A couple days ago, I posted jobs numbers from the past 6 presidents, 3 Republican (Bush I, Bush II, and Trump) and 3 Democratic (Clinton, Obama, and Biden). Over 20 years, nearly 50 million jobs were added under the 3 Democratic presidents, whereas only 2 million have been added under the aforementioned Republicans, over the course of 17 years, 8 months. A good percentage of MAGA responders said something along the lines of, "The Democrat Party only added government jobs! Look at the private sector!"
Very well.
First, let's look at public sector or government jobs.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.127M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +1.934M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): +1.744M
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): -263k
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -575k
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +1.816M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): -230k
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +3.487M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): +2.066M
Difference: Democrats +1.421M/Republicans -1.421M
Not much difference. Now let's move onto the private sector.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.502M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +20.979M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): -368k
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): +11.812M
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -2.19M
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +13.589M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): +1.006M
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +46.380M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): -50k
Difference: Democrats +46.430M/Republicans -46.430M
That's right, over the past 37 years, 8 months, Republican presidents are actually underwater, as far as private-sector jobs go, whereas Democrats are 46 million+ above it. No matter what the GOP tries to sell you on the old, tired narrative that they're better for the economy, the numbers tell a completely different story.

So there is at least one immigrant who fears for his safety in his home country who the Trump administration will let in.

As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.
Tell me how “I love my wife but sometimes I want to square up” is an appropriate article of clothing to sell let alone advertise @shoptemu
I have a feeling your yikes unfortunately isnt referring to the abuse and neglect her rightfully now estranged mother and rapist step father pit her through?
YIkes! Ohio watch this and think about what it means.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. Arthur stayed married to him until his death. Acton and her brother have been estranged since. Multiple outlets cite 1978 court records of the charges.

In Dubai, Paxton and his girlfriend watched fireworks at a party with two fugitives who had failed to return to the U.S. to face federal healthcare fraud charges. One of them, Anosh Ahmed, had donated $190,000 to Paxton.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate.
Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta.
Smith denies it.
Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury.
Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland.
Watch the whole thing:

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Putting Bednar in to pitch the 9th
Then not having him pitch the 10th
Having Blackburn pitch the 10th instead
Not having Ramos bunt Spencer jones over to third and giving jones the steal sign to third
This game is entirely on Boone and might’ve cost us the division again

Hello, Twitter.
We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become.
If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's even worse than you thought.

A federal judge has ruled that Texas’ ban on drag shows is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment, offering the following advice to those offended by drag:
“The solution is relatively simple ... just don’t go [to the shows].”

Defense Secretary Hegseth branded a program to protect civilians as "woke" and "politically correct," then polled his top commanders, expecting them to agree. Instead, every single general told him cutting it would *decrease* operational efficiency and *increase* the risk of misidentifying targets. They explicitly said keeping it was vital for "maximum lethality," not some soft ideal. But Hegseth, ignoring all military expertise, gutted it anyway, prioritizing a culture war talking point over actual combat effectiveness and the advice of people on the ground.
Predictably, after the program was defunded and ignored, U.S. strikes killed hundreds of civilians, drawing global condemnation and Congressional questions. Now, they're considering reviving the very program they demonized. This isn't "supporting the troops" or being "tough on national security." It's dangerous ideological posturing, overriding expert judgment, causing preventable deaths, and then a humiliating reversal when their "bombs away" mentality backfires spectacularly. propublica.org/article/hegse…
This is awesome
Rainmaker just produced ~19M gallons of water in Alaska via next-gen cloud seeding over 3 hours of operations.
We are the first company to provably produce precipitation in Alaska. As promised, we’ve linked our white paper and relevant data.
In the future, Rainmaker will protect and restore glaciers with man-made snowfall.
Immediately, this demonstration shows how Rainmaker will add new water to the Colorado River and Great Salt Lake in the coming months.
We turned around this analysis and white paper just a couple days after operating. There are many data sources I want to deepen our understanding of the atmosphere and increase our provable production; we’re building the instruments to collect that data in subsequent operations. But at Rainmaker, we won’t tout LOIs, simulations, or lab tests. What matters is physically measuring that you’ve affected the atmosphere; proving that we’ve produced water. We prefer sharing only the tech that has proven to make more water for farms, industries, and ecosystems in need.
Expect a regular cadence of these from us as we build the best atmospheric science lab in the world. Feedback is welcome in the interim.
Rainmaker Century.
