Between the collapse of the Brandon presidency, the election day bloodbath, and now the complete disarray of congressional dems, this is an absolutely beautiful thing to watch.
51% say coronavirus situation is getting better, up from 20% in September
36% are worried about contracting COVID-19; was 40% in September
51% think pandemic disruption will continue throughout 2022; 28%, longer
Despite the latest positive swing in views of the pandemic, Americans persist in their belief that the level of disruption that is occurring to travel, school, work and public events in the U.S. will continue through the end of 2022 (51%) or longer (28%).
Oh yeah, pederast. If they were stupid enough to vote for him the first time, the fact that everything he has fucking touched has completely turned to fucking shit will ABSOLUTELY win them back. They ARE fucking imbeciles after all.
LOL! Knee-slappingingly, slap that fucking knee and then slap it again, FUNNY!
November 04 at 2:17 PM PDT House Democrats on Thursday raced to unite their caucus and hold a vote soon on a $1.75 trillion plan to overhaul the nation’s health care, education, climate and tax laws, seeking to put an end to months of arduous political wrangling over President Biden’s economic agenda. With a newly revised bill in hand, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) began the day by stressing Democrats had made significant progress in resolving some of the thorny policy battles that have long divided them. Her top deputies, meanwhile, embarked on a campaign to try to wrangle sufficient support, hoping to advance the tax-and-spending measure along with a separate, parallel bill to improve the nation’s infrastructure before the end of the week. By early Thursday evening, though, House Democratic leaders still did not appear to have the votes necessary to quickly adopt the signature spending package by day’s end, as they had earlier hoped to do. Some lawmakers remained uncomfortable with the bill over the way it handles issues, including immigration. Other moderates, meanwhile, requested more time to study its budgetary impact and address potential roadblocks that the bill might later encounter in the Senate.
So what do we do? Follow the wisdom of Teddy Roosevelt and tax great accumulations of wealth.
The ultra-rich have benefited from the American system — from laws that protect their wealth, and our economy that enabled them to build their fortunes in the first place. They should pay their fair share.
The majority of Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, believe the ultra rich should pay higher taxes. There are many ways to make them do so: closing the stepped up basis loophole, raising the capital gains tax, and fully funding the Internal Revenue Service so it can properly audit the wealthiest taxpayers, for starters.
Beyond those fixes, we need a new wealth tax: a tax of just 2 percent a year on wealth in excess of $1 million. That’s hardly a drop in the bucket for centi-billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, but would generate plenty of revenue to invest in healthcare and education so that millions of Americans have a fair shot at making it.
One of the most important things you as an individual can do is take the time to understand the realities of wealth inequality in America and how the system has become rigged in favor of those at the top — and demand your political representatives take action to unrig it.
Wealth inequality is worse than it has been in a century – and it has contributed to a vicious political-economic cycle in which taxes are cut on the top, resulting in even more concentration of wealth there – while everyone else lives under the cruelest form of capitalism in the world.
We must stop this vicious cycle — and demand an economy that works for the many, not one that concentrates more and more wealth in the hands of a privileged few.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) wants a new, specialty election crimes office to allow police to chase imaginary election fraud cases around the Sunshine State, the latest in months of crackdowns on voting rights in the wake of Donald Trump’s lies about election theft.
DeSantis, who faces a reelection battle in 2022 and a potential 2024 presidential run, has already signed one voter restriction package this year, during an exclusive Fox News segment in May.
Now, he says he wants even more voter restriction laws, including a election police force, even tougher criminal penalties for so-called “ballot harvesting” — that is, possessing more than two ballots — more restrictions on ballot drop boxes, and more frequent purges of voter rolls for deceased and newly-relocated voters.
Why?
DeSantis didn’t point to any specific examples Wednesday of election crimes that would have been prevented, if only his proposed restrictions had been in place earlier. Nor did a spokesperson respond to TPM’s request for specific election crimes that have taken place in Florida over the last couple years.
But the tough-on-crime act from Florida’s governor is part of a nationwide political theater — an effort by Republican politicians to take up Donald Trump’s “election integrity” banner, even and especially if it means intimidating would-be voters with the prospect of criminal charges.
“If you see someone ballot harvesting, what do you do?” DeSantis said at an event filled with cheering supporters in West Palm Beach Wednesday. “If you call into the election office, a lot of times they don’t do anything.”
The governor has a solution to the non-existent problem.

Students at Armstrong High School, north of Pittsburgh, were banned from hockey games and may face further discipline after directing sexually-explicit chants at an opposing female goalie Thursday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
A group of roughly 50-60 students from the school reportedly repeated the chant, which was directed at a female goalie on the Mars hockey team. The goalie has started all five games for the team. The goalie — whose name was not made public by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — was reportedly in tears following the second period.
Armstrong principal Kirk Lorigan said he was "appalled and embarrassed" at the Armstrong students' actions. He said the situation was still being investigated by the school, which is trying to determine which students were involved and which ones led the chants.

