Layoffs rise to recession-like levels through October, new report says Employers have announced 1.1 million job cuts so far this year, the highest reading since the pandemic, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Layoffs rise to recession-like levels in October.

Best economy in the world. All he had to do was not fuck it up, and he fucked it up.

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.

I mean, if not today, when?

We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

And so the next comment from the press should always be,”You are the speaker! It’s your job to know what is going on. You are not in session. You claim to never see anything. Just what are you doing?”

Trump said China showed 'power of strength' in Tiananmen Square massacre, in newly resurfaced 1990 interview ‘It was a horrible thing. It doesn't mean at all I was endorsing it'

It would be wise for us to remember that Trump praised China for the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Marco Rubio should face charges

ICE agent in Keys pulled over in DUI asks arresting deputy: ‘Are you Haitian?’ — Miami Herald A U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent arrested in DUI traffic stop in Keys asks sheriff’s deputy whether he was Haitian and a U.S. citizen, body camera footage shows.

"As he was being taken to jail on the DUI charge, the intoxicated [ICE] agent not only asked the deputy if he was Haitian, but told another deputy he was going to check the deputy’s immigration status after he was released, the camera footage shows."

Thugs.

Yes. I came here to see if I was the only one.

There he goes again

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Trump is demanding DOJ pay him $230 million for investigating him.

At this point, he’s just seeing how much blatant corruption the GOP will sign off on.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

The sad thing is tens of millions of Americans listen to this bullshit and think to themselves, “yeah Trump tells it like it is.”

Trump's motto (likely), if you can't dazzle em with what you know, dazzle em with bullshit.

Say it louder for your colleagues who were hiding under desks on 1/6/21.

DEAR DEMOCRATS:

IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE THIS IMAGE IN EVERY CAMPAIGN AD YOU'LL BE COMMITTING POLITICAL MALPRACTICE.

While Republican lawmakers spent the days leading up to No Kings fearmongering about the protesters themselves, early reports show that only MAGA troublemakers were responsible for violence as an estimated 7M people peacefully demonstrated. trib.al/MZmc1Yx

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42

"What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"

My Last Day as an Accomplice of the Republican Party Why I’m leaving the GOP and why I’m urging my former colleagues to do the same.

"At every step along the way, I rationalized, compartmentalized, and found excuses to stay tethered to the party, even as I grew to believe it was undermining the foundations of our constitutional republic. ...

Spotify boycott: Artists leave 'garbage hole' platform after CEO invests in AI weapons Daniel Ek's investments in AI dronemaker Helsing have unnerved artists. One called Spotify a "violent armageddon portal."

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

Seems like a reasonable request

🤦‍♀️

No kings

Bethany Beach, DE. Tons of cars and trucks supporting us. And they s is in the red eastern shore!

America doesn’t have a king. But Trump acts like one—ignoring the Constitution, detaining citizens without due process, and attacking the rule of law.

That's what tomorrow's No Kings Day protest is about.

#NoKings day has begun!

... (as with Comey and James), but because the man who almost certainly caused it to be brought—Donald Trump—should himself be in prison (and certainly not the White House) for his very own violations of the Espionage Act (and obstructing the investigation into those crimes).

Much worse was the presidential candidate who said “I love the poorly educated” because he thought he could hornswoggle them. Whatever happened to him— … oh wait

Ah yes. The the moral outrage of these hate filled “Christians“ will be fanned to full flare. Liars and hypocrites. They can’t even condemn the most obvious disgusting hate speech. I’m shocked and not based on what they’ve become.
