December was a new normal jobs month--for a world with low net migration.
50K jobs added (37K in private sector)
3 month averages: -22K total and +29K
Unemployment rate down to 4.4%
Avg hrs down & avg wages up.

Private sector job growth is a better read of the underlying economic signal.
Because Federal employment has shifted so dramatically.
1/ There’s a strong chance the Supreme Court will release its IEEPA Tariff opinion this morning, so I want to go over why the case is so important and what I’ll be looking for in the opinion. TLDR: the Constitution’s separation of powers is at stake.
2/ Obviously, one reason the case matters is because Trump 47’s tariffs are substantively massive enough to reshape global trade patterns. The IEEPA tariffs at issue in the case accounted for about $133.5 billion out of $250 billion in revenue (through mid-December).
3/ If these tariffs are ruled illegal, presumably that $133B will need to be returned to the importers who paid it, that’ll be a big deal. Going forward, the admin will use other legal tools to cover some of the same goods, but those tools are mostly slower and more constrained.
Excellent amicus from @scottlincicome, @cpgrabow, and @clark_packard persuasively argues that refunds will not be fiscally catastrophic, nor would they be administratively infeasible. (At the same time, managing their timing might give the admin a helpful tool for stimulating the economy ahead of the midterm elections.)

While winding down for the night, it is pretty cool to see how @OfficialXYO Layer One is tackling that old headache of blockchain bloat.
The way features like Framing Cursor and Proof of Perfect work together is actually quite clever. By using smart network segmentation and precise ranking, they managed to make data retrieval fast without the usual lag.
Throw in Step Hash and the Lookback Window, and the whole system stays surprisingly lightweight and snappy. It is definitely a solid architectural move for the future of decentralized data.
Good night everyone😴
see you tomorrow

The new era temple of Satan worshipping for Muslims made in Petra.
Some churches around the world promote this place as the original place of Islamism.
In fact the mahometians started their piracy network in the same place but it didn't have the carvings at that time:

Dan Gibson is behind this international hoax. Somehow he is right because this place was the original place of the pirates in that area. So maybe he wants to gather pirates from the world and send them back to their original land!

🔥🔥🔥Immigrant Defense Network - I was Hot on the trail! Thanks to my earlier work, I’ve now found the newest, and very large, MN anti ICE and protest network! And yes, it involves orgs that I’ve already discussed, but it includes the ACLU, plus more too! I also have how they operate!
It seems that COPAL is now running things. And Ilhan Omar and Amy Klobuchar even once had taxpayer funds directed to them! And Ayada leads, is well, leading things!
This is a secretive network of over 100 orgs called the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) m. I’ve found as many of the 100 that I could. And it seems that many are also the pro Palestinian Marxist left.
Now remember, this is part of the 2020 George Floyd Network, so they are built for rioting too.
♦️So let’s get into the details of the Immigrant Defense Network now.
COPAL stands for Copal mn Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina. In 2025, The Bush Fndn helped establish the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) when they gave $995,000 to COPAL.
This is not the Bush family that we are familiar with, it’s Archie and Edyth Bush of MN. And its Fndn was founded in 1953.
There seems to be Soros Open Society funding also. And Ryan Perez, is the director of COPAL.
“The IDN built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, and trained by IDN partner organizations.
IDN members patrol the streets, sifting through tips to find those that are “credible or verified” and sending alerts when needed by text, email and phone calls to its constitutional observers.
A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.
Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.
The IDN had been on high alert in the wake of large-scale operations in other U.S. cities. To prepare, it had established a campaign called Adopt a Corner to protect high-risk areas and send out alerts.
“People are going to be documenting, they’re going to be verbally upholding civil rights, they’re going to be asking if ICE is on the scene that they’re presenting the proper warrants and documentation,” said Ryan Perez, COPAL’s organizing director. “They’re just upholding people’s civil rights all around.”
♦️ IDN Members
The organization has a seven-member steering committee composed of a variety of both large and small immigrant advocates and human rights groups. They include:
- ACLU Minnesota
- Ayala Leads
- COPAL
- Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration (ICOM)
- Land Stewardship Project
- Minnesota 8
- The Advocates for Human Rights
Affiliates
- Center For Popular Democracy
- CAIR Minnesota
- Unidos MN
- Black Immigrant Collective
- Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid
Now the Center For Popular Democracy is as radical as they come. And they have been partnered with many far left groups for resistance work.
Here they even worked on a Democrat Attorneys Generals Association project with Obama’s OFA!Here’s the members:
“MoveOn, Indivisible, Organizing for Action (OFA), the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA), The Collective PAC, Flippable, The Arena, Center for Popular Democracy Action, National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), Latino Victory, Progressive Turnout Project, NewFounders, MobilizeAmerica, Sister District, Wall of US, Working Families Party, Resistbot, Stand Up America, Democrats .com”

