Gas prices and the threat to democracy are certainly not of equal and paramount importance. Anyone attempting to make them the same is aiding, enabling those promoting fascism. Damn shame!!! Good lord people get a grip. #SaveDemocracy or else!

“many people are spending more $$ than they bring in each month.”
You bet!
Yes, consumer spending has been robust. You could even call it strong.
But many people are spending more $$ than they bring in each month. The savings rate is falling. Credit card debt is at a record high. Personal bankruptcies are up. Personal loans are way up.
There's clearly strain on a lot of Americans.
Personal income in September: +0.2%
Personal spending in September: +0.5%
Inflation-adjusted spending in Sept: FLAT (0%)
Are you kidding⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
“Not everyone is feeling the benefits of this growth uptick. But anything related to AI is soaring”
JUST IN: The U.S. economy is growing rapidly.
GDP Growth in the 3rd quarter came in at a hot 3.4%. That was even better than expected.
What's driving this?
1) The big AI investment. There was another huge surge in business investment (+12.7%!)
2) Consumer spending also robust. +3.8% in Q3. That's the same as Q2 and the strongest since the end of 2024.
Not everyone is feeling the benefits of this growth uptick. But anything related to AI is soaring.

Good idea! One wonderful consequence of us taking over the House and Senate will be that no more destruction will take place of established buildings and no more unnecessary things like arches will be built.

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

White players on boys soccer team cheer the N-word—after losing to majority Black & Hispanic high school.
"Attention everybody!" shouts the captain.
"Make noise if you hate [N-words] !"
Students on the bus respond with loud & sustained cheering.
Boys in front even fist bump.
Soccer team on the bus plays for East Davidson High School—minority enrollment is only 27%.
Players on the receiving end of the racist remarks play for Thomasville High School—where minority enrollment is 86%.
Both high schools are located in Thomasville, North Carolina.
The school district has not publicly identified those students involved or disclosed what punishment they may face.
Disgusting.

For a TL cleanse, I took the boat home today, so I walked from 74th Street straight down First Avenue to the 35th Street docks, which gave me a chance to get this perfect square-on iPhone photo of the United Nations. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!

This is an inconceivable amount of money.
This money could make the lives of Americans vastly better—save countless lives. Instead it’s building enormous money furnaces that regurgitate our old ideas back to us in the project to take all our jobs.
It’s an immense moral crime.
Never.

Americans are indicating that they severely dislike his policies. Trump has decided that the only way he can win elections now is by cheating, lying and ripping apart democracy. Are we sure Trump has a U.S. Passport? Sure don't seem like it.

We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.
