A bar graph showing the monthly average non-farm jobs created during each president’s term starting with H.W.

Biden: +336K jobs per month. Clinton: +242K. Trump 2: +16K — less than the MONTHLY average of every Democratic president since 1989.

The “greatest economy ever” is dead last.
The data doesn’t lie.

Yes, we played backgammon and listened to music albums for at least the next couple of hours. 😄

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

A friend and I shared a bowl of Chocolate Thai at his place, a couple of weeks ago. He said to me beforehand, "I hope you don't have anywhere you need to be."

I didn't realize what he meant in the moment. Twenty minutes later I was not capable of finding my car, let alone driving it! 😎🤪

That's a fine afternoon's work, Jean. Congrats!

I guess that answers the eternal question, "How many potent cookies can I get out of an oz.?" Useful knowledge. 😎👏

The horrific reports that the U.S. was behind the strike on the girls school explains Hegseth’s comments about abandoning traditional U.S. Military and international law rules of engagement yesterday afternoon. Can’t stress this more. Hegseth and Trump are now responsible for war crimes. Full stop.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

"We aren't following any stupid rules of engagement." Hegseth orders a submarine to sink an unarmed Iranian naval vessel in the Indian Ocean to participate in India's peace exercises. A war crime? Well, the US tried, convicted and imprisoned German naval officers for doing roughly the same thing.

No, unlike immigrant families seeking political asylum in the U.S., the MAGAts who rioted at the U.S. Capitol are not a danger to anyone!

Wanna bet? 😠

MAGA is the most toxic, hollow, phony, grifty, obnoxious, fraudulent, culty, soulless political movement in US history built on lies, hate, paranoia and greed. And as it unravels, so many rats will claim they were never really on the ship.

When one considers how free-spending, professionally incompetent, and self-sabotaging Noem is, I would think that finding someone even more unfit to serve in her place must have been a difficult chore! 🤨

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.
