I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that says, let's not put a nuclear reactor on the moon.
Let's not do that.
Let's do a lot of other things, but let's not put a nuclear reactor on the moon.
On today's show,
the Trump administration backtracks on the president's campaign promise to make health insurers cover IVF.
Shocking!
And Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott escalates the redistricting fight with state Democrats.
But let's start by talking about the Bureau of Labor Statistics,

surprise, surprise, injected partisan politics into after a recent jobs report that was not,
shall we say, good.
The fallout from Trump's decision last week to fire the head of the BLS in the wake of the report continued Monday.
And amid growing bipartisan outcry,

the deep state.
And for goodness sakes, we know that hopefully not much of the data area,
but all over the U.S. government,
there have been people who have been resisting Trump everywhere they can.
