President Trump's claims about jobs and wages simply aren't true.
Unemployment keeps increasing and paychecks aren’t keeping up with the cost of living.

The Trump admin has created an economy where billionaires and giant corporations can cash in while workers have to fight to make ends meet. https://wapo.st/48Gt1KN
Unemployment rate rises, signaling weakness in the economy
The labor market cooldown continued this fall, according to new jobs numbers released on a delayed scheduled by the Labor Department.

Borrowed from Reddit:

The total degradation of American political life is complete. Every part of the system has been irrevocably smeared with Trump's shit and the stench will last for a generation.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

It's A&M's year (so far) but the Mean Green are the best story in Texas. I guess this is either my year in review or a premature College Football Playoff preview. www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta...

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

Schrödinger’s Housing is both too expensive, but also cheap enough for illegal immigrants to afford.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
The voices of SNAP
Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.
