Very good for me personally that some of the same people who spent the last decade getting everything about my personal life wrong publicly on Twitter and then getting mad about their fantasy version of me are now collecting intelligence on people and using that likely bad info to jail or kill them.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January.

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.

Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Alabama Republicans can now implement a 6-1 congressional gerrymander targeting 1 of 2 Black Democrats—a map that a court blocked in 2023 for violating the VRA. The map divides Black voters to turn District 2 majority-white & solidly GOP. Interactive map+data davesredistricting.org/join/2aec6b7...

Image of Alabama Republicans' proposed 6-1 congressional gerrymander that would eliminate one of the two Black Democrats to elect another Republican in a majority-white district. A chart on the left shows the 2024 presidential election results and racial demographics in each district.

The map on the center-left shows the presidential margin by district, with Donald Trump easily carrying six seats in red and Kamala Harris winning just one solidly blue seat.

The map on the right overlays the district lines on a map of the Black adult population by precinct. The new lines pack Black voters in Birmingham and the western half of the Black Belt into the 7th District while cracking voters in Montgomery and the eastern half of the Black Belt by putting them in a redrawn 2nd District that is majority-white.

Right, it's important to remember that this is unfortunately a fairly common experience for most presidents, but normally presidents don't spend all their time crying about it in public.
