BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

On top of this, Trump has:

-Prevented the NLRB from operating
-Reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contractors
-Gutted OSHA
-Rolled back dozens of workplace health & safety regulations
-Dropped the FTC’s support for a noncompete ban

The “pro-worker" president.
NEW: This year, Trump ended collective bargaining rights for 1 million federal workers — ending union protections for 1 in 14 unionized workers in the U.S.

No, Trump hasn’t helped workers. He’s helped bosses exploit them. Lawrence S. Wittner in @inequality.org:

Trump's second term in office has been an all-out assault on organized labor.

While the administration has said it is cutting “woke programs” that “poison the minds of Americans", it actually funded fewer grants in every area of science and medicine.

“They brought everything to a stop,” said Sarah Kobrin, a branch chief at the N.I.H.’s National Cancer Institute

Policymakers who focus only on prices miss powerful affordability levers. Stronger labor laws, higher minimum wages, macro policy that keeps unemployment low, and a safety net that keeps job loss from being a financial catastrophe—these are all affordability policies. 9/

That wage shortfall—not recent price spikes—is the true driver of America’s affordability crisis. And reversing it must be central to any real affordability agenda. 8/

What this shows yet again is that DHS's "official version" of events simply shouldn't be believed without verification. In video after video, claims made by DHS officers and DHS itself were shown not to have occurred at all — or to have occurred in a substantially different way than first described.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

The DOGE cuts seemed to focus on tax teams that pursued enforcement of high income earners. The IRS had been building up enforcement on this area because most of the tax gap is driven by higher earners. Lax enforcement could cost hundreds of billions. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/five-quest...
