A denser-than-usual jobs report is expected to show just how much the US labor market has slowed in recent years — or perhaps that it wasn’t growing at all. In addition to the usual monthly payrolls and unemployment data, the January jobs report, due Wednesday , also includes highly anticipated revisions to payrolls. Those are expected to substantially mark down the pace of hiring, after a preliminary estimate suggested a record downward adjustment of 911,000 in the year through March 2025. “The annual benchmark revisions are going to be more consequential than normal this year,” said Scott Anderson , chief US economist at BMO Capital Markets. “Right now the labor market does appear to be on a knife’s edge between net job growth and maybe job loss.” The report, which is produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics , was originally scheduled for Feb. 6 but was delayed by the partial government shutdown . With the release of each January employment report, BLS benchmarks payrolls to a more accurate but less timely series called the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. That data is based on state unemployment insurance tax records and covers most US jobs. In addition to the newly adjusted employment level for March 2025, BLS will release revised monthly payroll changes throughout last year. Those revisions also reflect the agency’s update to its model that accounts for business openings and closures as well as new seasonal adjustment factors. The labor market was already understood to be gradually weakening last year, through what economists largely dubbed a “low-hire, low-fire” environment. But the revisions may indicate an even sharper slowdown in hiring than previously thought. That could change how the Federal Reserve views the labor market, which Chair Jerome Powell recently described as one that is showing signs of stabilization . He’s said that job growth has probably been overstated, but that the economy is in a solid enough position for officials to hold in...

The chemical giant Corteva will stop producing Enlist Duo, a herbicide considered to be among the most dangerous still used in the US by environmentalists because it contains a mix of Agent Orange and glyphosate, which have both been linked to cancer and widespread ecological damage. The US military deployed Agent Orange, a chemical weapon, to destroy vegetation during the Vietnam war, causing serious health problems among soldiers and Vietnamese residents. Glyphosate, meanwhile, is a highly controversial and toxic herbicide ingredient that has prompted similar litigation. Both are banned or severely restricted in many industrialized countries. Despite the risks of combining the substances, the US Environmental Protection Agency has twice approved it for use on food crops. The compound is annually spread on around 4.5m acres of fields in which corn, soybeans and genetically engineered cotton are grown. The move will bring to an end a decade of litigation and public pressure campaigns to ban Enlist Duo, and advocates are “celebrating it as a win”, said Kristina Sinclair, a staff attorney with the Center for Food Safety (CFS) non-profit, which is a lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. “After over a decade of legal battles, rather than try to rebut our arguments in court, the manufacturer pulled Enlist Duo from the market,” Sinclair said. “Our food system never should have been doused in this toxic cocktail, and now never will be again.” Corteva did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and Sinclair said it was unclear why the company decided to pull Enlist Duo. Corteva reported selling more than $1bn in Enlist products in 2022. The Agent Orange chemical 2,4-D will still be used in Enlist One, and a lawsuit that asks a judge to invalidate its approval will continue. 2,4-D works by attacking the roots and leaves of weeds and causing them to produce unwanted cells, not unlike inducing cancer, to kill or hobble them. The substance is considered a “possible” carcinog...

As rumors swirl about a SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk's rocket ship company makes an even bigger move. One of the biggest financial storylines so far in 2026 revolves around whether or not SpaceX will go public. While some headlines suggest Elon Musk's space exploration company has been meeting with investment banks to talk about an initial public offering (IPO), a new chapter is swiftly being written as that narrative unfolds. On Feb. 2, Musk announced a merger of SpaceX and his artificial intelligence (AI) start-up, xAI, and valued the company at $1.25 trillion. The combination of these two assets makes a potential SpaceX IPO all the more interesting. Nevertheless, I find these talking points to be totally distracting. Below, I'll explain why merging xAI and SpaceX makes strategic sense. But more importantly, I'll reveal my top stock pick at the intersection of AI and space exploration. Spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with Musk. Does the SpaceX merger with xAI make sense? On the surface, merging an AI start-up with a rocket ship company looks silly. When it comes to Musk, however, there are always several layers to the equation. Throughout his tenure as CEO of Tesla, Musk has often hinted at a desire to merge SpaceX with the electric vehicle (EV) company. Notably, Tesla recently received shareholder approval to make a $2 billion investment in xAI. Merging xAI with SpaceX, as well as Tesla's decision to make a strategic investment in xAI, comes down to one thing: Musk's obsession with control. From a governance perspective, combining xAI with SpaceX provides Musk with far more oversight of his two prized possessions. From a technological standpoint, xAI and SpaceX can certainly complement one another. Space systems generate large volumes of critical information. Take Starlink as an example: Its network collects data across various geographies, weather patterns, and user habits, and creates satellite and orbital imagery. Thanks to AI, space infrastructure can use this i...

If you were watching the downhill skiing or luge at Milan-Cortina 2026 over the weekend, you will have noticed the dramatic new camera angles being provided at these Games. Drones have been used in Olympic coverage since 2014, but they have been much more prevalent at these Winter Games. Carrying cameras, the drones have been flown close behind athletes as they ski or slide, capturing dramatic footage which has never been seen at a Games before. But they have proved divisive for audiences, with social media split between admiring the footage or being put off by the noise. The whirring of the drone blades is audible in the live coverage. Some have described it as the Winters' answer to the vuvuzela, the infamous horns heard throughout the football World Cup in 2010. It has led to concerns that the sound might be impacting the athletes, putting them off as they compete in the biggest events of their careers. "I spoke to a USA skeleton and luge coach and he said that the athlete can't hear it and aren't affected by it, but I think if I was competing with a drone I would be super aware of it," Lizzy Yarnold, two-time Olympic gold medallist in the skeleton for Great Britain, told BBC Sport. "Any small things or changes can put athletes off their mental game."

Dems Melting Down Over Voter ID As DHS Shutdown Talks Hit Wall Update on the latest negotiations to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded beyond next Friday, which requires at least 60 votes to pass unless the filibuster is done away with. Recall: Congress passed five out of six appropriations packages on Feb. 3 , ending a brief partial government shutdown that began on Jan. 31 - while giving DHS, which controls ICE, a lifeline until Feb. 13 as Democrats and Republicans hash out reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) after two white knight protesters were shot while interfering with lawful ICE operations.' Democrats have a list of 10 'non-negotiable' reforms that they insist must be included in any DHS funding bill, including; Requiring judicial warrants signed by a judge before agents can make arrests in homes or private spaces. Mandating body-worn cameras for all enforcement actions - though serious pushback has emerged from the left over fears that facial recognition technology will be used to catalogue and track protesters. Democratic lawmakers are now seeking to ban ICE and CBP from using facial recognition and other biometric ID technologies altogether. [ZH: Things are always interesting when the shoe is on the other foot, but why stop at DHS / CBP? Maybe protect all of us from this shit?] Prohibiting agents from wearing masks or face coverings during operations to ensure identification. Implementing new use-of-force standards to prevent excessive violence. Ending racial profiling in enforcement activities. Requiring clear identification of DHS officers (e.g., visible badges and agency markings). Other provisions for "real accountability," such as oversight mechanisms and restrictions on certain tactics. Republicans are pushing to attach their own priorities to the DHS bill - primarily the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote...
