they're gonna turn every remaining facet of government interface into a manosphere podcast, ie, a dumb white guy telling everyone who ostensibly works for him that they're gross pieces of shit who deserve all the bad stuff in their lives because they jack off too much

Unemployment has risen to 1,737,000. That's up 64,000 in the last 3 months and up 230,000 in the last year

On the wider measure of underemployment, there are now over 5 million underemployed - up by nearly 500,000 on a year ago.

There are now 6.9 people seeking work for every vacancy

Heard about this earlier, and my jaw didn’t drop. You know who else isn’t surprised? Pretty much every Republican.

As someone who’s been a frequent target, none of this shocks me. I don’t expect real consequences from the right because I doubt today is the first day they heard about it.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

When government invests in its people—with universal healthcare and higher education—then the commerce takes care of itself, and the economy grows from a robust, educated, healthy middle class—we were never really very good at this, but it’s sad now that we’re not even gonna pretend to try anymore.

Jasmine Crockett is a STAR, you guys

she is meeting the moment better than almost anyone around her and the fact that she's doing it every day on every topic really makes you feel like this is not someone who is going to get discouraged or run out of steam

I am so glad we have her right now

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120.

Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars.

Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families.

Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

Every American with a 401(k) is unnecessarily hemorrhaging money right now and the price of everything you’re about to buy is gonna go up by 25% but that’s OK because the guy who bankrupts everything he’s ever touched is calling the shots

Once again, in an exhausted voice: None of the terrible things are a distraction from the other terrible things. It's all happening. It's all real. It's all hurting real people.

When Dems call "distraction," they're failing the people getting hurt.

It's also a terrible strategy.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back?

Eliminating FEMA eliminates the government’s ability to help middle class and working families to rebuild—increasing the likelihood that impacted land is abandoned and cheap and easier for the rich to grab up, develop, and profit from.

They’re robbing us.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."
A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along
In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

Wondering how much of The Thing Right Now is that older people fundamentally don't understand the dangers of online trolling and don't see how it intersects with what's going on with Musk and his bros. There is still a very fundamental "Online isn't real life" thing in too many brains.
