42,000 jobs gained is incredibly weak. It is an acceleration when compared to the horrors of the prior months.

A previous report found private hiring accelerated after a historic decline.

You can google this and prove it is a lie yourself. Google Walmart Thanksgiving meal 2024, then google for 2025. The 2024 meal had premium items and more of them. The 2025 meal is barebones and all generic. This is a lie.

There will be so many things to say about the legendary Nancy Pelosi's transformational tenure in Congress—but for now, let's start with "Thank you, Madam Speaker."

-CO approved a ballot measure to fund universal school meals

America's Sleeping Giant has awakened.

MTG: "I'm trying to lead by example to talk to everyone in kindness. We don't all have to agree but that's being an American. And thank goodness for that. Our freedom of speech, our 1A rights, allows us to do that. My personal belief is that I need to set an example by speaking nicely to everyone."

Nancy Pelosi is part of a party that believes in work horses and policy wonks. When a party votes for people because they are Aids is a gift from god Jesus freaks they can't get the job done as they aren't qualified.

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

No - It is that we have lost many many elections when we didn't run centrists. We have lost many elections from spoilers who remove small percentages of the vote, but keep running even when polls said they couldn't win. Who was your last "far left" president? How many governors are far left?

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 2d

Ah. So it's not just that particular Dems have to run as moderates, it's that *no Dem anywhere can do anything overtly progressive*, lest it affect the party's reputation and make it more difficult for those moderates to win.

Little bit clearer what the larger project is, eh?

There’s more to politics than what you “run on”

Voters rightly consider everything you and your party say and do.

The hard part for Dems has always been they care about those affected by doing nothing. Repukes don't care about governing or normal people.

I think they should keep the government shutdown until Repukes give in, but some if not many will die from that path.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

It wasn't leadership, it was 7 million people who stayed home in 2024. Same people who let Trump pick 3 SCOTUS judges, because Hillary said something they were offended by back in the 90s. Same dipshits who handed George W Bush the presidency in 2000 voting for someone who couldn't win

Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 1d

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

JR1a1 @jr1a1.bsky.social · 1d

Then why didn't he rig yesterday? More simplistic answer is 7 million of our own side pretended Joe Biden wasn't allowed to see October 7th as a giant terrorist attack and just stayed home on their couches like bitches on election night as Hitler took power.
