Lori Chavez-DeRemer on jobs data: "Sometimes it's too late to get accurate data points ... we don't have that accurate data for the Fed to make a good decision, but I believe the Fed needs to cut interest rates again in December to really prop up this economy."

Zohran makes the old-school, reflexively pro-Israel Jewish establishment very uncomfortable. It’s because he is more aligned with the majority of American Jews on critical issues than they are. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
Zohran Mamdani is Now One of the Most Important Political Leaders of Jews Anywhere
That's a good thing. And the establishment HATES it!

Educated myself in the comments: This came out of the TikTok account of the infamous Schmoyoho, best known for AutoTune the News, and is also on YouTube (yay)! Anyway, I haven’t set foot in NYC in 30 years, but I am feeling in one with NYC after reading the news this morning and reposting this jam!

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”
