If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

“Everything is a conspiracy theory if you don’t know how anything works,” says @garrisonhayes.bsky.social in his video on the conspiracy theories swirling in the aftermath of the deadly Texas floods.
The irony? There’s no need for a conspiracy theory when the truth is simple: Texas floods often.

If the US federal government tries to deport the presumptive next Mayor of New York, it really doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. The country isn't a democracy anymore.

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Absolutely unreal plot twist by the writers today — the new pope is a JD Vance critic, setting the stage for a redemption narrative after the previous pope died just hours following his meeting with Vance.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.
The Last Hospitals in Gaza
In the ruins of a health-care system, many medical facilities have become graveyards. Doctors continue to deliver lifesaving care—but they risk their own lives in the process.

Let’s re-up this argument: Seeking asylum is not illegal. You are allowed to enter the U.S. anywhere with or without documentation, and at a port of entry or not, and request asylum.
Furthermore, asylum-seekers MUST be within our physical land borders to do so. Embassies and consulates don’t count.
