BLS Data Revised: Payrolls Declined Under Biden

Recent revisions to U.S. employment data have revealed significant downward adjustments in reported job growth under the Biden administration. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) initially estimated strong employment gains, but updated figures suggest that many of these numbers were overstated.

The BLS regularly revises its monthly job reports using more comprehensive quarterly data. The latest adjustments indicate that job growth was nearly 30% lower than previously reported, with nonfarm payrolls revised down by 818,000 positions. The largest downward revisions occurred in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and manufacturing, while some sectors, such as private education and health services, saw slight increases.

Austin Police Arrest 17-Year-Old in Fatal Shooting of Infowars Reporter, 3 Additional Suspects Remain on the Loose

Austin police have arrested 17-year-old Eloy Adrian Camarillo in connection with the murder of Infowars reporter Jamie White. The incident occurred on March 9 outside White’s apartment complex in southeast Austin. According to authorities, White was attempting to prevent a burglary of his vehicle when he was shot in the neck. He was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on March 10.

Investigators revealed that Camarillo and three other suspects were targeting Kia-brand vehicles due to known vulnerabilities that make them easier to steal. The group allegedly broke into White’s green Kia Soul with the intent of joyriding. When White confronted them, he was fatally shot. The suspects then fled the scene in a stolen black Kia Soul.

Surveillance footage and cellphone tower data helped police identify Camarillo as a suspect. He was arrested on April 30 and charged with capital murder. His bond was set at $250,000. Authorities believe that three additional suspects remain at large as the investigation continues.

Russian National Charged with Smuggling Biological Material Into Boston

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian-born Harvard researcher, has been charged with smuggling biological material into the United States. She was detained at Boston Logan International Airport on February 16, 2025, after allegedly failing to declare clawed frog embryos and embryonic samples in her luggage.

Authorities say a CBP canine alerted officers to her duffel bag, leading to a search that uncovered the biological samples. Initially, Petrova denied carrying any biological material, but later admitted to having them after investigators found text messages advising her to declare the samples.

Petrova, who fled Russia in 2022 after protesting against the war in Ukraine, has been held in immigration detention in Louisiana. Her legal team argues that the charges are politically motivated, as similar violations typically result in a fine rather than criminal prosecution.

A federal judge in Vermont has scheduled a bail hearing for May 28, while Petrova continues to fight deportation to Russia, where she fears persecution. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Rep. Shri Thanedar Withdraws Trump Impeachment Resolution Amid Democratic Opposition

Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan abruptly pulled his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump just moments before a planned House vote. Thanedar had introduced seven articles of impeachment, accusing Trump of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, bribery, and corruption. However, his effort lacked support from Democratic leadership, with some colleagues withdrawing their co-sponsorship and others calling the move impractical given Republican control of Congress.

Thanedar initially pushed for a vote, arguing that Trump had committed additional impeachable offenses since the resolution was introduced. However, after discussions with fellow Democrats, he opted to withdraw the measure, stating that he would expand his articles of impeachment and continue rallying support.

The resolution was expected to be tabled, effectively killing it for now. Some Democrats viewed the impeachment push as a distraction from their party’s messaging on Republican budget proposals. Despite the setback, Thanedar remains committed to pursuing impeachment efforts in the future.

Trump Announces $96 Billion Boeing-Qatar Airways Deal During Middle East Visit

During his visit to Qatar, President Donald Trump unveiled a $96 billion agreement between Boeing and Qatar Airways, marking the largest aircraft order in the airline’s history. The deal includes up to 210 Boeing jets, including 787 Dreamliners and 777X aircraft, along with a separate agreement for more than 400 GE Aerospace engines to power the planes.

Trump praised the deal as a major win for U.S. manufacturing, stating it would support 154,000 American jobs annually. The announcement comes amid scrutiny over Qatar’s offer to gift the U.S. a luxury Boeing 747, which Trump has defended as a cost-saving measure for taxpayers.

The agreement strengthens Boeing’s relationship with Qatar Airways, which already operates a large fleet of Boeing aircraft. The White House emphasized that the deal is part of broader economic agreements between the U.S. and Qatar, totaling over $240 billion.

US warns against use of Huawei Ascend AI chips 'anywhere', says it violates export controls

The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued new guidelines stating that the use of Huawei’s Ascend AI chips anywhere in the world violates American export controls. The Bureau of Industry and Security warned of potential consequences for allowing U.S. AI chips to be used in training Chinese AI models.

The move is part of broader efforts to tighten restrictions on advanced computing semiconductors, following concerns that China could use AI technology to strengthen its military capabilities. The U.S. previously imposed limits on exports of Nvidia’s AI chips to China, leading to billions in financial losses for the company.

The Biden administration had introduced an AI Diffusion Rule, which categorized countries into tiers with varying levels of access to AI chips. However, the rule faced criticism from U.S. tech firms and was rescinded by the Trump administration, which is now pursuing a new strategy to share AI technology with trusted foreign partners while restricting access for adversaries.

Huawei’s Ascend 910B chip is considered one of China’s most advanced AI processors, but reports indicate that Chinese firms have sought alternative sources for similar technology. The U.S. continues to refine its export policies to maintain its global AI dominance while preventing China from acquiring cutting-edge semiconductor technology.

Kristi Noem: Democratic lawmakers committed ‘felonies’ at ICE facility, calls for censuring

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has accused three Democratic lawmakers—Bonnie Watson Coleman, Robert Menendez, and LaMonica McIver—of committing felonies during a visit to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in New Jersey. The incident occurred at Delaney Hall, where a confrontation with law enforcement led to the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for trespassing.

Noem claimed the lawmakers stormed the facility, engaged in physical altercations with ICE officers, and attempted to interfere with law enforcement operations. She called for their censure and removal from committee assignments. However, the lawmakers denied the accusations, stating they were conducting lawful oversight and were physically shoved by ICE agents.

The Department of Homeland Security suggested that more Democratic lawmakers could face arrests, while Republican lawmakers introduced a resolution to strip them of their committee roles. The incident has sparked political controversy, with Democrats accusing the administration of misrepresenting events and violating congressional oversight rights.
