The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.

Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.

Deals with this regime are meaningless.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Morales: I don’t care if you’re the most individualistic person on the planet—because you “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” and think government should stay out of your business and “don’t tread on me.” Climate change is already treading on you, and you should care about this issue.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing.

Let's do some math.

Amazon:
Front-line warehouse workers earn ~$18–$20/hr.

CEO Andy Jassy earned roughly $40+ million last year.

UPS:
Loaders and unloaders earn ~$18–$22/hr.

The CEO’s compensation? Around $24 million.

Both companies have announced major workforce reductions.
