An advance look at the cover for next week’s issue: “War-a-Lago,” by Barry Blitt. #NewYorkerCovers
So immigrants were “taking our jobs”…
but now fewer immigrants means fewer jobs?
The math on their propaganda never works.
a graph of year-on-year change in US Blue Collar Employment
The US continues losing blue-collar jobs—year-on-year job losses have hit 238k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace, while growth in construction remains low
The print press should always quote him exactly and TV should quote him exactly too, the way they do here:
Hegseth: "The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objections with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more."
US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question
Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

Let’s hope it’s last rites.
"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.
DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign, which has secretly benefited a firm with ties to Kristi Noem.

The University of Louisville deserves credit for being the first Power Four athletic program to propose a cap on athletics spending. It's also strategic as they fall farther behind the SEC and Big Ten in terms of resources.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK-02) 1-8-18 (Member of Energy/Commmerce Sub-Health Committee) Q: Where does Rep. stand on CHIP? A: Wants CHIP Reauthorized. Q: Would Rep. sign clean CHIP bill? A:Supports CHIP bill w/off-sets. Supported every repeal of healthcare. Doesn't believe an ACA fix such as Collins proposal would be approved in the House. Feels focus should be on DACA and infrastructure. Was a no on Medicare extension deal.
My meeting with Congressman Markwayne Mullin on 1-8-18. I ALWAYS take notes. SHARE EVERYWHERE! A Mullin appointment will be devastating to us ALL!
He wasted no time...
BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just came out swinging in the House E&C hearing against dangerous & misguided "age verification" legislation (aka online ID checks) that would force everyone to upload government ID or get a face scan before accessing content or posting online.
Video incoming. This is big
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.
Swapping Noem for Mullin is like swapping syphilis for genital herpes.
If your record is clean you can buy a gun in Texas in like 20 minutes. (Bought in 2017), Austin West 6th shooting.
James Talarico speaks for the first time since clinching the Democratic nomination for his Senate race in Texas. “One thing is clear today: we’re about to take back Texas,” says Talarico.
Will Texas turn blue in November? Well [takes a long drag off of a joint] what does “blue” even *mean*, man?

Now we are all forced to use “woke” bulbs that use far less electricity and never burn out
I have seen it. And agree that either would be great. In certain ways, I think Crockett might have a lot more power in the near future in the house. But most of all, it’s a relief to have two excellent Dems to choose from here in TX.
I spoke to @kattenbarge.bsky.social for this story. For about a year or so, I’ve been hearing a lot more stories about victims of sexual violence being expelled or suspended after interacting with Title IX.
I’m glad that one of their stories is making it into the light.
Here's the perfect example of the actual MAGA priorities that we discuss here:
Flu has overtaken covid in emergency rooms during the past two winters
Hospital numbers don’t capture how most people actually experience these illnesses: minor inconveniences or nasty bugs that leave you feeling lousy and homebound. Wastewater tracking, which measures viral particles in sewers to track viral trends, also shows that flu has surged and covid has seen a small uptick, smaller than the summer wave.
We barely had a winter wave of COVID this year but the flu has been absolutely brutal

Venn Diagram of people on here who think Talarico is the next Fetterman and people who actually vote in Texas is two completely separate circles.
