President Donald Trump learned the hard way Friday morning that firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t change the facts: the economy is cooling, the unemployment rate is going up, and the number of job openings isn’t keeping pace.

And not white men? Who commit most mass shootings? Please be serious.

SCOOP: Trump's BLS pick E.J. Antoni -- who many economists have flagged as unqualified -- will face a hearing before the Senate HELP committee. Over 30+ years, only 1 of the last 6 BLS chiefs had a committee hearing.
