    “A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know.” —Judge Murray Gurfein, Pentagon Papers case, June 17, 1971

  3. /5 Trump brags about jobs? Growth in private-sector employment has weakened in the past year - and is now at the slowest pace since early 2011

  4. /4 Trump said he would bring back manufacturing jobs? Manufacturing is plunging and now represents the smallest share of the U.S. economy in 72 years

  7. Thread President's claim of a booming economy cannot - like many things he said last night - withstand challenge. It is easier for some - notably in the energy, manufacturing and global trade areas - to notice than others. WWR's colleagues have some revealing charts:

  8. Job growth has slowed in the Trump era, but BLS should perhaps start a new job category: Fact Checkers. The need for them is great and growing, as the number of misleading statements - and outright lies - from the president mounts

    Snapshot of Trump’s “manufacturing renaissance”: the sector’s share of the economy is now the smallest in 72 years of data.

  10. By failing to stand up to thuggish adnministration behavior, other outlets are, on some level, enablers of still more anti-press behavior. They could be next

    This speech, for all its lies and empty promises, is a blueprint for re-election. Democrats gotta get their act together. Yesterday

  12. Beyond appealing to his hard-core base, Trump's speech tonight seemed aimed at cutting his deficit among two groups in particular: blacks and suburban-educated women. He probably doesn't need to turn big numbers - just enough in MI, PA, WI and elsewhere to hold them narrowly

  13. Tonight's behavior between Trump and Pelosi exposed the raw, bitter and nasty feelings between these two Constitutional officers. No handshake, a perfunctory introduction - and at the end, she tore up her advance copy of his remarks

    Poništi
  14. Last year, 46.8M viewers across 12 TV networks watched live coverage of Trump’s State of the Union address. 29.19 million of those were 55+. Just 3.7 million were millennials (18-34)

  15. It should worry Democrats that Trump's approval rating has risen sharply among independents (per Gallup data) - up five points since early January, though still 42%. Gallup's overall 49% approval represents the high-water mark of the Trump presidency

  16. Administration goons have also banned other organizations from Trump rallies - those who have NOT been banned have largely remained silent in the face of such attacks on our First Amendment

  17. White House banning of CNN from SOTU lunch reflects the cowardice and insecurity of Trump and his brown-nosing sycophants and their fear of dealing w/journalists who ask difficult questions and refuse to be intimidated; others - eager to maintain access - will remain silent

  18. Super Bowl ads: -Trump’s ad touting criminal justice reform got 2x as many positive mentions on social media as negative mentions -Bloomberg’s, which focused on gun regulations, had about three negative mentions for each positive one (Analytics firm Synthesio, in WSJ)

  19. . says the steel industry has never done better, thanks to him. Which certainly explains why U.S. Steel ($X) has: 1) lost 80% of its market value since Trump's tariff war began 2) had major layoffs 3) slashed its dividend 80% Monday

  20. When you are congenitally dishonest and corrupt, why, yes, keep accusing the other side of these very things; There’s a sucker born every minute (no evidence this phrase was coined by PT Barnum)
