The job market is plummeting under Trump's leadership as he leads us into a government shutdown that will cause even more pain. bsky.app/profile/more...

WASHINGTON (AP) - US consumer confidence drops again in September on lingering pessimism over inflation and a weakening job market. [lowest since April] @apnews.com @cnbc.com

There is going to be a Recession soon in U.S. Weakening job market along with negative industrial production in the past few months is likely to worsen. Expect to see consumers pull back spending in 4th quarter of 2025.

Lumber prices and input costs are killing new construction in U.S.

Close to cycle lows for private hires:

Todays data suggest the labor market is cooling pretty rapidly despite low layoffs and unemployment. The hiring rate hit a new cycle low alongside a decline in quits suggesting it is weak demand rather than limited supply and consumers are reporting a lack of job opportunities

Like I’ve always said, ADP produces an accurate look at private employment trends.

Tariff Pain is real and economic outlook is not good in many industries in U.S.

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January

Heather Marsh examines how grief is weaponized for hate & control, fear manufactured, victims politicized, & heroes attacked. She urges us to push back against endosocialism’s hostility, embrace exosocial connection, & protect those striving for good in the face of nihilism, cruelty, & despair. #3E

Fresh Epstein docs spill the beans on elite enablers who groomed girls as young as 13 for the powerful crowd. Bankers, celebs, and intel bigshots shielded the monster—cynical as ever, their "philanthropy" just greased the trafficking wheels. #EpsteinFiles

🚨The Russian asset in the White House & his regime just visually catalogued every single flag officer in our military, and televised it across the globe. If that does not raise massive alarm bells for you, then you are woefully fucking stupid.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

If Congress doesn’t act to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, KFF’s latest analysis finds that premium payments would more than double on average in 2026. See the data: on.kff.org/3WfWxjj

OMFG. Read the room, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Adams is a CROOK. Cuomo is a sex pest and probably a crook. Mamdani is a decent person.

Our vision to become the epicenter of the quantum ecosystem is becoming a reality, Illinois.

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

The #ClimateCrisis is a global challenge that no nation can tackle in isolation. #ClimateAction is urgently needed. It’s time for countries to step up their efforts to curb the looming climate emergency: www.unep.org/topics/clima...

I cannot, in good conscience, support a budget that will allow health insurance premiums to double for 1 million+ Georgians.

Less than one month after removing his post accusing Trump of being in the files, and walked it back with a half effort apology….Elon’s ai company was awarded a $200m federal contract. Thats what happened. And continues to happen.

I don’t talk about this publicly, but hegseth drives me out of my silence. I attended West Point from 1998-2000. I left, along with about 5 other young women, as a direct result of the military’s then-shameful (non) policies addressing sex harassment and assault.

Funny how it’s backwards

Bessent got a text from Ag Sec.. zoom in

Does any meetings with the President start on time?

They’re using the exact same lie about the $1.5T for “illegal migrants” as a reason for shutdown. Remember this reason. It will most likely be mentioned in the pentagon meeting tomorrow, and potential martial law.

Same as it ever was.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

In 2023, Sergey Brin and Elon Musk were both subpoenaed by the US Virgin Islands as part of its civil case against JPMorgan over Jeffrey Epstein’s activities. The filing said #Epstein “may have referred or attempted to refer” Musk as a JPMorgan client. #OpDeathEaters

At some point soon, the pro-democracy collective needs to shift from reporting to responding. We must allow ourselves to go to the thought spaces of what we would do if the worst happens. Say they revoke women's right to vote. Rather than asking what the line is, we need to guard it.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

Bezos owns Koru. It is the world’s largest sailing yacht. It costs $500 million dollars. It is 410 feet long and costs $30 million dollars a year to operate it. It has a 250 foot support vessel, and it has three jacuzzis. It is half the size of a cruise liner. Why aren’t we taxing the rich?

ICE Trump regime troopers attacking David Black, a US citizen and pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, for advocating for human rights outside of the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois. (Sept 21, 2025)

This isn’t right. Masked individuals raiding small businesses are endangering our communities, not making them safer.

📰 BREAKING Leaked emails show Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just trafficking women + girls. He was brokering international security deals. More below ⬇️ 🧵

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

I had missed this post from Ed Whelan questioning whether Lindsey Halligan was even validly appointed in the first place. One minor point: Whelan says that the 1986 Alito memo "might not be in the public domain," but in fact it is, thanks to the Alina Habba litigation!

NEW: Despite Trump's appearing to waver on sending troops into Portland, Pete Hegseth issued this memo today purporting to federalize 200 members of the Oregon National Guard. This is an exhibit in Oregon's just-filed lawsuit challenging the deployment. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71481...

House Oversight Democrats released another batch of Epstein estate records: daily schedules, flight logs, ledgers. Entries note planned meetings with Trump backers, Steve Bannon (Feb 16, 2019) and Peter Thiel (Nov 27, 2017) and Elon Musk. #OpDeathEaters #Epstein

By the way: Trump still hasn’t released the Epstein files.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

Release the Epstein Files

Roy Black, former Jeffrey Epstein lawyer found dead. #SpookyConnections

Okay so let’s say a few countries may have the Epstein files or the blackmail: France, UK, Russia & Israel. The last two likely hung it over Trump’s head plus bribes; now enter the Ukraine war; the UK invites Trump over, shows him what MI6 has, he changes position again.

Fresh Epstein files unmask billionaire Elon Musk as a potential island guest on the pedophile's schedule in 2014, while royal rogue Prince Andrew hopped his jet in 2000 alongside Ghislaine Maxwell. Elites' sordid flights of fancy shatter their throne of innocence. #EpsteinFiles

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Jeffries: "Here's what DHS has done. DHS put out a hit list directed at Democratic members of Congress, Dem governors, and Dem officials. It's a hit list saying to crazies all across the country 'target these people.' So no, we're not gonna be lectured by DHS. Take your hit list down."