By early Thursday evening, though, House Democratic leaders still did not appear to have the votes necessary to quickly adopt the signature spending package by day’s end, as they had earlier hoped to do. Some lawmakers remained uncomfortable with the bill over the way it handles certain policy issues, including immigration. Other moderates, meanwhile, requested more time to study its budgetary impact and address potential roadblocks that the bill might later encounter in the Senate. Asked about the number of skeptical centrists, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.) told reporters it remains “enough to not move it forward.” Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) later said she heard that Democratic leaders are “six votes short” from being able to adopt the bill. The uncertainty left Democrats bracing for yet another long night in what has been a debate with no shortage of them. Pelosi at one point appeared to be whipping votes directly on the House floor, shuttling between factions of her caucus to muscle final approval for the long-stalled spending bill.
Happy Thursday from the place where time stands still, the U.S. Capitol.
We are sensing some movement -- actual movement! -- on the Build Back Better Act and $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
→ President Joe Biden has begun calling undecided House Democrats personally, urging them to support the House’s version of the Build Back Better Act. Biden’s involvement this evening is new. Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the White House some names, asking for the president to make the calls.
→ Pelosi told us that the House Rules Committee will meet this evening to set floor debate for the BBB. If Democrats can get a rule reported tonight, we imagine they’ll put the rule on the floor tomorrow -- if they can pass it. It’s not entirely clear they can pass the rule due to policy concerns throughout the caucus. But going to Rules indicates they believe they can find a majority to clear that procedural hurdle tomorrow -- or at some point in the near future. And if Democrats can pass the rule, they can probably pass the BBB.
→ Pelosi has been working members hard: The speaker has been wheeling around the floor of the House with a paper in her hand, her aides trailing her, talking to key factions she needs in order to pass the BBB. Pelosi huddled for a while with Texas Reps. Henry Cuellar, Lizzie Fletcher and Veronica Escobar. Cuellar has problems with the proposed fee on methane emissions. When we spoke to him just off the House floor, Cuellar told us this:
“They had told us that they were not going to move this until they have 50 votes [in] the Senate and they also told us that we were going to vote on the BIF on September 27. And here we are. So the two things that they told us have not been kept together. So there is certainly a lack of trust among some of the moderates on that. I mean, I certainly want to move the ball forward, but I mean, I still want to know what are the differences -- what have the 50 senators agreed to.”
Cuellar seems to be coming around, according to sources familiar with the process.
→ Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), a firm holdout, doesn’t seem to be moving yet: “There are elements of the bill that are still being negotiated. So the text isn't yet set. I look forward to the point in time when it is and then I'd like to understand better how much the bill will cost the taxpayers.”
→ Ways and Means Committee Chair Richie Neal (D-Mass.) told us that there were issues with the prescription drug language in the bill. As of 6 p.m., Pelosi and her top health care aide Wendell Primus were in the Ways and Means Committee room just off the House floor with Democratic Reps. Scott Peters (Calif.), Kathleen Rice (N.Y.), Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Frank Pallone (N.J.) and Neal trying to craft new language. Remember: lawmakers hashed out a bicameral prescription drug deal this week, and now Democratic are trying to tweak that language. The meeting broke up and the attendees said they were refining language.
Pelosi has no margin for error here at all. The House has blown past every deadline it has given itself on the BBB. Since Pelosi doesn’t have to negotiate with the Senate, she has to make every change that House lawmakers want in order to get to 218.
Leadership’s best case scenario is: Rules tonight … Rule vote and BBB/BIF vote tomorrow. But we’re still miles away from that becoming a reality.
To borrow an idiom from the book The Animal Farm, in this new America it’s already becoming -evident that some Americans will be treated more equally than others. (For examples see: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bill and Melinda Gates, the Clinton Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Christopher Wray, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Andrew McCabe, Dr. Anthony Fauci, George Soros, and the plethora of others globalist minions, from Jeffery Epstein to Hunter Biden)
With that said, if their modus operandi holds, look for the establishment to carry out some catastrophic distraction (false flag), which will later be blamed on some mentally deficient party or a “White supremacist.” That will distract the public from reaction to the governing class’s treachery.
House Democrats are now planning to vote Friday on their long-sought social spending package as well as the bipartisan infrastructure bill as they rush to deliver on President Biden's agenda after disappointing state election results earlier this week.
The House Rules Committee met late Thursday night to advance the final text of the social spending legislation.
Next, according to Democratic sources familiar with the plan, the House will convene at 8 a.m. Friday to debate and vote on the package, titled the Build Back Better Act. A vote to clear the bipartisan infrastructure bill — which has stalled in the House since its Senate passage in August due to progressive resistance — will follow.
The House already completed floor debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill in late September, when Democratic leaders had first hoped to clinch a deal on the two measures.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her leadership team have been laboring for more than a month to pass both the social spending package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but have repeatedly had to delay House floor action due to stubborn internal divisions over strategy.
The Friday votes would come three days after Democrats suffered a disappointing loss in the Virginia gubernatorial election — the first time in 12 years that Democrats lost statewide, and only a year after Biden had carried the state by 10 points.
And in New Jersey, another diverse blue state, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy only narrowly won reelection in a race that wasn’t expected to be so close.
The electoral setbacks on Tuesday have heightened Democrats’ anxiety about their prospects in next year’s midterm elections, where Republicans only have to flip five seats to take back the House and just one to control the Senate.
In a sign of the high stakes for his agenda, Biden made calls Thursday night to House Democrats to urge support for the social spending package, according to a White House official. Biden did not advocate for specific timing, however.
House Democratic leaders spent the day trying to iron out the remaining issues to round up the votes for the social spending package, which includes an extension of the child tax credit, universal preschool, four weeks of paid family and medical leave, and tax credits to incentivize climate change initiatives.
Pelosi cited an analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation, which estimated that the social spending package’s revenue measures would raise $1.5 trillion over a decade, excluding an additional $650 billion in savings from the IRS tax enforcement and prescription drug pricing provisions.
Aside from immigration, the Senate is likely to make additional changes before the bill is signed into law. Some senators have offered a different proposal for the state and local tax deduction, and key centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) has expressed opposition to including paid family leave.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Friday on the Build Back Better Act, the reconciliation bill devoted to climate change and social programs, and the bipartisan infrastructure bill already passed in the Senate in August, according to a senior Democratic aide.
Democrats have failed to meet previous self-imposed deadlines to pass the bills that form the cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda, but the aide said that leadership was confident on finishing on Friday.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden called numerous House lawmakers on Thursday to help rally support for his legislative agenda, four sources familiar with the matter told NBC News, as Democratic leaders laid the groundwork for Friday votes on both a social safety net bill and an infrastructure package that would cap months of internal party negotiations.
A Democratic leadership source said the House plans to vote on the two pieces of legislation Friday, and that leaders are feeling confident they will finish them in one day, a move that would hand Biden a major legislative victory at a time when his poll numbers are falling.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is aiming to pass the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better legislation and separately send the $550 billion Senate-passed infrastructure measure to Biden's desk this week. Due to narrow margins, she cannot afford to lose more than three Democrats to ensure passage of the
Democratic leaders seemed to be making progress on gaining consensus in the caucus on Thursday. After suggesting earlier in the day that the social policy bill would fail, moderate Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, tweeted that he would vote for it.
The final outstanding issues in the social safety net bill — immigration, the cost of the legislation, and state and local tax (SALT) deductions — appeared to have been resolved by Thursday evening.
On the tax deductions, two sources told NBC News that negotiations have wrapped up and that the New York and New Jersey SALT caucus has signed off on them. The new provision would increase the annual $10,000 cap on deductions to $80,000.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., said Congressional Hispanic Caucus members were "encouraged" after meeting with Pelosi on immigration, adding that she agreed to consider “ideas and legislation” after Biden's economic agenda is passed.
Pelosi addressed concerns about the cost of the social safety net bill in a letter to Democratic colleagues Thursday evening touting a new White House estimate that said the bill was "fully paid for." That followed an estimate by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation that found the Build Back Better bill would raise $1.47 trillion from new taxes.
The House Rules Committee on Thursday evening was expected to meet to discuss the final steps before the safety net legislation can head to the floor for a vote by all House lawmakers. The infrastructure bill is already cleared for a vote.
Letting us know of yet another epic fail by the donks? Thanks alky but we've seen this coming from far, far away.