🚨Before I begin, I’m adding extremely pertinent information. We have Tim Waltz and additional Amy Klobuchar linkage here. There’s also McKnight Fndn funding I didn’t see earlier.
Edwin Torres DeSantiago, the former political director for Gov. Tim Walz, Leads the Immigrant Defense Network.
“Edwin Torres DeSantiago was described by the Star Tribune last month as the manager of the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN), a project of Comunidades Organizando El Poder y la Accion Latina (COPAL), which is one of several Minnesota organizations behind “direct action trainings” which purportedly inform residents, “how to read judicial warrants, and contribute to a repository of data for legal challenges by recording agents’ conduct.”
Attendees also learn, “whistle codes for summoning crowds,” and organizers provide, “links to rapid-response clearinghouses,” according to the outlet.
IDN itself held a training session on Tuesday in Saint Paul, part of its Brave of US Tour that instructed attendees on becoming,”Constitutional Observers to protect and defend our immigrant neighbors.””
“DeSantiago also worked as Minnesota’s full-time COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Director, and during the 2020 campaign he worked for both U.S. Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), after previously working for Smith’s campaign in 2018.”
“Other donors include the McKnight Foundation, who provided COPAL with $350,000, “for the establishment, strengthening, and tool creation of the Immigrant Defense Network,” and the Northwest Area Foundation, who provided“$100,000 to support development and expansion of the Immigrant Defense Network through public outreach, rights education, mental health training, emergency response services, and regional collaboration across the Upper Midwest.”

Essentially after Trump was elected, the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) was born. The locals usually know the details first.
“Immediately following the 2024 presidential election, the community advocacy group Communities Organizing Latine Power and Action (COPAL) reached out to partners to strengthen ties. Those discussions led to the formation of the IDN, which has expanded to include more than 100 immigrant, labor, legal, faith and community organizations dedicated to advancing the constitutional rights of Minnesota’s immigrant communities.
Our network spans multiple counties across the state of Minnesota,” Torres Desantiago said.
The IDN has built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, trained by IDN partner organizations to exercise their legal rights when documenting federal agents in public.
“For many, we became the most reliable source of information,” he said. “We were sharing even with local agencies, because we were on the ground.”
A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.
Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.
Perez said the Nov. 18 IDN response proved that the Twin Cities can offer meaningful resistance to immigration enforcement.
The IDN sent a leadership delegation to Los Angeles to be trained by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network on how to adapt their Adopt a Corner model, Torres Desantiago said. In addition, members from the Center for Popular Democracy will soon come to Minnesota for two days of training with IDN.
We need more people trained,” Torres Desantiago said. “We have about 2,000 people all over the state, but we need 10,000 people minimum to make sure we have enough capacity.”

It's a horrible thing to be playing games with, but I think it's less horrible to play 'Guess Where The Line Goes' than to ignore it altogether.

If you want to get your local SEO shit together in 2026, DO THIS👇
1. Optimize for ‘near me’ searches.
People don’t type exact locations - Google does the work.
How to trigger “near me” rankings:
- Embed a Google Map
- List nearby landmarks in content
- Mention local zip codes naturally
- Add “Serving [Nearby Cities]” in the footer.

2. Stop trying to rank nationwide.
Most local businesses waste time chasing keywords like “best plumber.”
You’ll never win that game.
Instead, go all-in on local intent:
- “Emergency plumber in Dallas”
- “Best sushi near me”
- “Personal injury lawyer in Atlanta”
The customers you want? They’re searching locally.

A move in mortgage rates from ~6% to ~5.6% doesn’t sound dramatic.
But Morgan Stanley now estimates that shift alone expands mortgage originations from ~$2.4T to nearly $3T.
That is a ~25% volume shock hiding inside a 40bp move.
But Morgan Stanley now estimates that shift alone expands mortgage originations from ~$2.4T to nearly $3T.
That is a ~25% volume shock hiding inside a 40bp move.
Here’s the key stat most investors gloss over:
Every ~50bps drop in mortgage rates pulls ~$1T of mortgages back “in-the-money.”
That’s not theory. That’s millions of households crossing an affordability threshold.

That threshold crossing is what matters.
People don’t refinance or move gradually.
They do it all at once, when the math finally works.
That’s why small rate changes create non-linear volume jumps.

Files are opened, reports are written, and records are updated.
By the time this happens, the loss has already occurred much earlier.

In such cases, legal custody exists on paper, but effective control on the ground is weak or absent.
