When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

CNBC talking about Hurricane Isaias and showing a graphic with Gulf of America. Ugh!

With our money. Playing in our faces. 🤷🏼 ✈️

If you want to understand the current debate about ASI extinction risk, please please read this. I explain how you've almost certainly been misled into thinking this is about saving humanity--it's NOT. The term "human extinction" doesn't mean what you think it does!

The last speaker at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony lost his father to the attacks.

WATCH — @chefjoseandres : “The IDF knows there was no excuse. Enough with the odious smears, excuses, shifting blame… we want an independent investigation.” The Israeli commander who ordered the bombing of 7 @wckitchen workers says he is “not sorry”

While 764,000 people lost money on the Trump meme coin, only 58 wallets got rich. Supporters need to see the corruption in how Trump robs his own while Republicans cheer it on. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

Fun fact: Tesla's market cap is almost 60 times its cumulative earnings net of carbon tax credits. x.com/i/grok?conve... That's not one year's earnings, that's total earnings since before it was even a gleam in Elon's eyes.

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.

...the progressive agenda--health care for all, secure retirements, a clean environment, common sense gun reform, fairer taxation, free pre-K and affordable college, regulations that protect the health and safety of Americans--is supported by a super-majority of all of us, 60-70-80 percent.)

You don't say.

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

Team WCK's story begins with Chef José Andrés in Haiti in 2010. In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, he traveled to Port-au-Prince and realized that a hot meal could remind people that they hadn't been forgotten. #FoodIsLife #ChefsForTheWorld (1/4)

Yeah, there we go. I'm a little obsessed with tracking ignored warnings from scientists as they are vindicated.

“Everything Google is telling you is B.S.” #NoNewDataCenters

I'm old enough to remember January 9, 2026. You'll never guess what happened next. (Nothing. Nothing happened next.)

Imagine that

2, 2, 2 hours to goooo. I wanna be sedated. youtu.be/bm51ihfi1p4?...

NPR: “The Trump administration ignored warnings from policy experts when they changed a major policy at the Department of Veterans Affairs — and the result is a wave of foreclosures against veterans.”https://www.rawstory.com/trump-veterans-2676654225/

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Wow.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

David Rothkopf, plain speaking and a plan:

In case you were wondering what Alex Acosta of Epstein infamy is up to now, he’s landed gigs at the State Leadership Initiative (alongside Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts) and at Newsmax. 1/

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Per @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social this Hmong man Trump’s goons humiliated & dragged out in the cold (after trashing his apartment and putting a gun to his daughter-in-law’s head) was a naturalized 🇺🇸 CITIZEN with no criminal record. He was eventually released. More: www.instagram.com/p/DTrblZ2jmT...

Trump’s ICE is ramming down doors without warrants in violation of the 4th Amendment. Do Republicans really want to green light this behavior & allow ICE to do the same to their own constituents? Tomorrow, I’ll be in Minneapolis-Saint Paul demanding oversight and accountability.

It's a villainaire free-for-all, plain and simple. newrepublic.com/article/2051...

Watching with fascination as the man across the street snow blows his driveway at 1:00 am. None of the other neighbors have any lights on.

Billionaires wanting to take their toys and leave everyone else behind is pretty much the Network State cult in a nutshell. Problem is: all of their visions require our destruction. That’s why “so what“ doesn't work. This is an existential struggle: a handful of billionaires vs everyone else.

Sarah Cooper is back on Trump and she absolutely nailed it 🔥
