If you think that you should not say bad things about power people, you are not a journalist. You are a corporate public relations agent.

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."

NEWS: Trump launches nationwide effort to bribe voters before November. He is sending $500 checks to battleground states with a letter blaming Biden for high costs. Privately, Republicans are telling him off and admitting that the GOP is a "sinking ship." Horrible economic numbers.

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...
