CNBC on the September jobs report: "A bit of a disappointment. Expecting 90,000, comes in at 29,000. And we see two month revisions down 60,000 ... average hourly earnings -- this is a big miss. Big, big miss. We were expecting up three tenth. This comes in at one tenth."

Don't let the headline fool you. The radicalism Brian is calling for is actually carefully calibrated. "15 years later my view is that Democrats should conduct themselves a bit like Republicans did in Obama’s first term." Just 'a bit like" shouldn't be too hard to pull off.

A $150,000 illegal donation tied to Navatek, then a reported $32 million federal contract two months later: ProPublica’s reporting raises a serious question for Susan Collins, who denies wrongdoing. Senate seats belong to voters, not donors buying access. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

And this is almost an aside in the story, but also absolutely bonkers. Meta claimed Zuck as a "researcher" to get a $355 million tax break on his $4.1 billion stock-based compensation.
Screenshot from New York Times article: "Meta is already in one sizable dispute with the I.R.S. over this tax break, for using it to subsidize its chief executive’s multibillion-dollar pay package. In 2013, Meta claimed that $4.1 billion of stock options exercised by Mr. Zuckerberg counted as a research expense because he helped invent new software, such as Facebook’s News Feed. The I.R.S. is trying to claw back the company’s resulting $355 million in tax savings, court filings show."
