Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

Donald Trump's top advisor just undermined him by telling the truth on everything from the Epstein Files to the military buildup near Venezuela. I'm breaking down the biggest revelations from Vanity Fair. youtu.be/Q-KlRb1Iy14

How did Jeffrey Epstein amass his wealth and power? A new investigation from @nytimes.com journalist @davidenrich.bsky.social looks at how Epstein's powerful friends became his staunchest defenders.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Today is the LAST chance to sign up for ACA plans for Jan 1 coverage. Republican leaders in Congress refused to extend critical subsidies, leaving millions of Floridians with skyrocketing premiums and unaffordable health insurance.

"Advocates say the lack of [ACA] credits will force Floridians to choose between paying unaffordable premiums, selecting plans with reduced coverage, or going without insurance." https://www.wmnf.org/as-obamacare-deadline-arrives-advocates-worry-about-soaring-healthcare-costs/

Trump supposedly has no idea what he got an MRI for. The American people deserve to know. Let’s demand some damn answers:

I’m praying for all of the victims, their families, and the entire Brown University community as it grieves this horrific act of gun violence. How many more tragedies, more lives lost, more grieving families, before we act? We can and we must end our gun violence epidemic.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Wishing all who celebrate a joyful Hanukkah. May the Festival of Lights bring hope, love, and strength. As the first candle is lit tonight, let’s commit to building a Florida where everyone feels safe, valued, and at home. Chag Sameach!

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City is treating his last weeks in office as something of a farewell tour, visiting foreign countries, defending his legacy and expressing his grievances. “My lack of success didn’t start because of the indictment,” he said. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/n...

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but early intelligence reportedly suggests the Islamic State was responsible.

President Donald Trump and his MAGA enablers are on a campaign to erase history, tearing down monuments to hard-won progress and whitewashing the past to conform to their white Christian nationalist agenda.

Donald and Melania Trump have made millions from memecoin hype. We went looking for the people who helped them do it

The United States is the only developed country in the world where mass shootings continue to be a constant problem. Republicans need to finally stand up to the gun lobby and join Democrats to pass real gun safety reforms that can save countless lives.

The housing crisis comes down to this: Not enough homes and the ones we have are too expensive. My Housing BOOM Act would expand federal tax credits to help kickstart the next housing boom in America, and help Californians get housing they can afford.

“I can’t think of a remotely close parallel to a situation where the president of the United States basically demanded publicly that his Justice Department prosecute people who he dislikes for political reasons.” It’s a situation virtually unprecedented in U.S. history.

RFK Jr. wants you to know he’s personally responsible for anti-vax misinformation on the CDC website

The Trump family is chasing another real estate deal in Saudi Arabia. And the Saudis want a mutual defense agreement and access to U.S. nuclear technology. Looks like Trump and the royal family will both win, with our national security for sale. The only losers? The American people.

The Trump Administration will go to any length — including appeal to the highest court in the land — if it means they can cut off food for hungry people. What is wrong with them?

BREAKING: Federal Judge Immergut in Portland rules Trump admin CANNOT deploy National Guard to Oregon. Grants state & city a PERMANENT injunction, barring troops indefinitely.

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

Democrats captured two governorships, won every statewide race in Virginia, gained 13 seats in the Virginia House and more. While the party saw big wins this week, it’s critical to prepare for Trump’s sure attempts to subvert the 2026 midterms. https://bit.ly/4oSjXYj

Trump yesterday: They have this new word called "affordability" and [Republicans] don't talk about it enough. Democrats did. Trump today: I don't want to hear about the affordability.

This is insane. Trump is jumping through hoops to block SNAP. Follow the law, fund SNAP, and feed American families.

I don’t think enough people are talking about the beauty of NYC electing its first Muslim mayor the day Dick Cheney died. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

JUST IN: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces she will not run for reelection for Congress

CRUELTY IS THE POINT. FOLLOW THE DAMN LAW & FULLY FUND SNAP. “While Trump admin acknowledged it had funds in secondary account to provide full SNAP payments, it declined to do so…Ag Dept appeared to suggest some families could lose SNAP entirely.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

Trump has the ability to fully fund SNAP benefits within 24 hours. Instead, he is choosing to let 42 million Americans—including 16 million children—go hungry.

Trump has just sent shockwaves through the oil world by sanctioning Russia's two largest producers. What does it mean for markets and the global economy? Tune in to our Live Q&A today 🔜 bloom.bg/4qoKcHy

Here’s my message to Speaker Mike Johnson on the 15th day of this shutdown, from his very own podium.

Clay County, Orange Park,FL Tickets are going fast

Clay County Dems Annual Gala, be a sponsor, tickets to going fast

WIN: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that election officials in Washington County violated the due process of voters when they rejected mail-in ballots for minor errors. Voters must be notified if their ballot has an error and they must have the chance to cast provisional ballots.

Congress has just four days before the government shuts down, and Republicans are refusing to do their jobs. As Trump threatens federal workers and Republicans push chaos, the truth is, they have the majority. It's time for them to work to protect jobs and keep the gov’t funded.

Georgia’s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs — while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care. Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

BREAKING: Sinclair’s ABC affiliates will resume airing ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ starting Friday

I’m not so sure that Tylenol causes autism since my grandpa, who was a scientist and born before Tylenol, created a shed complete with every barbed wire ever manufactured and had each labeled with the date of production and its use…every generation in my family since has a boy with Aspergers.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

Republicans control Congress and the White House. It is on them to govern, and if they want Democratic votes, they need to come to the table. If not, Trump and Republicans the pain that the American people will feel from a government shutdown is on them.

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

President Donald Trump said “many more” settlements with elite universities over civil rights claims were coming soon and warned that schools would face further scrutiny if they did not adhere to existing agreements.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. If the government shuts down, it’s because they chose to shut it down. They’d rather take away health care and give tax breaks to billionaires than pass a budget that helps working families.

“The Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority has granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to lift an order that temporarily restrained the government’s “roving patrols” in Los Angeles.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...
