"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Reminder: last week a Federal judge ruled that Trump had no authority to send Troops to Washington, D.C. Trump ignored the ruling and this week two National Guardsmen were shot. Trump tried to blame Biden. We know the truth.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it.

A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

While Trump rages against Members of Congress for reminding the military about the Constitution, ICE continues to illegally TERRORIZE people.

DJT - why don’t you stop your goon squad from breaking laws and hurting innocent people EVERY FUCKING DAY?!?!
A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Surprise!

Reuters confirms that Kushner & Witkoff met in private with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy in Miami to help draft the new “peace plan” for Ukraine. This leaves the administration wide open to serious counterintelligence & influence-risk concerns.

He lies blatantly, constantly.
He is transparently needy, manipulated by flattery. He seems unable to grasp even basic concepts although he’s a self-proclaimed “genius.” He hates anyone who dares to contradict him.

I don’t need to tell you his name — we all know exactly who I’m talking about.

Americans don’t like the word “appeasement.”

It carries WWII resonance and instantly signals capitulation to an adversary.

Even among right-leaning voters, “being soft on Russia” is one of the few remaining red lines.

It will become a defining stain for this government, not a one-day scandal.👇

A reminder that Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine came from Russia going back to 2016. From the Mueller Report:

My 12yo daughter and I take media breaks together and go outside to sit and “touch grass.”

We sat on a blanket, she sketched this tree, and I took this photo.

It’s just one - of a million - stunning autumn trees. And just one peaceful moment in a tumultuous world.

This administration breaks my heart every time it fucks over America. The destruction wrought over the past 11 months is totally overwhelming. It’s like everything everywhere all at once!

This is also a complete abandonment of NATO, the most important international alliance the U.S. has ever been a part of. It is a reversal of decades of policy in Europe- burning to ash the global reputation, influence, and status of our country. /5
