Again: dumbest timeline.
A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

There’s been a lot of talk about how bsky users don’t understand humor but as it turns out the brainrot goes all the way to the top.
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

We continue to live in the dumbest timeline.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Looking forward to those multi-million-attendee protests to start turning their ire toward these useless leaders.
If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.

We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

These assholes think we're all idiots.
🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.

If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

Dem leadership is so mind-numbingly useless
CNN: Was the shutdown worth it?

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: We have waged a battle on behalf of the American people.

CNN: But you didn't get what you want.

JEFFRIES: At the end of the day, the fight lives on.

It's insignificant if they vote NO now but you would think that at least for symbolism and pretending they are mad they would post 'I vote no and Schumer must resign.' But they aren't even pretending to be "betrayed" by leadership. Total theatre.

Consider that Tuesday's elections showed that dems could win *despite* dem leadership, despite Schumer relentlessly ratfucking them even up to the very last minute.

Millions of people volunteered, and saw for themselves how totally fucking useless dem leaders were compared to themselves.

Article does not mention if they will be paid. Also, no explanation on why this took SIX YEARS. Furthermore, no mention of whether they faced criminal charges for their assault (or faced literally any consequences whatsoever before now).

As always: ACAB.

I never see this really emphasized in news about Senate votes so - reminder that the 45 Democratic senate seats represent something like 54% of the population.

This whole sports betting thing is going great, y'all.
Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

Dems aren’t the owner of that decision, though. The GOP is fighting a court order to fund SNAP. The GOP can kill the filibuster and reopen the gov’t without a single Dem vote. The GOP wants to take away healthcare, and is willing to starve people to do it. The GOP owns this, entirely. Not the Dems!
I think one thing we lose sight of is that it’s really easy to chant that we gotta touch the stove, and it’s a completely different thing to be the owner of the ongoing decision that 40 million people gotta go hungry. That’s a heavy thing and I’m not at all surprised that some Dems are worried.

My god, if this is what they fold for it will be a monumental betrayal
How much lead do you have to ingest to think you can sell voters on your victory of creating new convoluted HSAs to replace (and, likely, be less than) what used to be a couple button clicks on the ACA marketplace website? Nobody asked for this and nobody will like it.

Menswear guy with the eagle eye.
I think this bag is fake.

Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.

This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

Trump, of course, is lying. "When I was president the number was a tiny fraction of what it is now" is simply not true. In 2017, Trump's first year, SNAP participation was at 42.3 million. The highest year of SNAP participation under Biden was 42.2mil. As of May, it's 41.7mil, the same as 2024.
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

Seems real bad.
Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate

This streak dies tomorrow

Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months

This blind spot will remain forever
Here's the planned BLS data release schedule for Nov 2025.

On Tues, it couldn't release Sept job openings, hires, layoffs and firings data.

This morning, it couldn't release 2025Q3 business Productivity and Costs data.

Tomorrow, it can't release Oct 2025 #JobsReport
