Recession-level layoffs. More than a million jobs lost this year. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Yep. Politicians who mindlessly promote data centers are buying into a political liability. Data centers are even worse than the old 'subsidize my factory' scam, creating fewer jobs and draining local water & energy supplies, problems that will get increasingly worse under Trump's bad policies.

"He promised things that Europeans take for granted, but Americans are told are impossible... Here, taking care of one another through public programs isn’t radical socialism. It’s Tuesday."

Plastic flowers and foliage picked up from Cornish beaches.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar... #WildlifeWednesday 🐦🐕

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

Lindsey Boylan was the first whistleblower to come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. Her accusations & those of 12 others were corroborated by the NY AG (and later by DOJ.) Cuomo resigned. Now he has lost again, and this picture is as unabashed a joy as you'll see.

State Rep. Chris Rabb (D., Philly) has reintroduced a bill to allow for ranked choice voting in Pennsylvania. It has the support of five other Democrats. www.palegis.us/legislation/...

The FAA will reduce flight capacity at 40 major airports across the U.S. starting Friday, officials say

it was very nice to see pablo torre speak about the "trans athlete question" in the plainest possible terms: it's a moral panic about 0.02% of college athletes to get you mad about that instead of everything else going wrong in your life.

None of this is going to happen and the halal carts in nyc are already there and amazing, but this is the id of MAGA politics, "we can won so we can force everyone to do what we want" projected onto people who don't think that and wouldn't try. bsky.app/profile/stac...

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.org don’t fumble this while you’re on the goal line. Last night proves you have the people on your side so long as you keep fighting. Republicans will fold—they’re losing and they know it. People blame them for this mess. Keep holding out.

Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.

Pennsylvania, you understood the assignment. Be proud today.

Appreciate him articulating this explicitly although people will continue to rationalize bsky.app/profile/atru...

Congratulations to @ericadeuso.bsky.social on being elected as the first openly transgender mayor in PA!!! #LoveWins

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Bucks County’s ICE-Loving, MAGA Sheriff Fred Harran Got What He Deserved: A Pink Slip From Voters | Sheriff-elect Danny Ceisler, a 33-year-old Democrat from Bristol Borough, was in many ways the crest of the Blue Wave that washed away local GOP office holders, writes Editor @cmychalejko.bsky.social.

After Bucks County Democrats sweep row office elections, Gannett's local daily leads w/ "Historic Haycock tavern under new ownership, closing Raven's Nest." Never mind Dems also trounced Republicans in so many school board & municipal races, in an off-year election w/ historic voter turnout 49.6%.

BIG Upset in Pittsburgh tonite as Labor Party candidate wins County Council seat to represent 1.2 million voters paydayreport.com/labor-party-...

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

Tonight should be a good reminder to Senate Democrats they better not cave.

Huge congrats to Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard on being elected as Georgia’s next Public Service Commissioners. As Trump raises utility costs, this is a huge deal. They are the FIRST non-federal statewide Democrats to win in Georgia in nearly 20 years.

Virginia/ New Jersey understood the assignment

BREAKING: Pennsylvania voters approve to retain three state Supreme Court justices, NBC News projects, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

Watching Abigail’s daughters cry as they stand next to their mom who just made history being elected the first woman governor of Virginia is a helluva moment.

Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes. I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.

this mf is on Fox damn near every day now

This is worse than the worst thing ever attributed to any “Bernie Bro”. The Democratic leader literally refusing to say WHETHER HE VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT.

All: MAGA is leveraging the ❌👑 logo & messaging to Push misinformation in the form of “No Kings, No Retention”. Indivisible has issued a formal cease & desist. If you see Any photos of these signs, please directly message us a photo of the sign anwhere/when you saw it. #IndivisiblePA

Please note this is also in addition to ongoing kidnappings across the suburbs, with sightings reported in more of them than we can even list at the moment. This is daily life now, and there's no one central place reporting them all.

This is the way the normalization works. Scenes the media would've/could've chased a month ago go ignored in favor of what's new/shocking. It's not that people aren't reporting on what's happening, because they are. But the bar for what's "newsworthy" always shifts.

I tell everyone about Grounds for Sculpture because the magic that exists there is so rare in this world that you are powerfully overwhelmed to share it. That's why I'm telling you about it today, and why I brought my first-timer coworkers with me to explore it 1/2 www.inquirer.com/columnists/g...

Let’s never forget that 4500 US troops and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians died because Dick Cheney and his crew successfully deployed lies to grease the way to the Iraq invasion. He exploited post-9/11 fear and conned the public to launch a disastrous war. That’s his legacy.

On Halloween, we saw two Americas existing under Trump's rule. In Florida, Trump's gaudy Gatsby-esque party. Here in Chicago, neighbors literally on guard to protect kids out trick or treating from out of control feds. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
