Before Trump was elected, inflation was projected to drop to 2.2% by the end of 2025. In September, it rose to 3%.

Turns out, the Biden economy was pretty damn good.
In 2025, payroll growth has slowed to less than half the pace of 2024. Hiring particularly fell off a cliff after ‘liberation day’.

Paul Wende from @63_local on the anti-ICE protests in Broadview, IL:
"We've been a part of this community here in Broadview since 1975. Working men and women of Ironworkers Local 63 have always been on the side of workers. We swore an oath to defend everyone, everyone in this country ... Next, they want to strip the federal workers, the federal unions ... Take a good look. If you think it ain't affecting you now, it will be ... And if you have any decency inside you, you know this is wrong and you want to stand up for what's right. And the ironworkers always stand for the workers and the fighters because ironworkers are fighters. Don't ever get that messed up."

You have the right to vote free from intimidation or coercion. Voter intimidation is a state and federal crime.
The @866OURVOTE hotline has volunteers around Florida. If you witness intimidation or threats at the polls, report it by calling 866-OUR-VOTE.
Jacksonville tv stations report that an 18-year-old was arrested yesterday after he waved a machete at Harris supporters near an early-voting site. news4jax.com/news/politics/2…

NEW: Evidence has been uncovered that Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of taxpayers. While Trump was president, he stole $1.7 billion dollars in revenue and directed the funds to flow through his businesses. Further, Trump did everything possible to ensure the majority of the stolen money came from American taxpayers.
Additionally, “Stop the Steal” profiteering raked in more than $500,000,000 for Trump, less than $9,000,000 of which has been spent on lawyers. Trump is spending the remainder of the funds on himself.
An agonizing example of the thieving fundraising practices of “Stop the Steal” — The Trump campaign stole a man’s last $3000 as he lay dying in hospice.

I want to emphasize this: Florida was more prepared for hurricanes fifteen years ago with much better regulation and land use ordinances than today. Developers have left us much more vulnerable by building in places they shouldn't have, aided and abetted by Republican governors.

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.
In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action.
Now we’re all paying the price.

This feels like the sort of comment you'd expect to hear from an unfeeling android who snaps at students for wearing masks during a viral outbreak, scolds a little kid for eating an icee, and houses pudding with his fingers.
Fla @GovRonDeSantis said he will not extend today's voter registration deadline in light of Hurricane Milton's impending landfall Wednesday. "There is nothing inhibiting people from registering today," DeSantis said.

Pinellas County just ordered evacuations for zones A, B and C. That is about 500k people — more than half the county population of ~900k. That's on top of mandatory evacs in surrounding counties.
County leaders are all but begging people to get out NOW. axios.com/local/tampa-bay/20…

According to the spokesman for the Governor of the 3rd largest, most hurricane vulnerable state in America, the well known relationship between water temperatures & hurricane frequency/intensity is a communist plot

It's too bad they don't make steel-spine journalists like Barbara Walters who could look trump in the face and tell him how full of shit he is.
This is CLASSIC. 👏👏