Uh alky, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not "a defining moment in history" until it passes both chambers of congress and hits Poopy Pants Brandon's desk and he signs it.
Until then it's just more failure theatre from the donks.
Pelosi Prepares to Send Her Most Vulnerable Members to the Slaughter
The Associated Press reports that, unchastised by Tuesday night’s rout, Nancy Pelosi plans to ready the House of Representatives for a “debate and vote on a revised draft of President Joe Biden’s now-$1.85 trillion domestic policy package.” The decision, the AP suggests, is intended to “show voters the party can deliver on its priorities.”
That’s one way of putting it, certainly. Another might be: Nancy Pelosi hopes to appease the progressive wing of her caucus by sending her most vulnerable members unarmed into the Somme.
Substantively, what Pelosi is proposing is bonkers. For a start, there is no “Build Back Better” bill. It remains what it has always been: a slogan, in search of a topline, in search of an agenda. There is only one thing on which the Democratic Party is agreed, and that is that the United States should spend at least two trillion more dollars over the next decade than it had planned to before Joe Biden won. On what? Well, that depends. Some want tax cuts for the rich. Some want to send checks to Americans who have kids. Some want a bunch of new permanent programs. Some want climate-change-mitigation measures. Some want a second New Deal. At various points during the last few months, all of these things have been in the bill in one form or another, and, at various points, they’ve been taken out again. There is a reason that we have not had a “national debate” over the “Biden agenda,” and that reason is that, beyond its cost, there is nothing concrete to debate.
The result has been the creation of a protean piece of vaporware that nobody in Congress seems much to like, and that the American people seem increasingly to loathe. Since Tuesday’s elections, the institutional Democratic Party has rallied stupidly around the idea that, in order to stave off further electoral losses, it must show voters that it can “get things done” — as if the average American citizen favors action for its own sake. But, of course, it must do no such thing. Reflecting upon this fallacy, Abigail Spanberger, a moderate Democrat from Virginia, noted yesterday that “nobody elected [Biden] to be F.D.R., they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos,” while Representative Kathleen Rice, her colleague from New York, seemed baffled by the whole thing. “I don’t understand some of my more progressive colleagues saying [that Tuesday] night now shows us that what we need to do is get both of these bills done and shove even more progressive stuff in,” Rice said.
Rice is correct. And yet, inexplicably, “shove even more progressive stuff in” is precisely what Nancy Pelosi has chosen to do in response. Yesterday morning, despite knowing full well that Joe Manchin is implacably opposed to it, House Democrats added a previously removed paid-leave provision back into the bill, and thereby increased, rather than decreased, the electoral risk it poses to swing-district denizens such as Spanberger and Rice. Why? Well, because the less aligned the House and the Senate become, the more likely it is that the House passes a bill that dies a slow death in the Senate, and, in turn, the more likely it is that the raft of moderate House Democrats who end up voting for it will be left stranded. As the victims of the failed attempt to repeal Obamacare will tell you, there is nothing worse in American politics than having cast a recorded vote for an unpopular bill that is defeated in the other chamber; you don’t have any tangible accomplishment to point to for your trouble, and you’re left vulnerable to attack ads in your next campaign.
"“My Build Back Better plan will be a force for achieving low prices for Americans looking ahead,” the president said, arguing that it “will enhance our productivity — raising wages without raising prices."
Yep, he is. LIKE FDR he is a Socialist. LIKE FDR , the US Supreme court ruled against him and will in the future. LIKE FOR, Brandon has fucked up the US Economy
Pfizer announced on Friday that its pill to treat Covid-19 had been found in a key clinical trial to be highly effective at preventing severe illness among at-risk people who received the drug soon after they exhibited symptoms.
The antiviral pill is the second of its kind to demonstrate efficacy against Covid. It appears to be more effective than a similar offering from Merck, which is awaiting federal authorization.
Pfizer’s pill, which will be sold under the brand name Paxlovid, cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 89 percent when given within three days of the start of symptoms.
Pfizer said an independent board of experts monitoring its clinical trial had recommended that the study be stopped early because the drug’s benefit to patients had proved so convincing. The company said that it planned to submit the data as soon as possible to the Food and Drug Administration to seek authorization for the pill to be used in the United States.
“The results are really beyond our wildest dreams,” said Annaliesa Anderson, a Pfizer executive who led the drug’s development. She expressed hope that Paxlovid “can have a big impact on helping all our lives go back to normal again and seeing the end of the pandemic.”
The treatment could become available in the next few months, though supplies are likely to be limited at first. The Pfizer and Merck pills are both geared toward patients regarded as high-risk, such as those above the age of 60 or with conditions like obesity that make them more susceptible to severe consequences from Covid.
Timeline of the coup: How Trump tried to weaponize the Justice Department to overturn the 2020 election By Marshall Cohen CNN Illustration by Alberto Mier Updated 1 hour ago Nov 5, 2021 Washington (CNN) - Program notes: Programming note: A new CNN documentary, "Trumping Democracy: An American Coup," about former President Donald Trump's attempts to subvert the 2020 election, premieres at 9 p.m. ET on Friday, November 5. A full year after the 2020 presidential election, new details are still emerging about former President Donald Trump's unprecedented effort to overturn the results. Many of Trump's actions were done in public view, including dozens of ill-fated lawsuits and tweets that undermined the electoral process. But congressional inquiries and news reports have shed new light on what happened behind the scenes as Trump tried to cling to power. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Trump's attempted coup was how he relentlessly tried to weaponize the Justice Department to nullify President Joe Biden's victory. The Democratic-run Senate Judiciary Committee investigated Trump's conduct and concluded in a recent report that he "grossly abused the power of the presidency." Here's a big-picture breakdown of the attempted coup, along with a day-by-day timeline of Trump's efforts to co-opt the Justice Department to help his campaign. Big-picture summary of the coup attempt Four days after Election Day, CNN and other news outlets projected that Biden had won. Instead of conceding, Trump immediately started pressuring local, state and federal officials to overturn the results. Many of these officials rebuffed his demands, concluding they were unethical, illegal or unconstitutional. But some officials and advisers joined the charge and tried to help. Within weeks, Trump met with and spoke to officials from Michigan and Pennsylvania who were involved in the election process, hoping they'd block Biden's victory. He fired a senior cybersecurity official at the Department of Homeland Security who publicly debunked his lies about voter fraud. And he cranked up the pressure on the Justice Department, even after Attorney General Bill Barr ordered prosecutors to investigate voter fraud allegations. He tried -- but failed -- to stop certification in key states in late November and December. After that, Trump and his allies filed meritless lawsuits across the country seeking to nullify the results. Trump called Pennsylvania lawmakers, urging them to ignore the fact that Biden won their state and appoint GOP electors instead. He called Georgia's governor and pushed him to convince state lawmakers there to do the same. These efforts also fell flat, and members of the Electoral College met on December 14, 2020, to officially affirm Biden's victory. Running out of time before the transfer of power, Trump also mounted a private and public effort to pressure Vice President Mike Pence into unconstitutionally nullifying Biden's win while presiding over the Electoral College process. The coup attempt reached a horrifying crescendo on January 6, 2021, when Trump held a massive rally near the White House and incited thousands of supporters to attack the Capitol while lawmakers were certifying the Electoral College results. The insurrection was quelled, but it led to five deaths and 140 police officers were injured. Biden was inaugurated two weeks later. Timeline of Trump's efforts to abuse the DOJ
