There it is.

My post on that. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/01/a...

Aye Aye, SIR!!

if the dollar has less value on the open market, what happens to the price of good? who eats that 15% loss on top of inflation? i have more questions than answers

The campaign commercial writes itself.

The Party is drastically further left than 90s, certainly more progressive than Obama years. Moves left every cycle. Simultaneously we have a Left contingent loudly explicitly or implicitly rejecting idea of voting for Democrats. While MAGA makes massive gains with minorities and young ppl.

Right now, the unemployment rate is 4.3%, but for Black women it's a staggering 6.7%. Over 320,000 Black women have lost their jobs from the federal govt to the private sector. This systematic targeting of Black women is intentional. It's devastating for our communities, economy, and our country.

We're in a recession.

Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.”

Someone mentioned the deficit, just wanted to share it if anyone is interested: www.foxbusiness.com/politics/fed...

You say “Tilly Norwood” and I think

The left: Liberals all want to focus on sexist, racist ideas and are worthless centirsts who have no morals. Also the left 5 seconds later: Hey, liberals where you going? You mean you don't want to lay down and give me your entire party and cheer for me while I talk about how much I hate you?

Trump won't back taiwan when china invades.. will he? And with that, they will invade.

The problem with the shutdown is I think the gop is fine with a shutdown. Fine with letting folks be harmed. Very fine with not reporting unemployment numbers and cutting employees. Which may mean this will take a while.

* Food inflation: 3.2% * Meat: 5.4% * Ground beef: 12.8% * Beef roasts: 13.6% * Steak: 16.6% @nypost.com www.foxbusiness.com/economy/beef...

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Swear her in.

The awesome video team at the New York Times helped me make this video about the shutdown and Obamacare premiums.

Prediction: we will not see monthly numbers this week, and they will announce they are only doing them quarterly now to "insure greater accuracy" or some shit. Because... they're gonna be baaaaddd.

THE TRUMP ECONOMY: US private sector businesses LOST 32,000 jobs in September, far below the expected gain of 51,000, per payroll processor ADP. August has been revised DOWN by 57,000, to -3,000.

Recession.

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

Maga is a bunch of people who have zero of the qualities they demand from everyone else A pile of pure lazy, immoral, uneducated trash demanding that no one else is educated, honorable, or fit.

👇🏽😳

Damn. Shit's about to get way worse. This is NOT the kind of speech you make for prevention. This is the kind of speech you give when you've already made plans to commit war crimes.

Oh god. The universe really is getting worse. We're even getting a second Simpson's movie. This is like the next level after jumping the shark. I'm sure there will be some dumb remark or action in the movie we can use for it.

While they have you distracted… (And the top 1% control more than 1/3rd)

Repubs are leveraging the firing of government employees to get Dems to concede to their budget bill. Dems want to protect your finances from an extreme rise in premiums (75%+) and prevent millions from losing healthcare. The parties are not the same.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Watched "One Battle After Another" ... interesting movie. The leftists in that movie were extremely active. Makes me wonder if we had a left more like that how things would be.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

As we watch the massive damage of trump, there's some folks that say if we dicuss it, it's a "threat" to scare them. No, trump is very real. Very real, doing very real damage actively right now. And talking about that actual immediate harm is NOT an empty threat to you, but telling you to notice.

😕

What the USA thinks it's #1 in (and its actual rankings): Life Expectancy: 46th FreePress: 42nd Healthcare: 30th Education: 26th Happiness: 23rd Freedom: 17th What the USA is #1 in: Military Spending Number of Billionaires Incarceration Bankruptcy filings Medical debt Gun deaths

1/ Over the next few days, you’ll hear a lot about rising healthcare premiums. As one of only six Democratic physicians in Congress, I’m here to break down what’s happening—and why it matters for you.

Protests matter. Boycotts matter. Every small step we take matters.

*AND* stop listening to 5 podcasts per day and try having a real conversation with real people instead.

SEN. @ossoff.bsky.social : “Money in politics is the root of all of this… the vast sums of corporate & billionaire money in our political system - with or without Trump - are why ordinary people are so ill-served by elected officials and congress.”

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

More people should be talking about this.
