It's bad.
Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.
These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").
Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.
This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Just a reminder that measles virus is very infectious with one infected individual spreading it to (on average) 12-18 others in a susceptible population.
With vaccination rates below 92% or so, measles is likely to spread extensively and quickly.

For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.”
He was brilliant from Day One.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

Democrats are divided about pursuing a third Trump impeachment.
But Trump’s second term actions — abuses of federal power amidst a racial backlash — fits well with previous historical patterns. 🧵

Lying, manipulating administration, and she's the talking head spreading lies. The truth is Biden fixed Trump's economy from the COVID crisis and the whole let's drink bleach craziness. You can't deny Biden's good numbers. They know the dems know they're Lying, and they think their base is stupid.
when he is finished, she has no immunity for her lies...

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

NYC said NO to Trump and is still standing, and so is Miami, and the Indiana Senate, and MTG. Congress Republicans and the SCOTUS don’t say No to Trump because they’re afraid of him but because they’re racist, homophobic, xenophobic, corrupt and anti American values and people just like him.

The bandages on Trump's hand look like they are covering the marks left by an IV line. It could certainly be something else.
Why don't members of the press ask exactly when the last time was that the President had an IV and what it was for?
