The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations.
That was short of January's gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see.

Jamie Raskin to Kristi Noem LOLLLL:

β€œWhy didn’t we have this Hillary in 2016?”

You did have this Hillary β€” you just falsely believed she was nothing but an ice-cold bitch.

Now that you’re dealing with Donald Trump, you wish that bitch were here to rescue you.

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

What this means for our customers

Secretary Hegseth has implied this designation would restrict anyone who does business with the military from doing business with Anthropic. The Secretary does not have the statutory authority to back up this statement. Legally, a supply chain risk designation under 10 USC 3252 can only extend to the use of Claude as part of Department of War contractsβ€”it cannot affect how contractors use Claude to serve other customers.
