From The @economist.com After swinging hard right in 2024's Trump vs Harris race, key counties in NJ with higher Latino populations (Hudson and Passaic) snapped back to their 2020 Trump vs Biden vote behavior. Hopefully they've learned a memorable lesson about the GOP.

More riches for the rich. Trump has forgotten his forgotten people. "[KPMG] noted that the Treasury’s moves provided “significant flexibility” for clients to trim their bills, allowing them to “cherry-pick” the rules that best suit their needs." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

For all my Keystone Skeeters... good round-up covering an eventful week.

Feeling obliged to say that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has caught a ton of flak, especially back in the spring as he and other Dems were relentless on kitchen table issues and affordability. Like this IG post is from May. Clearly, we saw on Tuesday... it helped. www.instagram.com/reel/DIuJ_no...

From the @economist.com this morning:

All that And this...

Is it sick/sad that I'm looking forward to this dude skeeting through next year's midterm? Yes, both. Hopefully he'll fully convert from the other place by then.

I'm not sure I agree with this, but sharing as a gift nevertheless. Elections this week will show how unpopular Donald Trump really is (You can open the link five times within seven days. After that it will expire.) www.economist.com/united-state...

Many people in my circle want to take direct action to support our democracy, but they aren't sure what to do. They make calls and attend protests, but they aren't sure it's enough. A few friends and I created a flyer to help reach people inside the rightwing bubble. (1/4)

Sort of incredible that we live in a world where the vice president of the United States is just spewing the sort of horseshit that literal children are traditionally taught is wrong

We live in a stupid, stupid time.

Safe to say, pretty much everyone is surprised that the economy has not faltered under this admin's leadership... perhaps even Trump himself. (I'm not talking about the stock market, a different animal.) All political messaging and posturing are predicated on our economic reality.

So fun-strating!

"YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR CANADA!" A humorous barb way too advanced for these cretins.

I am fast becoming a single issue voter. And that issue is prosecute every one of these motherfuckers.

We don't talk often enough about the sociopathy that often results from being born on third base. People who were given everything as kids often end up pretty fucking weird? People who know what it's like to live lean tend to end up more humble and sane. Tell me I'm full of shit; I won't mind.

The fern spores are crazy. Lily flower pollen? Unreal.

I just woke up. Is this real? Wtf?

god damn lmao

Never heard about the "enrollment cliff" that higher ed institutions in the US are facing? Basically, in 2007ish, US families started having fewer babies, and now those cohorts are college-aged. There are too few students to support all our colleges/unis. (-->)

40B 40 billions 4 times 10 billions 400 times 100 millions $40,000,000,000 Damn. It's like Trump is ordering every American household (127.8M) to wire a new Xbox worth to Argentina. I bet most MAGA folk didn't realize they were voting to Make Argentina Great Again. 🇦🇷

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
