On Aug. 1, shortly after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a surprisingly weak employment report,
the conservative economist E.J. Antoni joined Steve Bannon’s influential “War Room” podcast.
“Have we put in our own person into B.L.S.?” Mr. Bannon asked Dr. Antoni.
“Is a MAGA Republican, that President Trump knows and trusts, are they running the Bureau of Labor Statistics yet?”
“No, unfortunately, Steve, we still haven’t gotten there,” Dr. Antoni replied,

Magnetic Burial in Millisecond Magnetars and Late GRB Afterglow Signatures
Millisecond magnetars, one of the potential candidates for the central engine of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), can experience significant magnetic field enhancement shortly after their formation. In some cases, this evolution is further influenced by the accretion of stellar debris, which modifies the dipole magnetic field strength. During a hypercritical accretion phase that lasts seconds or longer after the progenitor explosion, a thin crust may form, submerging the magnetic field (the so-called m…

💥The agency has, under many administrations, separated children from their parents, and denied people contact with lawyers and family members. 
⚠️ And some high-profile cases seem politically motivated, as well:
In early March, ICE agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil,
