حسنًا، إليكم الأمر، أيها الأصدقاء. في يوم السبت، ألقى *إيلون ماسك* قنبلة على *موظفي الحكومة الفيدرالية في الولايات المتحدة*. 🧨 أعلن أن كل موظف حكومي يحتاج إلى شرح *ما فعله الأسبوع الماضي* بوضوح - أو يخاطر بفقدان وظيفته! 🤯 واستمع إلى هذا، قال إيلون إن هذا التوجيه جاء *مباشرة من الرئيس دونالد ترامب*. 🧐

---

*ماذا حدث؟ 🤔*

لجأ إيلون إلى موقع X (الذي كان يُعرف سابقًا باسم Twitter) لمشاركة الأخبار. وبعد ذلك، تم إرسال مذكرة من مكتب إدارة شؤون الموظفين. 📩 وجهت المذكرة تعليمات لموظفي الحكومة الفيدرالية بتدوين خمسة أشياء قاموا بها في الأسبوع الماضي. ⏳ ولكن إليكم المشكلة: لا يُسمح بأي معلومات سرية! كان لديهم حتى منتصف ليل الاثنين لإرسالها.

As of today, November 8, 2025, the U.S. government is in a prolonged shutdown that has become the longest in U.S. history, starting from just after October 1, 2025. Key U.S. economic indicators are being delayed or released by private entities due to the shutdown.
U.S. Government Shutdown Update (November 8, 2025)
Status: The federal government remains largely shut down as Congress and the White House are at an impasse over a funding deal. The Senate has adjourned for the weekend, having failed to pass legislation to end the shutdown.
Impact: The shutdown is having significant impacts across the country, including:
Federal Workers: Roughly 1.4 million federal employees are working without pay, and many have missed multiple paychecks.
Travel: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has mandated flight reductions at major airports due to air traffic controller staffing shortages, leading to over a thousand flight cancellations and delays.
Food Assistance: States are making contingency plans to cover the shortfall in SNAP (food stamp) benefits, though the Trump administration announced it would use contingency funds to provide full benefits for November.
Economic Cost: The shutdown is estimated to be costing the economy billions of dollars each week, with Goldman Sachs estimating a reduction in fourth-quarter GDP growth.
Economic Indicators Update (November 8, 2025)
Due to the government shutdown, official data releases from agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) have been stalled.
Official Data Delays: Key government reports, such as the monthly jobs report (Nonfarm Payrolls), are delayed, leaving investors and policymakers in the dark about the official state of the economy.
Private Data Insights: Markets and the Federal Reserve are relying on alternative, private-sector data to assess economic conditions, which generally indicate a cooling labor market.
Consumer Sentiment: The University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment survey for November, a private indicator, was released today and showed a drop to a three-year low, largely attributed to worries about the prolonged shutdown and persistent price pressures.
Private Employment Reports: Recent private reports have painted a mixed but generally weak picture of the job market, with one report noting last month was the worst October for layoff announcements in over 20 years.
The current situation is adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding potential interest rate decisions in light of the cooling labor market signals and overall economic uncertainty. À
