The government shutdown leaves Americans in the dark about the latest job numbers

Without new employment data, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer tried to point to recent “momentum” in the job market. Reality told a different story.

Not too long ago, it would’ve been pretty dramatic for an incumbent American president to refer to his opponents as “the party of Hate, Evil, and Satan.”

But as people grow accustomed to madness, it’s now barely a one-day story.

Someone used AI to create a fake Fox News segment featuring Trump touting magical “MedBed” technology. He then used to his platform to amplify the nonsensical pseudoscience.

Maybe now’s a good time to renew the whole “cognitive decline” conversation? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