November 7 • CNN and other news networks project that Biden will win the 2020 presidential election. November 9 • Breaking from long-standing Justice Department policy, Barr issues a directive giving federal prosecutors more leeway to ramp up voter fraud investigations. The move is controversial because -- for decades -- the Justice Department would wait until elections were certified before taking overt investigative steps, to avoid the appearance of trying to influence the results. The top election crimes prosecutor resigns in protest, and other prosecutors denounce Barr's order. November 19 • Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell hold a bizarre news conference filled with lies about fraud and unhinged talk of a worldwide conspiracy to rig the election. Powell says, "A full-scale criminal investigation needs to be undertaken immediately by the Department of Justice." November 29 • In an interview with Fox News, Trump says it's "inconceivable" that the Justice Department and FBI aren't doing more to investigate his voter fraud allegations. "Where are they?" he asks. December 1 • Barr tells The Associated Press in a bombshell interview that the Justice Department didn't find widespread fraud. After the story is published, Trump confronts Barr in the White House. According to a book by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, an "explosive and crazed" Trump berates Barr for publicly admitting that there wasn't widespread fraud. Barr tells Trump his campaign lawyers are a "clown show" and that his fraud claims are "complete nonsense." December 10 • Trump retweets a post from a Republican congressman who said Trump should order Barr to appoint a special prosecutor to "investigate irregularities in the 2020 election." December 14 • Trump's assistant sends Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen a document about alleged irregularities in Michigan and says it's "from POTUS," according to emails released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Later that day, while the Electoral College meets in state capitals, Trump announces that Barr will resign and Rosen will soon replace him in an acting capacity. CNN reported that Trump seriously considered firing Barr, but Barr decided to quit. December 15 •
Clark circulates a draft letter among Justice Department leadership that he wants to send to officials in Georgia. The letter would've done exactly what Trump wanted: It says prosecutors found "significant concerns" with the election results and urges the Republican governor to "immediately call a special session" of the state legislature to appoint pro-Trump electors. Clark calls this a "proof of concept" that could be replicated in other states Trump lost. • Rosen and Donoghue refuse to sign the letter and it is never sent. In an email, Donoghue bluntly tells Clark that "there is no chance that I would sign this letter or anything remotely like this." • The Senate Judiciary Committee report concluded that "Clark's proposal to wield DOJ's power to override the already-certified popular vote reflected a stunning distortion of DOJ's authority." • Separately, Trump meets with a supportive attorney, Kurt Olsen. Trump directs Olsen to get in touch with top Justice Department officials about filing a lawsuit that would nullify the results from several key states that Biden won, according to emails released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Olsen later has a phone call with Rosen's chief of staff about the potential suit. • According to internal emails made public in the Senate report, Clark starts promoting pro-Trump conspiracy theories within the Justice Department, including the absurd claim that Chinese spies used thermometers to tamper with US voting machines. December 29 • Trump's assistant sends a draft lawsuit to Rosen, saying Trump wants him to review it, according to emails released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The lawsuit, which was peddled by Olsen, isn't ever filed. But the draft envisions that the Justice Department would ask the Supreme Court to nullify the results from several battleground states that Biden won. • White House chief of staff Mark Meadows emails Rosen for the first time about a farfetched and baseless conspiracy theory alleging that Biden supporters at the CIA used Italian satellites to remotely switch votes from Trump to Biden. December 30 • Meadows emails Rosen and asks him to "have your team look into" several pro-Trump voter fraud theories in Georgia, according to documents released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Separately, Trump retweets a post about fraud claims in Georgia, and adds, "where is the FBI?"
President Biden is ‘perfectly comfortable’ with his administration paying immigrant families to resolve lawsuits alleging they suffered trauma from being separated after illegally crossing the Mexico border, a White House spokeswoman said Thursday, in a bid to clarify Mr. Biden’s comment a day earlier that such payouts weren’t going to happen,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Commerce Department reported last week that the economy grew by 0.5 percent in the third quarter, compared with 1.6 percent in the second quarter. Economists attributed the slowdown to the resurgent pandemic and supply chain holdups that have caused shortages of key components, hampering manufacturers.
After the economy added more than one million jobs in July, employment growth has slowed sharply. Even though there are five million fewer jobs than there were before the pandemic, some employers are complaining of a shortage of workers, as many people remain on the sidelines of the job market. The labor force — the working-age population employed or looking for a job — actually contracted by 183,000 in September.
In theory, the demand for workers should be drawing more people into the labor force, but the participation rate is nearly two percentage points below where it was before the pandemic. Early retirements have been a factor.
A federal supplement to unemployment benefits expired in early September, and experts are watching whether the end of that assistance — and a depletion of savings accumulated from other emergency programs — increases the availability of workers.
So far, those effects have been muted, as health concerns and child care challenges have continued to affect many families. At the same time, the labor shortage has given workers a measure of leverage they’ve not experienced in recent years, contributing to wage growth.
“For the last 25, maybe 30 years, labor has been on its back heels and losing its share of the economic pie,” said Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “But that dynamic is now shifting.”
For many companies, the increase in labor costs is a challenge in an uncertain business environment. And lingering supply-chain troubles have meant that shipping costs — which are passed on to consumers in the form of more expensive goods — remain significantly above prepandemic levels.
Still, there are reasons to be optimistic. The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that it would begin winding down the large-scale bond purchases that have been underway since the pandemic struck, signaling that it considers the economy healthy enough to be weaned from the extra stimulus.

