If you read in a history book about a dictator in failing health who cut off money and food supplies from his people, attacked them with violent gendarmes, seemed oblivious to a national public outburst of anger in local elections, and wiled away the days building vast palaces, what would you think

U.S. employers have announced 1.1 million layoffs so far this year—the largest reading since the pandemic recession.
The layoff totals are on par with 2008 and 2009 job cuts during the Great Recession.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Basically the Democrats are health food, the Republicans are methamphetamine, and the news media is your most toxic friend who encourages you to consume the latter over the former because livestreaming you while you're tweaking out gets them the most engagement online.
You can still find videos of the Biden Administration's daily press briefings, and I shit you not, the #1 topic for probably half of them was 'Us and other Dems are awesome at running the economy, Republicans want to make us tailspin into a recession,' and the media would never print a word of it.
It’s funny to see how many people here are insisting that Dems never even try to make this case when I think of it as “Bill Clinton’s favourite stat” which he brings up variations of literally every time he has a chance lol

Hope that plenty of people hammer home on how this is a choice that the admin is making. It is legal for them to send out food stamps and illegal to pay the military. The government has chosen to commit a crime to pay the military but is unwilling to lift a finger to feed people

Polls show voters now trust Democrats more to handle the economy
The issue that sank Democrats in 2024 now threatens to do the same to Republicans in 2025 and the 2026 midterms

Low key I want a campaign promise from the next Dem nominee to immediately gut whatever gets built here. What goes inside it I don't really care but everything within gets trashed by the end of February 2029.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

This is quite a hed/subhed.
1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex.
2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands
3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces.
It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

vance has got to be the most cucked vp of all time. absolutely no power, completely subservient to a sundowning blowhard and an unelected nazi sleaze, so bored of waiting around for grandpa to give him something to do that he’s organizing forum raids like goons dropping in on habbo hotel
