Airstream's Frank Lloyd Wright Trailer Envisions 'Usonian' Design On-the-Go
Throughout, echoes of Wright's 'Usonian' design language come to life, evoking his 20th-century vision of efficient small footprints and bringing nature indoors. Initial inspiration was provided by a rare 1939 design for a mobile kitchen by Wright that was never physically built, but highlighted the designer's early concepts of mobile architecture. Wright's 1955 Martin-Senour Paint collection also served as a primary reference for the desert-inspired color palette, including mustard yellow, deep red, earthy ochre, turquoise, blue, and green.
To allow for ease of movement and abundant sunlight, the overhead storage was relocated, accommodating 29 windows — including two glass skylights. The trailer also includes two circular porthole windows, referencing Wright's later embrace of circular elements and Airstream's dedication to aerodynamic design. Inside the rear hatch is the modular sleeping area, featuring two twin beds that can be combined into a king-size bed and serve as a lounge area. A convertible dinette and desk both fold down to create small-space efficiency at the front, opening the area for living or transforming the sofa for an additional sleeping area. The design is topped off with a custom slatted ceiling fixture that spans the trailer, enhancing the effect of the skylights through dynamic light and shadow.
The Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Special Edition Travel Trailer is available now from Airstream's nationwide dealer network, with pricing starting at $184,900 USD MSRP. For more information, visit the officialAirstream website.

SuperMotocross, Monster Energy extend sponsorship through 2030, includes playoffs
Monster Energy has renewed its agreement with Feld Motor Sports' American Motorcycle Association (AMA) Supercross Championship for an additional five years, running through 2030. In addition, they will become the title sponsor of the entire SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) series. According to Adam Stern, the deal is in the mid-eight-figure range in total revenue for the league during the contracted period. Beginning in 2007, Monster Energy and Supercross will have a 24-year history, making it one of the longest-running relationships in the energy drink brand's history, according to Mitch Covington, Senior Vice President of Sports Marketing at Monster Energy. The SMX League combines points from Supercross and the AMA Pro Motocross series, encompassing 28 regular-season rounds of competition. The three-round playoffs bring the total to 31 rounds. Negotiations for the extension were held between the two companies, with Feld Motor Sports VP/Global Partnerships Dave Muye leading the effort for the series. During the 2025 Supercross season, 828,796 spectators attended events, including more than 329,000 who participated in the popular pre-race FanFest activities, where companies like Monster Energy had the opportunity to engage directly with fans. Also in 2025, the Supercross series accounted for eight of the 10 most-streamed races ever on NBC Sports' streaming service, Peacock TV.

A raging Trump digs in on his trade war after brutal jobs report
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is doubling down on its trade war against much of the world despite increasingly harrowing economic numbers emerging at home, with stock markets and Treasury yields tumbling Friday on news of the most significant slowdown in job growth since the pandemic. Government data showed the U.S. economy added 73,000 jobs in July — far fewer than expected — and issued revised numbers for the prior two months that showed only 19,000 jobs were created in May, and 14,000 in June, amid widespread uncertainty over President Trump's tariff policies and deep cuts to government employment. The unemployment numbers came a day after Trump signed an executive order increasing tariffs on 66 countries, further roiling a decades-old system of global trade. The chair of the White House council of economic advisors reacted to the unemployment report by saying the numbers are 'not what we want to see.' But Trump responded by directing his team to fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an ostensibly nonpartisan position responsible for overseeing the statistical analysis of jobs data, suggesting the numbers were politically 'manipulated.' She was fired hours later. 'I was just informed that our Country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory,' Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. McEntarfer was confirmed by a Senate vote of 86-8 in January 2024. He did not offer evidence to support his accusations of manipulated data, either for this year or before the 2024 election. 'We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes.' Paradoxically, Trump and his team also seemed to acknowledge the authenticity of the numbers by blaming the chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, for the unflattering results. For months, Powell has resisted pressure from Trump to lower interest rates amid concerns over stubbornly high inflation — and the prospect that prices will increase further if the president's trade war persists. The Federal Reserve chairmanship is another position meant to operate with independence. 'Inflation has cooled, wages have increased, unemployment is stable, and the private sector is growing,' Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement to The Times. 'President Trump's America First agenda has ensured new jobs go to American citizens, instead of illegals or foreign-born workers. The tariffs are raking in billions of dollars to make our country wealthy again. Jerome 'Too Late' Powell needs to cut rates so our economy can continue to boom.' At the closing bell, the Dow Jones industrial average had fallen over 500 points, while the NASDAQ was down over 2.25%. The U.S. dollar fell against other currencies. But the most telling moves may have occurred in the bond market, which saw the most drastic slumps in 10-year and two-year Treasury yields in a year. The increased unemployment rate, to 4.2%, came off government data reported earlier in the week that showed a dramatic decrease in imports and consumer demand to the United States, figures that have temporarily inflated economic growth numbers. Overall, economists are warning that U.S. gross domestic product could grow less than 2% this year, its worst performance since the height of the pandemic. Trump has had issues with unemployment data for many years, often using one of his favorite terms, 'fake,' to describe them. During his 2016 campaign, he argued that unemployment was worse than the government figures showed; once in the White House, he suggested the official data understated the strength of the economy. The timing of the latest jobs report comes at a politically inopportune moment for Trump, who had set Friday as a deadline for countries around the world to negotiate trade deals with the United States on his terms, or else face steep tariff rates. Only a handful of framework agreements were struck — with the European Union, South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom and Vietnam, among others — while dozens of other nations were hit with rate hikes. Major trading partners faced brutal increases, including Brazil, which now faces a 50% rate on most goods, and India, hit with 25% import duties. Switzerland was slammed with a 39% rate, but most countries on the list released by the White House were given 15% tariff rates. The new import taxes are to take effect Aug. 7. Economists have warned since April 2, when Trump declared 'Liberation Day' from a global system of free trade, that his new policies would devastate the U.S. economy, raising prices and slowing growth in the short term while depressing living standards for years to come. 'The good news,' Trump wrote on Friday, 'is that Tariffs are bringing Billions of Dollars into the USA!' Tariff discussions remain unresolved for Canada and Mexico, two of the United States' largest trading partners. Though Trump said this week that Friday was a firm deadline and would not be extended, on Thursday he said new tariffs on some Mexican goods would be delayed 90 days while the two countries continue to negotiate. Canada, on the other hand, remains at an impasse with the president over his demands. 'We will continue to negotiate with the United States on our trading relationship,' Mark Carney, Canada's prime minister, said in a statement, but, 'the Canadian government is laser focused on what we can control: building Canada strong.' 'We can give ourselves more than any foreign government can ever take away,' he added.

US Factory Employment Drops to 5-Year Low as Manufacturing Slump Deepens
American factory employment sank in July to the lowest level since mid-2020, underscoring a deepening manufacturing downturn driven by dwindling demand and persistent trade policy uncertainty, according to closely watched industry surveys released Aug. 1 by ISM and S&P Global. The drop in hiring came amid a broader deterioration in operating conditions. Both surveys reported soft orders and reduced output as factories cut back on inventories and workers. ISM's employment index slid 1.6 points to 43.4 percent—its lowest reading since June 2020 and well below the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction—marking the sixth straight month of job losses in the sector.
