Tepid growth in employment fuels controversy over incentives. Biden stands idly by while the Republican Party blames him. The disappointing report from the Labor Department tests Biden’s strategy to revive the economy. Businessmen and Republicans argue that the president’s policy is causing labor shortages and that his enterprises risk causing inflation. But the government showed no signs of wanting to change course, as the president defended the generous unemployed incentives contained in the 1.9 trillion law (so generous, opponents say, that it pushes the unemployed to stay home rather than look for work.) He says the $ 4 trillion in infrastructure and other projects will create more and better-paying jobs after the pandemic.

Four Minneapolis police officers have been charged with federal crimes for violating Floyd’s civil rights, another unusual oversight by authorities over the use of force by police. It is also a rare example where the Justice Department is seeking convictions after a district court has already ruled the main perpetrator and set a date, in August, for the trial of the other three.

– He went to the Mayor’s School and wanted a job. Eric Adams’ long career – from the son of a waitress in Queens, to a cop seeking reform, from state senator to borough, now running for mayor – is an ode to personal discipline. As he says, his life was carefully orchestrated to make him reach the limits of the one job he always aspired to, in the one city he always lived in. His career makes him unique in the pool of candidates for the position.

– Trump’s Justice Department obtained the phone records of three reporters. These are Washington Post correspondents, from April to July 2017, to their home and cell phones.
