Epstein Files dangled; stats withheld. #econsky
We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

How vile do you have to be, as a doctor, to oppose vaccines that prevent disease—just to back a regime that’s fine with people getting sick? The vaccines we once championed shouldn’t become casualties of politics.
Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin and, as Louisiana’s surgeon general, halted the state’s vaccination campaign. He’s just been quietly promoted to second in command at the CDC.

After ousting the BLS director and scrapping the October jobs and inflation reports, Trump is now canceling release of the advance Q3 GDP estimate.

Trump doesn't mind turning the lights off on the economy because he’d rather Americans not know how badly it’s doing under him.

If we really care about justice, we release all the Epstein files. Let the truth speak, let the victims be heard, and let accountability finally begin.
Our committee has subpoenaed the release of the entire Epstein files. No tampering, no obstructing.

If AI becomes the norm in creative writing, we risk losing authentic human stories. A future with AI-driven content could dilute originality and emotion. Balance is crucial. #futurism
Yes. So AI can take that manuscript and it will help them write whatever shit Hollywood CEOs want, replace writers, hire 1 to clean it up. That’s the future David Ellison wants.
Pretending your information isn’t valuable is partly why these tech companies have had free rein.