House Democrats are expected to vote Friday on a new version of President Biden's social spending plan and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Thursday night.
Hoyer said the House Rules Committee will meet Thursday night, and the House will reconvene in Friday morning at 8 a.m. ET to vote.
A Democratic aide said party leadership is feeling confident about finishing those key agenda items Friday, following weeks and months of negotiations.
The latest iteration of the Build Back Better bill restores paid family and medical leave — after that provision had been dropped from the bill over opposition from Senator Joe Manchin. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal announced Wednesday the provision was officially back in the proposal, hours after Republican Glenn Youngkin was projected to be the winner of the governor's race in Virginia.
Neal said Democrats could pass paid family leave "responsibly, fully paying for this means-tested program." The measure would allow qualifying Americans to receive four weeks of paid leave. But Manchin told reporters on the same day that he hadn't been informed that House Democrats were putting paid leave back into the spending plan, and he indicated that the idea would have his support in a separate measure

Special Counsel John Durham’s indictment Thursday of “dossier” source Igor Danchenko revealed the first real evidence of “Russia collusion” — and it was linked to Hillary Clinton’s associates, not with Donald Trump or his presidential campaign.
The American economy added 531,000 jobs in October, the Labor Department said Friday, a sharp rebound from the prior month and a sign that employers are feeling more optimistic as the latest coronavirus surge eases.
Economists polled by Bloomberg had been looking for a gain of 450,000 jobs. The unemployment rate declined to 4.6 percent, from 4.8 percent.
The October gain was an improvement from the 312,000 positions added in September — a number that was revised upward on Friday.
Hiring has seesawed this year along with the pandemic, especially in vulnerable sectors like hospitality and retail, where workers must deal face to face with customers. White-collar employees have fared better, since many can work remotely.
Some employers are complaining of a shortage of workers, as many people remain on the sidelines of the job market. The labor force participation rate — the share of the working-age population employed or looking for a job — was flat in October.

Priorities USA, one of the Democrat Party’s top super PACs, has told the Party to shape up or else face serious losses in the upcoming mid-terms and beyond.
In a memo obtained by Politico, Priorities USA minced no words regarding the Republican victories in Virginia and other elections on Tuesday night, admitting that the party faces “difficult challenges” in the year ahead. The memo said:
Voters are frustrated, skeptical, and tired — of covid, of economic hardship, of school closings, of higher prices and stagnant wages, of unaffordable prescription drugs and health care and more. Without results (and effectively communicating those results), voters will punish the party in power.
The memo further warned Democrats that the results in Virginia and New Jersey are nothing compared to the losses that await them in the 2022 mid-terms when they will have to defend seats in highly competitive regions.
“Our congressional majorities depend on winning Senate and House seats that are much more competitive than New Jersey and Virginia, giving us little room for error. The same is true for key governors’ races and state legislative seats,” the memo asserted.

Job creation roars back in October as payrolls rise by 531,000

Another white supremacist group is working to spark a civil war, according to a video captured by the FBI.
WABC reported Friday that for months the FBI watched the group "The Base" as they plotted a terrorist attack using a pro-gun rights rally in Richmond, Virginia. The men were sentenced in late October to nine years in prison, but ABC just obtained the 2019 audio from the secret recordings at their Delaware home.
The extremist group has been recruiting members since 2018 in the U.S. and around the world. They've used "online chat rooms, private meetings, and military-style training camps" that prepare them for a new civil war.
The recordings cite the men plotting acts of terror around the rally that would ultimately bring down the U.S. government.
"Patrik Mathews, a former Canadian Army reservist illegally in the U.S., and Brian Lemley, a Maryland resident and self-described white nationalist, fantasized about the brutal murders they'd soon carry out against law enforcement and Black people, all with the goal of bringing about the 'Boogaloo,' or the collapse of the U.S. government in order to prop up a white ethno-state," the report said citing the recordings.

The job market added a stunning 531,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.6% — a new pandemic-era low.
Why it matters: America's job market recovery has been on track all along.
Between the lines: Revisions to prior months are often overlooked. Not this month: Upgrades to both August and September were so enormous — fully 366,000 jobs higher than originally reported — that they have definitively reversed the narrative that there was a Delta-induced hiring slump in late summer.
By the numbers: America has now recovered 80% of the jobs lost at the depth of the recession in 2020.
The big picture: Leisure and hospitality added 164,000 jobs last month — but jobs growth was widespread. The disappointment — again — came in public sector education. State and local education shed a combined 65,000 jobs.
Wages are still rising: Average hourly earnings rose another 11 cents an hour in October, to $30.96. That's enough to keep up with inflation.
Why you could pay double for a Thanksgiving turkey this year
"I can buy that this will be the most expensive Thanksgiving ever, but there’s an income-inequality story here that matters a lot,” Trey Malone, an agricultural economist at Michigan State University, told the Times. “The rich are going to be spending more on Thanksgiving than they have ever spent before, but not everyone is going to be able to do that."
The Conference Board, a business research group, said that in its October consumer confidence survey, the proportion of Americans who said they planned to buy cars, homes or major appliances all rose. And nearly half the survey respondents said they planned to vacation in the next six months — the highest such proportion since February 2020, before COVID-19 ripped through the economy.
Yet some companies say they still can’t find enough workers to fill jobs. Many parents, particularly mothers, haven’t returned to the workforce after having left jobs during the pandemic to care for children or other relatives. Defying the predictions of some like kputz and rrb the expiration of a $300-a-week federal unemployment supplement hasn’t caused more people to look for work. Roughly 5 million fewer people have jobs now than did before the pandemic.
Most economists say they’re hopeful that with vaccinations helping to suppress the delta wave, more people will seek and find jobs because they’re no longer sick or caring for someone who is or because they no longer fear becoming infected. Those health issues had sidelined more people in September than in previous months.
The draw of higher income could entice more people to come off the sidelines and look for work again. Wages and salaries in the July-September quarter, compared with a year earlier, jumped by the most in 20 years. Most of that gain, though, went to already employed people who left their jobs: The number of people who quit, mostly to take new positions, has reached a record high.
Rising inflation, though, has eroded much of the value of those pay increases and has become the most serious headwind for the U.S. economy. Higher costs for food, heating oil, rents and furniture have burdened millions of families. Prices rose 4.4% in September compared with 12 months earlier, the sharpest such increase in three decades.
That inflation surge was a key reason why the Federal Reserve announced this week that it would begin winding down the stimulus it has given the economy since the pandemic recession struck last year. The Fed will do so by reducing its monthly bond purchases, which have been intended to hold down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending.
Chair Jerome Powell suggested that it won’t be possible to gain a clear picture of the job market’s health until the impact of COVID-19 declines further, which could take months.
Yet in the meantime, there are plenty of signs that the economy is healing: The number of people applying for first-time unemployment benefits fell for a fifth straight week, to a level nearly as low as the pace of jobless claims before the pandemic struck 20 months ago.
And while hiring has slowed for now, consumers as a whole have solid financial cushions. After several rounds of stimulus checks and other government support payments, Americans overall have amassed about $2.5 trillion more in savings than they had before the pandemic. As that money is spent, it will likely fuel further economic activity.

