Mexico and Brazil Rebut Trump's Claims About Violence in Their Cities
The leaders of two of Latin America's biggest capitals on Tuesday responded with indignation to President Trump's assertions that their cities were plagued by violent crime, disputing his remarks as he announced a federal takeover of the local police in Washington, D.C. As he addressed the takeover and a deployment of the National Guard, Mr. Trump compared crime in Washington to the levels of violence in cities that he called 'some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on earth.' (Violent crime in Washington hit a 30-year low last year.) Mr. Trump later said that Washington's rate of violent crime was higher than in capitals of Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru and Iraq. 'Do you want to live in places like that?' he asked reporters. 'I don't think so.' Early on Tuesday, leaders in Mexico and Brazil defended their cities, calling Mr. Trump misinformed — and, in the case of Mexico's president, agreeing that her capital had a lower murder rate than Washington's. 'That is true,' President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, a former Mexico City mayor, told reporters. 'What we don't agree with is when he said it was the most insecure city in Latin America, because it's not.' The city's current mayor, Clara Brugada, went further, saying that Mr. Trump's notion of Mexico City was all wrong. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Democrat Sherrod Brown to seek a return to US Senate in 2026 election, media reports say
By Richard Cowan WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Democrat Sherrod Brown will attempt to win back his U.S. Senate seat in Ohio in next year's midterm elections, according to media reports, in a race that likely would pit him against Republican Senator John Husted as Democrats fight to win back control of the chamber. The media site reported that Brown will jump into the contest, citing unnamed Ohio labor leaders familiar with his thinking. Brown was not reachable for comment. Brown, 72, served for 18 years in the Senate before he lost to Republican Bernie Moreno last November in a 50.1%-46.5% vote. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and Ohio could become the site of one of a half-dozen most competitive races in next year's elections. Husted was appointed in January to temporarily fill the seat vacated by JD Vance when he became vice president. The winner of the November 2026 special election would serve the remainder of Vance's Senate term, ending in January 2029. Brown anchored his long congressional career as a dogged fighter for blue-collar workers in Ohio, which has suffered job losses as steel, automotive and other jobs moved abroad. Once a battlefield state, Ohio has leaned increasingly Republican over the past decade. Last November, Republican Donald Trump handily defeated Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris 55.2%-44% in Ohio, where he remains a potent political force. Both Brown and Husted would be favored to win their respective parties' primary races next year. After his defeat last November, Brown founded the Dignity of Work Institute, aimed at improving pay and benefits for working-class people.

Trump's pick to lead economic data agency floats ending monthly jobs report
President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has proposed ending releasing the aency's closely watched jobs report each month. Conservative economist EJ Antoni, a longtime critic of the bureau, floated the idea in an interview with Fox News on Monday, the same day that Trump officially announced him as his pick to lead the BLS. The idea raised new alarm over the agency's future and the reliability of its statistics, which are used by political leaders, investors and everyday Americans to get a sense of how the world's richest country is faring. Trump fired its former leader this month after the agency reported a sharp slowdown in jobs growth. Trump accused the commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, of having "rigged" the numbers - a claim that was widely rejected by economists. They likewise panned his pick of Antoni, saying his economic commentary was rife with basic mistakes. After Fox published its interview online on Tuesday, an economist who has advised Republicans in the past posted: "Senators who vote to confirm Antoni are voting to essentially eviscerate the BLS and its jobs data." "The articles and tweets I've seen him publish are probably the most error-filled of any think tank economist right now," Jessica Riedl, a senior fellow at another conservative think tank, the Manhattan Institute, also wrote on social media. Antoni, a federal budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation, is a longtime critic of the BLS. He has called its statistics "phoney baloney" and last year urged the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) "to take a chainsaw to the BLS". In the Fox interview, he said the jobs report, which includes the country's unemployment rate, the number of jobs created over the last month, and other data, was unreliable. "It's a serious problem that needs to be fixed immediately," Antoni told FOX Business. "Until it is corrected, the BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports but keep publishing the more accurate, though less timely, quarterly data," he added.
