Says the guy who thinks through the roof credit card spending is a positive thing!
FOX NEWS: The negative is that labor supply is shrinking. You've got baby boomers retiring, you've got less illegal immigration, you got more deportations. How do you factor that in?
HASSETT: I don't think that's a negative. I think it's a positive. You've got more good jobs for legal Americans.

Like everyone else, I’m in awe of Faizan Zaki’s big win at the National Spelling Bee—especially after coming so close last year (huge congrats, Faizan!).
I couldn’t help getting distracted by the trophy. It was designed by Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati back in 2019. What a great looking trophy!

Disappointed that @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social didn’t lead with the #HandsOff protests.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

It's Valentine's Day, so you know what that means: BEES.
Alongside being the patron saint of love, plague, epilepsy, and fainting, Saint Valentine is also associated with beekeepers. As such, we thought we'd share a few of our favourite hives today.

St Valentine's keys are traditionally given to unlock the giver's heart. Valentine was a Roman priest who was caught marrying couples & refused to give up his Christian faith. Executed on 14 February 269 AD, it was not until the 14th century that his feast day became a celebration of romantic love.

Imbolc, an ancient Gaelic-Celtic feast which marks the midpoint between winter and summer., reminds us that spring is on the horizon. The long darkness of winter is fading as the light continues to return.

Ah loves, just noticed this weekend is #Imbolc marking the beginning of spring. Imbolc symbolizes the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). Imbolc is often celebrated with fire rituals. Look out for snowdrops, miraculous light in the dark times.

Thread: Saturday is Imbolc, which celebrates the first day of Spring in Ireland. It is an ancient Gaelic-Celtic feast & is also marked as St Bridget’s Day, its Christian re-incarnation. In schools children make Bridget’s crosses to celebrate it. (pictured: Hill of Tara)

It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and light, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

With the roads clear, our household ventured out for breakfast this morning. I captured some lovely photos of the morning sun glistening on the ice still clinging to the tree branches. After an hour in the crisp, sunny air, I see the icicles starting to melt from a tree in our front yard. #atlwx