In the late 70s we experienced stagflation, and the Reagan administration introduced top down economics. And the former President who inherited the longest economic recovery in history.
This recovery is the exact opposite solution. Bottom Up Economics
In the last expansion, the United States achieved 4.8 percent unemployment in January 2016 — but didn’t reach 4.6 percent until more than a year later, in February 2017.
Indeed, there are lots of signs that this is a hyper-speed recovery compared to the last one. The share of the 25- to 54-year-old workers who are employed jumped 0.3 percentage points in October.
In the last year that share has risen from 76 percent to 78.3 percent. That same shift took about four and a half years in the last expansion, from September 2012 to February 2017.
Put simply, for all the discussion of labor shortages, and the fact that the share of adults who are part of the labor force has remained well below prepandemic levels, employers keep managing to find people to take jobs. The latest numbers undermine any narrative that the pandemic has caused large masses of people to leave the work force permanently, whether because of government stimulus benefits or personal factors.
Employers are paying more to get those workers, it’s worth noting. Average hourly earnings for private-sector workers were up 0.4 percent in October and are up 4.9 percent over the last year. That is high by recent standards, but probably a bit below the inflation rate in that span. (October inflation numbers are not out yet, but for the 12 months ended in September the Consumer Price Index was up 5.4 percent.)
The wage story looks better for rank-and-file American workers. Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees have risen 5.8 percent over the last year, which is likely to be higher than inflation was over that span. That is the steepest one-year gain since 1982, other than a couple of months early in the pandemic that featured unusual statistical aberrations.

House Democrats on Thursday raced to unite their caucus and hold a vote soon on a $1.75 trillion plan to overhaul the nation’s health care, education, climate and tax laws, seeking to put an end to months of arduous political wrangling over President Biden’s economic agenda.
With a newly revised bill in hand, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) began the day by stressing Democrats had made significant progress in resolving some of the thorny policy battles that have long divided them. Her top deputies, meanwhile, embarked on a campaign to try to wrangle sufficient support, hoping to advance the tax-and-spending measure along with a separate, parallel bill to improve the nation’s infrastructure before the end of the week.
By early Thursday evening, though, House Democratic leaders still did not appear to have the votes necessary to quickly adopt the signature spending package by day’s end, as they had earlier hoped to do. Some lawmakers remained uncomfortable with the bill over the way it handles issues, including immigration. Other moderates, meanwhile, requested more time to study its budgetary impact and address potential roadblocks that the bill might later encounter in the Senate.
Teddy Roosevelt again?
V. How to reduce the wealth gap
So what do we do? Follow the wisdom of Teddy Roosevelt and tax great accumulations of wealth.
The ultra-rich have benefited from the American system — from laws that protect their wealth, and our economy that enabled them to build their fortunes in the first place. They should pay their fair share.
The majority of Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, believe the ultra rich should pay higher taxes. There are many ways to make them do so: closing the stepped up basis loophole, raising the capital gains tax, and fully funding the Internal Revenue Service so it can properly audit the wealthiest taxpayers, for starters.
Beyond those fixes, we need a new wealth tax: a tax of just 2 percent a year on wealth in excess of $1 million. That’s hardly a drop in the bucket for centi-billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, but would generate plenty of revenue to invest in healthcare and education so that millions of Americans have a fair shot at making it.
One of the most important things you as an individual can do is take the time to understand the realities of wealth inequality in America and how the system has become rigged in favor of those at the top — and demand your political representatives take action to unrig it.
Wealth inequality is worse than it has been in a century – and it has contributed to a vicious political-economic cycle in which taxes are cut on the top, resulting in even more concentration of wealth there – while everyone else lives under the cruelest form of capitalism in the world.
We must stop this vicious cycle — and demand an economy that works for the many, not one that concentrates more and more wealth in the hands of a privileged few.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) wants a new, specialty election crimes office to allow police to chase imaginary election fraud cases around the Sunshine State, the latest in months of crackdowns on voting rights in the wake of Donald Trump’s lies about election theft.
DeSantis, who faces a reelection battle in 2022 and a potential 2024 presidential run, has already signed one voter restriction package this year, during an exclusive Fox News segment in May.
Now, he says he wants even more voter restriction laws, including a election police force, even tougher criminal penalties for so-called “ballot harvesting” — that is, possessing more than two ballots — more restrictions on ballot drop boxes, and more frequent purges of voter rolls for deceased and newly-relocated voters.
Why?
DeSantis didn’t point to any specific examples Wednesday of election crimes that would have been prevented, if only his proposed restrictions had been in place earlier. Nor did a spokesperson respond to TPM’s request for specific election crimes that have taken place in Florida over the last couple years.
But the tough-on-crime act from Florida’s governor is part of a nationwide political theater — an effort by Republican politicians to take up Donald Trump’s “election integrity” banner, even and especially if it means intimidating would-be voters with the prospect of criminal charges.
“If you see someone ballot harvesting, what do you do?” DeSantis said at an event filled with cheering supporters in West Palm Beach Wednesday. “If you call into the election office, a lot of times they don’t do anything.”
The governor has a solution to the non-existent problem.
Of course there may be some appropriate compensation to some who were terribly mishandled.
$450,000 per individual is what is not going to happen.

Students at Armstrong High School, north of Pittsburgh, were banned from hockey games and may face further discipline after directing sexually-explicit chants at an opposing female goalie Thursday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
A group of roughly 50-60 students from the school reportedly repeated the chant, which was directed at a female goalie on the Mars hockey team. The goalie has started all five games for the team. The goalie — whose name was not made public by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — was reportedly in tears following the second period.
Armstrong principal Kirk Lorigan said he was "appalled and embarrassed" at the Armstrong students' actions. He said the situation was still being investigated by the school, which is trying to determine which students were involved and which ones led the chants.

It’s beyond obvious with this Steele associate indictment that the entire Mueller probe was designed to cover up the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign and FBI colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election and then run a coup against Trump after he won.
and accused him of doing what they actually did

If the media was 1/100th as interested in the actual coup attempted against President Trump that started with the Steele dossier, as they are in the January 6th pretend insurrection, the country would be a much better place.

