We won't have an official September jobs report number from BLS for a while (maybe ever), but this ADP private sector figure does not include the ~150,000 federal workers who took delayed layoffs at the end of September nor does it include any shutdown-related layoffs implemented by the White House.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

BREAKING: U.S. private companies lost 32,000 jobs in September, far below expectations of a 51,000 gain, payrolls processor ADP reported Wednesday. This marks the biggest decline since March 2023. t.co/wSC5ra79e3

As I said, the inference was there, now it’s being expressed overtly:

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

Border Patrol agent talks about how he knows that the people he's arresting at this nutrition bar factory in NY are "literal street rats" who would "eat our kids"

One reason Trump 2.0 is so different from Trump 1.0 is SCOTUS immunity decision. Without fear of criminal prosecution, Trump’s full wrath has been unleashed.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

Well said by Karl Jacoby, this has been much on my mind, need to think about the absurd meeting of generals in this light

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

The most fascinating thing about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in 1937 is that Donald Trump and his Republican Party are doing everything possible to avoid the full and unabridged release of the Epstein files in 2025 and to make you think about anyfuckingthing else.

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...

You should read the actual Comey indictment. It is shockingly weak — in a manner that makes the true authoritarian intent even more obvious www.vox.com/politics/462...

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

got some bad news for anyone who voted for Trump because he promised to bring down prices www.ft.com/content/dd6d...

The guy doesn’t even have a mask on. He knows he’s surrounded by cameras. He’s doing this because he knows he’ll get away with it, because the most powerful person on the planet has blessed him and his agency with this power

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

By no means is this hyperbole 👉

It is hard to imagine a more corrupt set of charges than those that will surely emerge from EDVA after the US Attorney was fired for refusing to bring politically motivated unfounded charges & replaced by a hack who makes Jeannine Pirro look like Clarence Darrow. This is authoritarianism in action.
