Breaking: The US added 532,000 jobs in October.

That’s more jobs than the economy added in 4 years of the former guy.

Thank you President Biden.

BREAKING: CBC members exiting Pelosi's office say there WILL be two votes today - on infrastructure and the *rule* on BBB.

That indicates a big win for moderates (who wanted infrastructure before BBB).

The CBO warned of a $1.9 trillion INCREASE in the deficit over 10 years from the 2017 Trump tax plan. Every Republican voted for it.

The #BBB REDUCES the deficit, creates jobs, grows GDP, invests in children, families and the environment, and is paid for. I will vote for it.

Keith Gåddie Kevin M. Kruse J.D. Vance Can I make a suggestion, Kieth? Rather than needling him with a little zinger, why not tell the world what he really is? It's long past time for clever comments, the hard truth needs to be told again and again.

One mercy is that Trump's complete insanity and inability to play nicely with others is that his dumb orange ass is just not a part of any gathering where our ex-presidents are expected to be there.

“We’re the anomaly, and we brag about it — and I think it’s worked for us,” Berger said. “It will not work for us going forward, I don’t think.”

Gen. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, said that he sees no alternative but to pivot away from a system that through multiple wars has prioritized massing a “young, physically tough, replaceable force” that was “not all that highly skilled.”

I've been taking notes. Here's my series on how to fight all these extremely common disinformation tactics for a brighter and more democratic future: truthorfiction.com/how-to-fight-d…

So the tactics you can identify here are: Firehosing, Gaslighting, and Distraction. There's a fourth disinfo tactic that's starting in again today, which is Disheartenment ('it's too late to do anything.') Don't listen to those assholes, either.

Step 1: Flood social media with astroturfed bullshit
Step 2: Tap a few dozen useful idiots to show up at events and harass Dems
Step 3: Harass journos who accurately report facts by accusing them of political bias and worse
Step 4: Wildly accuse everyone else of what you're doing

Which is setting the stage for the far right to steal all future elections and accuse Democrats of any number of weaponized and outlandish things to befuddle reporters and cover their tracks. It's obvious by now, no?

Of course this could be: Murphy becomes first Dem to win reelection as NJ gov in 44 yrs-alongside progressive win in Boston, Biden supporter mayoral win in NY, wave of elections of Dem candidates of color in cities across the US. But, you know...Virginia is where DC press lives.

White women absolutely weaponizing coddling and a refusal of white women to actually oppose them

HE DID IT!!! Phil Murphy, a gun sense champion, has won a second term as New Jersey’s governor. Murphy, who has passed several lifesaving gun laws and executive orders, is the first Democrat in nearly five decades to win a second term. #njleg

@waltshaub Aaron Rupar Also remember that Sally Yates was onto him. She should be our AG

Boston City Councilor Michelle Wu became the first woman and person of color to be elected mayor of Boston, after her opponent, fellow Councilor Annissa Essaibi George, conceded defeat reut.rs/31nhO1n

A lot of liberal reporters in the liberal media really need to think long and hard about how our industry constantly - & irresponsibly - avoids the R word through all sorts of polite, GOP-enabling euphemisms: ‘racial appeals’, ‘racially-coded’, ‘grievance politics’, & the rest.