Not yet today
By early Thursday evening, though, House Democratic leaders still did not appear to have the votes necessary to quickly adopt the signature spending package by day’s end, as they had earlier hoped to do. Some lawmakers remained uncomfortable with the bill over the way it handles certain policy issues, including immigration. Other moderates, meanwhile, requested more time to study its budgetary impact and address potential roadblocks that the bill might later encounter in the Senate.
Asked about the number of skeptical centrists, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.) told reporters it remains “enough to not move it forward.” Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) later said she heard that Democratic leaders are “six votes short” from being able to adopt the bill.
The uncertainty left Democrats bracing for yet another long night in what has been a debate with no shortage of them. Pelosi at one point appeared to be whipping votes directly on the House floor, shuttling between factions of her caucus to muscle final approval for the long-stalled spending bill.

Here is an idea, go back to Pres. Trumps policies where the US is a net exporter and the jobs are done by Americans.
Happy Thursday from the place where time stands still, the U.S. Capitol.
We are sensing some movement -- actual movement! -- on the Build Back Better Act and $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
→ President Joe Biden has begun calling undecided House Democrats personally, urging them to support the House’s version of the Build Back Better Act. Biden’s involvement this evening is new. Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the White House some names, asking for the president to make the calls.
→ Pelosi told us that the House Rules Committee will meet this evening to set floor debate for the BBB. If Democrats can get a rule reported tonight, we imagine they’ll put the rule on the floor tomorrow -- if they can pass it. It’s not entirely clear they can pass the rule due to policy concerns throughout the caucus. But going to Rules indicates they believe they can find a majority to clear that procedural hurdle tomorrow -- or at some point in the near future. And if Democrats can pass the rule, they can probably pass the BBB.
→ Pelosi has been working members hard: The speaker has been wheeling around the floor of the House with a paper in her hand, her aides trailing her, talking to key factions she needs in order to pass the BBB. Pelosi huddled for a while with Texas Reps. Henry Cuellar, Lizzie Fletcher and Veronica Escobar. Cuellar has problems with the proposed fee on methane emissions. When we spoke to him just off the House floor, Cuellar told us this:
“They had told us that they were not going to move this until they have 50 votes [in] the Senate and they also told us that we were going to vote on the BIF on September 27. And here we are. So the two things that they told us have not been kept together. So there is certainly a lack of trust among some of the moderates on that. I mean, I certainly want to move the ball forward, but I mean, I still want to know what are the differences -- what have the 50 senators agreed to.”
Cuellar seems to be coming around, according to sources familiar with the process.
→ Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), a firm holdout, doesn’t seem to be moving yet: “There are elements of the bill that are still being negotiated. So the text isn't yet set. I look forward to the point in time when it is and then I'd like to understand better how much the bill will cost the taxpayers.”
→ Ways and Means Committee Chair Richie Neal (D-Mass.) told us that there were issues with the prescription drug language in the bill. As of 6 p.m., Pelosi and her top health care aide Wendell Primus were in the Ways and Means Committee room just off the House floor with Democratic Reps. Scott Peters (Calif.), Kathleen Rice (N.Y.), Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Frank Pallone (N.J.) and Neal trying to craft new language. Remember: lawmakers hashed out a bicameral prescription drug deal this week, and now Democratic are trying to tweak that language. The meeting broke up and the attendees said they were refining language.
Pelosi has no margin for error here at all. The House has blown past every deadline it has given itself on the BBB. Since Pelosi doesn’t have to negotiate with the Senate, she has to make every change that House lawmakers want in order to get to 218.
Leadership’s best case scenario is: Rules tonight … Rule vote and BBB/BIF vote tomorrow. But we’re still miles away from that becoming a reality.

To borrow an idiom from the book The Animal Farm, in this new America it’s already becoming -evident that some Americans will be treated more equally than others. (For examples see: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bill and Melinda Gates, the Clinton Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Christopher Wray, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Andrew McCabe, Dr. Anthony Fauci, George Soros, and the plethora of others globalist minions, from Jeffery Epstein to Hunter Biden)
Tucker Carlson has turned this Revolver exposé into a documentary available on Fox Nation. Since Tucker began promoting his documentary, America’s ruling class, anticipating what would be seen, suffered exploding head-itis, metaphorically speaking. Folks like RINO Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, Liz Cheney, and Ben Sasse on the right, and Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, Ted Lieu, and David Cicilline on the left, are beside themselves. One can only imagine, then, what all those Deep-State functionaries at America’s mainstream media networks are going through.
With that said, if their modus operandi holds, look for the establishment to carry out some catastrophic distraction (false flag), which will later be blamed on some mentally deficient party or a “White supremacist.” That will distract the public from reaction to the governing class’s treachery.
Happy Friday
House Democrats are now planning to vote Friday on their long-sought social spending package as well as the bipartisan infrastructure bill as they rush to deliver on President Biden's agenda after disappointing state election results earlier this week.
The House Rules Committee met late Thursday night to advance the final text of the social spending legislation.
Next, according to Democratic sources familiar with the plan, the House will convene at 8 a.m. Friday to debate and vote on the package, titled the Build Back Better Act. A vote to clear the bipartisan infrastructure bill — which has stalled in the House since its Senate passage in August due to progressive resistance — will follow.
The House already completed floor debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill in late September, when Democratic leaders had first hoped to clinch a deal on the two measures.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her leadership team have been laboring for more than a month to pass both the social spending package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but have repeatedly had to delay House floor action due to stubborn internal divisions over strategy.
The Friday votes would come three days after Democrats suffered a disappointing loss in the Virginia gubernatorial election — the first time in 12 years that Democrats lost statewide, and only a year after Biden had carried the state by 10 points.
And in New Jersey, another diverse blue state, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy only narrowly won reelection in a race that wasn’t expected to be so close.
The electoral setbacks on Tuesday have heightened Democrats’ anxiety about their prospects in next year’s midterm elections, where Republicans only have to flip five seats to take back the House and just one to control the Senate.
In a sign of the high stakes for his agenda, Biden made calls Thursday night to House Democrats to urge support for the social spending package, according to a White House official. Biden did not advocate for specific timing, however.
House Democratic leaders spent the day trying to iron out the remaining issues to round up the votes for the social spending package, which includes an extension of the child tax credit, universal preschool, four weeks of paid family and medical leave, and tax credits to incentivize climate change initiatives.
Pelosi cited an analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation, which estimated that the social spending package’s revenue measures would raise $1.5 trillion over a decade, excluding an additional $650 billion in savings from the IRS tax enforcement and prescription drug pricing provisions.
Aside from immigration, the Senate is likely to make additional changes before the bill is signed into law. Some senators have offered a different proposal for the state and local tax deduction, and key centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) has expressed opposition to including paid family leave.

