Wow, these job numbers are TERRIBLE. Many people are saying we must have an “incompetent” president who is “asleep at the wheel”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3h agoDUN 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."

🚨 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/

Who does Trump fire this time after the latest terrible jobs report? The person who did the math?
Wage growth just keeps slowing. And yes, wages are rising slower than prices, and no, that's not how economic growth is meant to work.
CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."
"Voters have a regret or two, and we've seen this in poll after poll. The regret has grown since the beginning of Trump's presidency" -- Enten unpacks polling showing that Kamala Harris would easily beat Donald Trump if they were both on the ballot again next month
I'm not sure who saw this coming, but so far nearly all the jobs created during the second Trump administration have gone to women.
STEPHEN MOORE: We had much much higher inflation under Biden BERMAN: Let me stop you. Has inflation gone up or down since Trump took office? MOORE: Well, it was about 3.2% when Biden left office, it's 3.4% now BERMAN: So it's gone up MOORE: That is true

I was getting dressed this morning when I heard Trump’s ad on MS NOW. Initially I thought they were covering it, followed by the usual commentary. Then I realized it was a commercial. Taxpayer-funded Trump propaganda on MSNOW. We’re funding it and MSNOW is profiting from it. #PayToPlayPresident
A federal judge has ruled that Roger Rogoff, the judicially appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle, has been illegally fired by the Trump admin and must be provisionally reinstated by the Justice Department.

Contrary to popular opinion, Bernie’s coalition is narrow. It can make a lot of noise, but it hasn’t been broad enough to turn his agenda into legislation. If you’re going to come at me, which I’m sure people will, be sure you understand the point I’m making first.
I'm concerned he may have misinterpreted some signs saying "F*** DONALD TRUMP”

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit from the Trump Justice Department seeking to compel Georgia to hand over sensitive voter information. It's the latest in a string of legal losses for the Trump admin as it seeks voter data ahead of the midterms.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.
