Trump says he inherited a weak economy. Biden created 16M+ jobs in 4 yrs, a record. How weak was Biden's last qtr? New jobs: Nov: 227K Dec: 256K Jan: 143k Trump by month: (Total 495K) F 102K M 120K A 158K M 19K J -13K J 79(P) A 22(P) Sept/Oct N/A Tump's weak. Be careful out there.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

After 7 l-o-n-g weeks, wishing Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who is the 158th & final vote to release the EPSTEIN Files, a wonderful Swearing-In Day, although not everyone is all that happy about it. #AccountabilityIsComing

Trump claims the latest release of Epstein emails regarding him spending hours with one of his underage sex slaves is a hoax - just like climate change.

Let's see, a Nazi-saluting fascist in charge of a robot army?? That's a hard pass. shorturl.at/n5nC1

Most hated in America! #arresttrump

There are 8.6M undocumented immigrants employed in the US, or 5.6% of the workforce (~1 in 17 workers). We do not have 8.6M people to take those jobs, unless you paid far more to do the work. If you think inflation is bad now under Trump, deport 8.6M workers.

BREAKING: After 10 months of Trump, how is consumer sentiment doing? It's at the lowest level ever. Apparently, not everyone believes his BS.

Reminds me of this from last week:

Page One in Miami. @miamiherald.com

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

BofA: cash on large-cap corporate balance sheets as a % of market cap is below average. And hear historic lows

Youth unemployment rate near a 4-year high at 9.3% Unemployment rate: 20-24 year old graduate+

“.. I understand why the dark blue line makes folks uncomfortable, and it certainly invites questions of sustainability. “.. at the same time, however, I’m not looking to pick a fight with the light blue line today (even if that day will come).” - GS desk/Pasquariello

Gov't shutdown must end by next week, or millions will not be spending Thanksgiving w/ their family. OCT's massive layoffs insure a rate cut from the Fed in NOV. SCOTUS must curb illegal tariffs to cut inflation & save economy teetering on recession. Thx, @realDonaldTrump

How out of touch is the Trump WH? Two days ago, Secretary Lutnick said jobs are booming and inflation is dropping. Both are the opposite. OCT had the most layoffs in 22 years. They're making up lies, hoping most people are as stupid as MAGA. shorturl.at/B8OQc

Bloomberg TV is deservedly joking about the Trump admin's lies. Jonathan Ferro: "[Sec'y Treasury] Scott Bessent says jobs are booming and inflation of falling? How great is that?" Mike McKee: "If only it were true." Trump, & el, cannot lie their way out of the US economic problems they created.

Cava & Chipotle stocks are way down 54% and 47% YTD, respectively, while McDonalds is up 3%. That tells you everything about the impact on produce inflation on people dining out. They are either not dining out as much, or going to cheaper alternatives. You can thank Trump tariffs & deportations.

Trump's tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl or nat'l security. They are taxation without representation, b'c the House abdicated its responsibility for tariffs to their fascist dictator. SCOTUS needs to enforce the Constitution and return representation for taxes to the House. Period.

This is an excellent idea!!!

So, it appears that the 40M Americans on SNAP need to move to Argentina to get US aid.

Trump will tell you the US economy has never been better. However, US manufacturing has now shrunk 8 months in a row, driving US credit worthiness to its lowest level since 2019, the last year of Trump's first term. Impeach Trump for destroying the strong economy he inherited.

Could AI let us talk to animals? 🐾 Scientists are exploring how AI language models for human speech could help decode animal communication. To achieve this, more data on animal expressions such as sounds, movements, and pheromones is needed. If you could speak with animals, what would you say? 🧪

Mafia stuff:

About 1700 light years away lies the North America nebula (NGC 7000). My photo is of the Cygnus Wall section, an ~20 light year across area of strong star formation. This is an emission nebula, where light from forming stars ionizes the surrounding gas causing it to glow #astronomy #astrophotography

Dear climate deniers: Here's why a warming world will kill you: Kelp is in widespread decline overall due to ocean warming. The energy it provides to ecosystems is being replaced by phytoplankton. Why is this important? Phytoplankton is also in decline globally (about 1%/yr) shorturl.at/HxBb4
