📌BREAKING: The GOP is canceling ad buys in the North Carolina Senate race, because they no longer see a path for their candidate in the state. It's not because elections are rigged, it's because they know they and their historically unpopular president are about to get their asses kicked in Nov.

Big news in the Senate battle. After pouring $30 million in NC, John Thune's GOP SuperPAC stops spending there, effectively conceding Cooper is likely to win. And they're dumping their first 7-figures in Kansas. (Note: a Dem internal found Hamilton up today.) www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

This week, the Trump admin and Alaska officials announced a ~$50 billion investment by the South Korean government into an Alaska liquefied-natural-gas pipeline. The rub: South Koreans didn’t agree to a specific dollar figure—or even to invest at all. 👀
