We have an administration who would rather have to say this on live television than have a functioning structure that would allow us to know the unemployment rate.
Kevin Hassett on the October jobs report: "We'll maybe be able to concoct something, but we'll never actually know for sure what the unemployment rate was in October."

The Democrats lost the election because they weren't relatable to everyday Americans
Eric Trump: "You can send $500 million worth of bitcoin on a Sunday night at 11pm while having a glass of wine with your wife for virtually zero fees."

The layers of lies and immorality here is astonishing.
BROWN: What do you say to someone who would ask, where is the sense of humanity? Why are you going to the Supreme Court to fight against SNAP payments?
BROOKE ROLLINS: Oh, Pamela. I mean, really?

I’m pretty sure that if this involved, say, Starmer, Corbyn, or Biden, rather than Trump, they’d be forced out of office INSTANTLY, and there’d be no chance of them claiming witch hunt or fake news…
Just look at Mandelson - out on his ear in days, and for far less than this!! 🤷🏻♂️
Wake up, America!!

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Put another way: We get dumb and immoral leaders because of dumb and immoral voters.
People want to blame the decay of civic life on the politicians, but in reality, the politicians are a symptom of the decay in civic life. They get elected so frequently with such dismal skills and abilities, precisely because many of the best people aren’t participating.
I've written about Pericles, Lincoln, and the decay of civic life. You're welcome. I know this is the content everyone wanted.

I was diagnosed with cancer 3 yrs ago today. (They told me then I had 1 year to live & I'm still here!) I have learned intensely how much MORE POWER insurance companies have than doctors in decisions about a person's medical care. I don't understand how any sane person could defend that.
Bernie Sanders: We need universal healthcare, and we must pass a Medicare for All, single-payer program to provide comprehensive coverage to all with zero out-of-pocket expenses, and full freedom of choice regarding healthcare providers.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

It's now [checks calendar] November of 2025, guys.
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

This question by Mr. Ryssdal, while it applies very well to the specific topic he retweets here, will also be the name of the chapter on our era in the history books.
What the hell are we doing?
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

#Horror fans: I've been reading horror for over 40 years, but this book I'm reading now is, I think, the THIRD book of my life where I can honestly say there have been times I'm literally a little scared to turn the page! Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward Girls.
