CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Which is way less than what @shedeursanders.bsky.social did at Colorado in terms of performance and way more in terms of bad behavior, but I bet the "owners" of the NFL will have no trouble forgiving this youthful indiscretion and taking him in Round 1.

In New York, nearly two in three voters across the state favor Zohran Mamdani's promise to provide universal government-funded child care and would support the mayor-elect's plan to pay for it by increasing taxes on those earning more than $1 million a year, a new poll found.

For President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, cruelty is part of the strategy.

That’s why we remain vigilant: if the Trump-Vance admin deploys unlawful and inhumane immigration tactics in houses of worship during important holiday celebrations, we’ll be ready to meet them in court.

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.

These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").

Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.

This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Rich guys always think the "economy" is the stock market and their non-existent tax bills. @democrats.org need a bunch of "Let them eat cake" ads featuring #Trump right now, while people are feeling the high costs of the holiday season.

There's a lot of amazing disassociated ranting in there, but my favorite is on page 5, where he says "... if there were a Nobel Prize in fiction..."

Um, there is, actually.

Trump is using the military national guard ICE against all of us citizens snd non citizens. I don’t want to live where we are snatched off the street by masked persons in unmarked cars or subject to stop and searches & detained for no reason. Vote republicans out!

And national Dems are going out of their way to caveat their support and bring attention to the most controversial thing the guy said while leaving out the larger context that made said thing not nearly as bad as it sounds. Ace team of politicians

Trump and Musk cut $1 billion in funds that schools + food banks use to buy food from local producers.

These cuts hurt Arkansas farmers, our kids, and the poorest among us.

Why isn't Sarah using her close personal relationship with the president to protect Arkansas farmers, children, and families?

They deleted ALL the CDC datasets. I have a 160GB archive bittorrenting on my laptop right now compliments of the Datahoarder subreddit who managed to get copies of most of them. We're at the "citizens circulating censored facts using arcane internet protocols" stage of dystopia and it's only Wk6.

I want people to understand this.

For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.

This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.
