🚨 The last jobs report before the midterms is a disaster. Just 29,000 jobs added in September. Unemployment rose to 4.2%. July was revised down to a LOSS of 10,000 jobs, while August was revised down by 29,000 jobs, from 162,000 to 133,000. 1/

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

🤯 NEW: Gov. Bill Lee’s death row team has botched a second death row execution in less than five months! This is unprecedented. This is the state’s first attempted execution of a woman in at least 200 years.

It is being reported that one of the Cornell 7 gang rapists named Diego Sarabia has just been fired from his Charlotte North Carolina Wells Fargo branch that he had been working at since 2022. Good, but he and the other 6 belong in prison for the rest of their lives.

A blue wave in the midterm elections won’t fix everything. Frankly, none of the immediate problems Americans face will be better immediately, because that isn’t how government works. And that’s all the more reason we need to push as many republicans out as possible now. (Thread)

Friends - there is a cohort of Georgia Jews who have voted Dem in the past and who now refuse to vote for Ossoff for U.S. Senate. They say they won’t vote for Collins or Ossoff. They are upset with Jewish Ossoff for his stance on Israel (which is aligned with a majority of American Jews). /1

POWERFUL MOMENT Americans forming a human chain around the Kennedy Center to protect a national memorial from a president threatening to tear it down. JFK’s niece, Kerry Kennedy, called on people to show up, and they did. This will never be the Trump Center, in the people’s eyes.

A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

SNAP kids are just as deserving of a birthday cake, a soda, & a little childhood joy as any other kid. Kids shouldn’t have to understand their family’s financial situation before being allowed to be excited about cake. Somehow we’ve reached where that apparently requires a congressional hearing.

Gas went up under Biden because Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Then they gradually went down in 2023/2024. Gas then went back up because Trump started a war of choice with Iran that he’s losing after being persuaded by Netanyahu and Hegseth. Blaming Biden right now is absurd.
