🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

Low country SC folks! Come see me Thursday night at the Pat Conroy Literary Center ‼️ with the amazing Dana Ridenour

Just chatted with a volunteer for our local food bank. She says biggest helps right now are monetary donations and PROTEIN.

Researching projects is fun—I like to fall deeply into a subject for a year or two—but we should be careful to stop when we have what we need and get back to the real work at hand: writing. It’s easy to do too much research and it’s easy to not do enough. You’ll feel it when it’s right. #booksky

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

If any of my friends are from India but raised in the U.S. south, or you know someone with this background, I am looking for an authenticity reader. Please let me know.

Do these eyes make my hands look big

Had an amazing time at the Gothic Cabaret tonight at storyparloravl ‼️ Got to hear a great @palimpsestproductions episode and @kellyncarniwrites read from her novel. Behold my haul.

I shouldn’t read reviews but I saw one today that said I portrayed southern white people as racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc. It goes on to say that these things happen outside the south too….yeah no shit (looks around at the dumpster fire of America 2025).

At what point when you’re paying troops with your own private money do they not just become mercenaries

It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.

Some pics from Plott Hound Books tonight. We had a full house.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade. https://cnn.it/4o5pBGv

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.
