Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"

Trump fired the head of the BLS as a warning to future officials to not report bad news. But he’s also busily rewriting the past. I call him out in three of his lies in my piece today, write-up in the replies.

Fire him into the sun He cannot be the nominee

Incredible irony www.texastribune.org/2022/09/26/t...

This is a great example of why people detest politics and many current politicians. Thank you @atrupar.com

Chuck Schumer is on record saying his primary goal is to keep Democrats supporting the genocidal isreali regime. So if you are wondering why he isn't pressing trump at all... Its because they have the same policy preferences.

So according to Abbott, Texas Democrats are committing a crime because they want the districts that Texas Republicans drew up 4 years ago to stay the same until the end of the decade like every other state. Those evil Dems.

Secretary of Transportation says you should be scared of public transportation. Four million people will ignore him, justifiably, and ride the NY subway tomorrow. 🤡

This is the way. Democrats need to return to our liberal roots and reject the neo-conservative cul-de-sac we have been led into

Down in St. George today.

The average American is fighting hard with precious little help from those in power. Please protect yourself by not posting your face. The trump regime is disappearing citizens now.

What a day y’all. Keep showing up.

Tom Homan asks “where is that line,” as if it is mysterious or unknowable. It’s not. Tom’s saying it that way because he’s too much of a coward just to say “she should be arrested for telling people their rights.” Also, to be fair, he may be too dim to understand the line.

BREAKING Four New York City Deputy Mayors are expected to resign this week in response to Mayor Eric Adams’ decision to cooperate with the Trump administration. The four deputies run much of New York City’s government. Full Story: https://bit.ly/4bbAeSD

Holy shit. Trump officials fired the U.S. nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s entire weapons stockpile. Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. But there’s more:

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Zelenskyy: it’s time to create the forces of Europe, we can no longer rule out that we cannot rely on the US. Finally someone said it.. but also, 3 years into the war this is just becoming more obvious? Wake up, Europe.

Doing great 👍

Not quite "spot on" yet. The MUSK fish needs to be a combination of the following Tech Bros oligarchy shown below. We need to stop them NOW before they destroy democracy and create mini-fiefdoms. NO JOKE. #STOP_Dark_MAGA -reference AND Support #GregPalast -Voter supression findings

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

What do you think, folks?

The Second Industrial Revolution coexisted with a period of incredibly corrupt and stupid politics in the US. We largely lived off of the seed corn of the Civil War and post-Civil War reforms until FDR came around.

This is terrifying, as is the fact that RFK Jr was confirmed to lead HHS.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Don’t Swastikar

Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people in West Texas are infected with measles but untested, and therefore not part of the state’s official tally so far.

Save it from what? Democracy?

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

From the 1936 children’s memoir, “Around the World in 11 years”

What is considered “conservative” these days is pretty elastic, which is exactly the opposite of how conservatism has always been defined. Conservatism in the Trump era is not based on a set of principles, ideas or policies. It is a dead movement replaced by right-wing populism.

They won’t ever learn will they

How kind.

Critical point here about how the right constructs its politics away from what it conceptualizes as "left" There is no independent "right wing" politics. They don't exist

Another feather for my "dem should lie more" cap

Can a billionaire please endow NPR and PBS with enough money so they don’t have to take any federal funding so I don’t have to hear another conservative talk about it ever again.

$6.2 billion and PBS and NPR would never need federal funding again. Put me out of my misery.
