Labor market slowed substantially in Sept.

134,000 added jobs indicating worker shortages and U.S. trade skirmishes are cutting hiring.

Who could have predicted that trade embargoes would be bad for the workers who benefit from free trade?

Look, the problem isn't the unemployment rate.

The problem is that when the Great Recession hit, millions of good paying jobs disappeared.

The economy is bouncing back, but those good paying jobs have been replaced by low paying jobs. #jobsreport
For a concrete example of this, watch this report on just one city: Dayton, Ohio. #JobsReport

*trade embargoes AND ICE raids, people afraid of coming to the US to work for fear of having their children ripped away from them and put into cages, a freeze on H-1B Visas Until 2019, etc. #jobsreport

Are we really doing this, Ben?

(Deep breath.)

Okay, let's go.

Over the past 20 years, only 2-10% of rape accusations are proven to be fake. 1/

The FBI has put the number of "unfounded" rapes - those determined to be false after investigation - at 8%. 2/

Since records began in 1989, in the US there have been only 52 cases where men convicted of sexual assault were exonerated because it turned out they were falsely accused. 3/ law.umich.edu/special/exoner…

Women to Bob Corker re: Kavanaugh: "What am I supposed to tell my daughters and granddaughters"

When he woudn't answer the question, she said, "November is coming."

Bob Corker laughed and said, "yeah, but I'm not on the ballot."

This is what we're up against.

"Judge Kavanaugh is highly qualified, I'm glad Dr. Ford was heard".

Looks like a hostage video with Trump standing just off camera, feeding her lines at gunpoint.

If you haven't laughed yet today, here's a video of President Trump walking up the stairs to Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe. While this isn't grounds for the #25thAmendment, it does fit the pattern of Trump just being a fucking idiot.
@ManInTheHoody can you confirm, CGI or shit related stickiness? and can you put this to music, please?
And I added it here because fuck it.

"It surprised me a lot to hear him say that he never blacked out...yeah, very drunk." - James Roach, one of Kavanaugh's college roommates, who was not interviewed by the FBI. #ThursdayThoughts #NoKavanaugh
Brett Kavanaugh’s former college classmate Chad Ludington “unequivocally” says that Kavanaugh “has not told the truth” in denying the possibility that he blacked out from drinking: “I never saw him passed out but I saw him quite drunk” #Thursdaythoughts
Before I continue: In the first tweet, I spelled Jamie Roche's name incorrectly. It is, in fact, not "Roach". 🤣 Thank you, @chargrille, for the correction. ❤️ I blame not having my third cup of coffee yet.
