Asheville voters will find this hysterical since their biggest concern, when Jamie won the primary, was that he wasn't really connected to our eclectic community (which he has worked hard to overcome, I might add).

As a September survey by the firm Ernst and Young found, some 36 percent of senior AI executives at firms with over $1 billion in annual revenue have already experienced a catastrophic “AI incident” which ended up causing financial damage, operational disruptions, data loss, or brand damage.

Wow. Color me not surprised. And there are lots of small, local businesses on FB. It sort of became the yellow pages over the years with no more phonebooks and no local papers. I hate these F****ing tech bros. gizmodo.com/meta-to-lite...

Really doesn't matter why. It's evidence that Starlink can not be relied on for critical work. No responsible government or organization can trust Starlink going forward. It's the only portion of Elon's empire that actually makes money. Sucks to suck.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

Thune isn’t any better. Not ONE elected republican at ANY level, federal, state or local has said Boo about clearly impeachable, if not illegal acts. NOT ONE… they are responsible for ALL of this chaos & corruption. VOTE them OUT in every election until this corrupt party collapses. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Remember, Sherrod has always been a friend of the working man, even though you threw him under the bus, and FFS don't vote for Ramaswammy!

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on jobs report: “Trump’s economy has only added 33,000 jobs a month on average, far below the 120,000-a-month average in 2024. At the same time, paychecks are growing at their slowest rate in nearly 7 years”

🚨 The last jobs report before the midterms is a disaster. Just 29,000 jobs added in September. Unemployment rose to 4.2%. July was revised down to a LOSS of 10,000 jobs, while August was revised down by 29,000 jobs, from 162,000 to 133,000. 1/

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

If I had a friend or family member in military service I would encourage them strongly to get out. But these jokers are going to cause the death of many more than those in our military.

Trump says a war is not a war, therefore the War Powers Act doesn’t apply. Trump says political ads are not ads they are “public service announcements,” therefore the laws banning the use of taxpayer $ don’t apply. The gangster govt changes the meaning of words to avoid the law

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.
