Yesterday, I volunteered as an election monitor, and then went to an election results viewing party until 10pm (10pm!!). It's the pro-democracy nerd idea of a good time.

This is why it's important to be that one annoying friend who talks about voting all the time. Happy to be of service to tell people where to vote. 🫡

Esther Kim Varet just accepted a shady donation of 300K from a MAGA aligned PAC that was created this week. She also blocks potential voters who ask her hard questions. Vote for @lisadramirez4us. She is an immigration attorney who has fought ICE and DHS and won.

If you're in CA-40, consider voting for @lisaramirez.com for congress! Lisa is an immigration attorney, who has stood up to ICE and won. We have rhe chance to unseat Ken Calvert and young Kim with this seat. @winnablecademraces.bsky.social @winnabledemraces.bsky.social

I will offer @lisaramirez.com as an alternative. Esther insults and blocks potential voters. Lisa is an immigration attorney, who has stood up to ICE and knows the ins and outs of DHS. She's what our district needs.

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

The official voice of the U.S. government draws from 4chan trolls, explicitly white nationalist phrases and talking points, and radicalizing, dehumanizing, desensitizing language for its targets. I talked to propaganda experts about what it’s doing to us: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The official voice of the US government Is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?
Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine. Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV. Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.

What Trump fails to understand, what he is not capable of understanding, is that a pillar of our economy and government is trust. Weaponing data erodes public trust, leading to less investment and fewer jobs. To those around him who stay silent are severely damaging their country.

Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi says: - We are headed for a recession -The BLS data is totally reliable- for now -The revisions are due to delayed reporting of DOGE govt layoffs -Higher tariffs are dragging down the economy 1/

The economy is on the precipice of recession. That’s the clear takeaway from last week’s economic data dump. Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue.
Unemployment remains low, but that’s only because labor force growth has gone sideways. The foreign-born workforce is shrinking, and labor force participation is declining. Telling is the economy-wide hiring freeze, particularly for recent graduates, and the decline in hours worked.

It’s no mystery why the economy is struggling; blame increasing U.S. tariffs and highly restrictive immigration policy. The tariffs are cutting increasingly deeply into the profits of American companies and the purchasing power of American households. Fewer immigrant workers means a smaller economy.

I would want a real social safety net like Medicare For All and unemployment benefits while job retraining. Tariffs are not a catch-all for keeping manufacturing jobs. Even with tariffs, technology changes an economy. I've been laid off before. It sucks. But hurting consumers won't help anyone.
