Two-Buck Chuck Schumer has lost control of his caucus. Time to fall on his sword and let someone competent take over the Senate minority leadership role. I nominate Elizabeth Warren.

Had the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly nonfarm payrolls report for October, economists surveyed by Dow Jones expect it would have shown a decline of 60,000 jobs and an unemployment rate increase to 4.5%.

So am I right in assuming that the Trumpists are manufacturing a "war" against Venezuela in order to set the stage for the almost unlimited presidential wartime powers enabled by the declaration of a state of emergency in the US?

Good for US District Judge Sara Ellis.
Federal judge enters broader order governing feds' use of force during immigration blitz
The judge previously forbade federal agents from using tear gas or other “riot control” weapons against people who pose no immediate threat and without two warnings during the deportation campaign. Ho...

1/ If they hadn't realized it already, Trump and his Banana Republicans must now be convinced that there is no way that they will be able to win free and fair elections in the 2026 midterms. Even their Senate majority could be at risk.

"Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling."
Yes. As I have been saying, in the US white supremacism provides the affective core of MAGA fascism. Rich or poor MAGA fascists believe they are superior to those brown and black individuals being persecuted and killed by Trump.

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.
A future marked by scarcity and disaster.
A future these people are accelerating.
That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.

He is a moron.
The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Teen Vogue and their incredible reporters have been the bar for a bunch of years... Their reporting was the frontline of holding back fascism and protecting all of us.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
