CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

i guess we will never know if they were ICE or not
“Three men in black vests entered a NY restaurant claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker’s hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person’s head. Another, believing the burglars’ story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM”

On top of refusing to reopen the government while withholding SNAP funding, this regime has cancelled USDA's annual hunger report.
They can try to erase the data that proves their cruelty, but they can’t erase the pain of MILLIONS of hungry Americans.

MSNBCs Nicolle Wallace played the moment Venezuelan Opposition Leader Machado was told she had received the Nobel Peace Prize. Her surprise, candor, sheer astonishment was a thing of beauty. "I am just one person, I did not deserve this," she said. Nicolle said perfectly, "A Capsule of Beauty" .

This is total BS! This is Russian authoritarianism our fathers and grandfathers fought against!
Larry Ellison believes more surveillance makes “citizens behave.” Trump believes it makes subjects obey. The danger isn’t what Trump tweets. It’s what Ellison builds while nobody’s watching.👇

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.
It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.
