what a complete fucking collapse
Drama on the House floor: Republicans don’t have the votes to pass the rule to bring up the NDAA. Currently five GOP NOs. Leadership is holding the vote open while they figure out what to do.

I first encountered it in Zora Neale Hurston’s travelogue “Tell My Horse” but I think we can just credit the Haitians
I do not remember who made the observation but it was a good one:
Haitian culture created the zombie to express of the horror of the prospect of being forced to work past the release of death.
Let the dead lie.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

Having $800M in your investment account vs $400M doesn't change your life at all, but having a labor market where your underlings are desperate to cling to jobs vs one where they can walk across the street and get a better offer makes a huge difference in the day to day reality of the very wealthy

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

A huge number of people were deprived of citizenship by the Nazis. Political opponents first, then Jews. Maybe more than 200,000 people in total.
without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.
revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Pedo is literally killing small businesses. Remember when Kamala talked about investing in small businesses with a $50K tax credit. Pedo only cares about large companies who bend the knee. The ACA subsidy situation will do further damage. Where do you think many small businesses go for healthcare?
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"
