Trump’s Dept. of Transportation has:

There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another
Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.

The Indeed job postings data shows no acceleration in the pace of job market cooling through mid-November - if anything, there's a very small ongoing deceleration (i.e. cooling more slowly)

[Consistent with the claims data]

The special election for Tennessee's seventh congressional district, which includes Nashville, is where cracks in Donald Trump’s base are starting to show. @garrisonhayes.bsky.social talks to Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn.

“Willing to do the work”
This is exactly the feeling I get from @aftynbehn.bsky.social .
TN-7 is competitive in part bc of the environment & in part bc @runforsomething.net alum @aftynbehn.bsky.social
is an incredible community-rooted candidate who is willing to do the work to make the case to voters, even when the odds are against her.

This is why we build a bench *everywhere.”

One week post-surgery and still made it to the polls — because voting is worth showing up for. 🗳️ I voted for @aftynbehn.bsky.social, who shows up for Tennessee. But whatever your choice: vote. It matters more than we think.

@aftynbehn.bsky.social isn't worried about doing favors for Big Money donors because she fights for her constituents.

She has always put the needs of working families before all else and is focused on making people's lives better. #TN07

yet another case of U.S. Citizens arrested by immigration agents on serious charges — then the government drops those charges

A common trait in many cases of citizens detained by immigration agents that @propublica.org reviewed

I’m not a career politician bought and paid for by billionaires or supported by party bosses. If you had told me a year ago I would have raised over a million dollars to run for the U.S. Senate as a no name candidate, I would have laughed in your face.
