about AIPAC. We probably will never know, but it's worth pointing out you don't need to be endorsed to do AIPACs will.