I'm letting you know Scott
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Friday on the Build Back Better Act, the reconciliation bill devoted to climate change and social programs, and the bipartisan infrastructure bill already passed in the Senate in August, according to a senior Democratic aide.
Democrats have failed to meet previous self-imposed deadlines to pass the bills that form the cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda, but the aide said that leadership was confident on finishing on Friday.
NBC too
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden called numerous House lawmakers on Thursday to help rally support for his legislative agenda, four sources familiar with the matter told NBC News, as Democratic leaders laid the groundwork for Friday votes on both a social safety net bill and an infrastructure package that would cap months of internal party negotiations.
A Democratic leadership source said the House plans to vote on the two pieces of legislation Friday, and that leaders are feeling confident they will finish them in one day, a move that would hand Biden a major legislative victory at a time when his poll numbers are falling.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is aiming to pass the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better legislation and separately send the $550 billion Senate-passed infrastructure measure to Biden's desk this week. Due to narrow margins, she cannot afford to lose more than three Democrats to ensure passage of the
Democratic leaders seemed to be making progress on gaining consensus in the caucus on Thursday. After suggesting earlier in the day that the social policy bill would fail, moderate Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, tweeted that he would vote for it.
The final outstanding issues in the social safety net bill — immigration, the cost of the legislation, and state and local tax (SALT) deductions — appeared to have been resolved by Thursday evening.
On the tax deductions, two sources told NBC News that negotiations have wrapped up and that the New York and New Jersey SALT caucus has signed off on them. The new provision would increase the annual $10,000 cap on deductions to $80,000.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., said Congressional Hispanic Caucus members were "encouraged" after meeting with Pelosi on immigration, adding that she agreed to consider “ideas and legislation” after Biden's economic agenda is passed.
Pelosi addressed concerns about the cost of the social safety net bill in a letter to Democratic colleagues Thursday evening touting a new White House estimate that said the bill was "fully paid for." That followed an estimate by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation that found the Build Back Better bill would raise $1.47 trillion from new taxes.
The House Rules Committee on Thursday evening was expected to meet to discuss the final steps before the safety net legislation can head to the floor for a vote by all House lawmakers. The infrastructure bill is already cleared for a vote.
If they pull this off, it will be
a defining moment in history.

"$550 billion Senate-passed infrastructure measure to Biden's desk this week."

Pelosi Prepares to Send Her Most Vulnerable Members to the Slaughter
The Associated Press reports that, unchastised by Tuesday night’s rout, Nancy Pelosi plans to ready the House of Representatives for a “debate and vote on a revised draft of President Joe Biden’s now-$1.85 trillion domestic policy package.” The decision, the AP suggests, is intended to “show voters the party can deliver on its priorities.”
That’s one way of putting it, certainly. Another might be: Nancy Pelosi hopes to appease the progressive wing of her caucus by sending her most vulnerable members unarmed into the Somme.
Substantively, what Pelosi is proposing is bonkers. For a start, there is no “Build Back Better” bill. It remains what it has always been: a slogan, in search of a topline, in search of an agenda. There is only one thing on which the Democratic Party is agreed, and that is that the United States should spend at least two trillion more dollars over the next decade than it had planned to before Joe Biden won. On what? Well, that depends. Some want tax cuts for the rich. Some want to send checks to Americans who have kids. Some want a bunch of new permanent programs. Some want climate-change-mitigation measures. Some want a second New Deal. At various points during the last few months, all of these things have been in the bill in one form or another, and, at various points, they’ve been taken out again. There is a reason that we have not had a “national debate” over the “Biden agenda,” and that reason is that, beyond its cost, there is nothing concrete to debate.
The result has been the creation of a protean piece of vaporware that nobody in Congress seems much to like, and that the American people seem increasingly to loathe. Since Tuesday’s elections, the institutional Democratic Party has rallied stupidly around the idea that, in order to stave off further electoral losses, it must show voters that it can “get things done” — as if the average American citizen favors action for its own sake. But, of course, it must do no such thing. Reflecting upon this fallacy, Abigail Spanberger, a moderate Democrat from Virginia, noted yesterday that “nobody elected [Biden] to be F.D.R., they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos,” while Representative Kathleen Rice, her colleague from New York, seemed baffled by the whole thing. “I don’t understand some of my more progressive colleagues saying [that Tuesday] night now shows us that what we need to do is get both of these bills done and shove even more progressive stuff in,” Rice said.
Rice is correct. And yet, inexplicably, “shove even more progressive stuff in” is precisely what Nancy Pelosi has chosen to do in response. Yesterday morning, despite knowing full well that Joe Manchin is implacably opposed to it, House Democrats added a previously removed paid-leave provision back into the bill, and thereby increased, rather than decreased, the electoral risk it poses to swing-district denizens such as Spanberger and Rice. Why? Well, because the less aligned the House and the Senate become, the more likely it is that the House passes a bill that dies a slow death in the Senate, and, in turn, the more likely it is that the raft of moderate House Democrats who end up voting for it will be left stranded. As the victims of the failed attempt to repeal Obamacare will tell you, there is nothing worse in American politics than having cast a recorded vote for an unpopular bill that is defeated in the other chamber; you don’t have any tangible accomplishment to point to for your trouble, and you’re left vulnerable to attack ads in your next campaign.

Pfizer announced on Friday that its pill to treat Covid-19 had been found in a key clinical trial to be highly effective at preventing severe illness among at-risk people who received the drug soon after they exhibited symptoms.
The antiviral pill is the second of its kind to demonstrate efficacy against Covid. It appears to be more effective than a similar offering from Merck, which is awaiting federal authorization.
Pfizer’s pill, which will be sold under the brand name Paxlovid, cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 89 percent when given within three days of the start of symptoms.
Pfizer said an independent board of experts monitoring its clinical trial had recommended that the study be stopped early because the drug’s benefit to patients had proved so convincing. The company said that it planned to submit the data as soon as possible to the Food and Drug Administration to seek authorization for the pill to be used in the United States.
“The results are really beyond our wildest dreams,” said Annaliesa Anderson, a Pfizer executive who led the drug’s development. She expressed hope that Paxlovid “can have a big impact on helping all our lives go back to normal again and seeing the end of the pandemic.”
The treatment could become available in the next few months, though supplies are likely to be limited at first. The Pfizer and Merck pills are both geared toward patients regarded as high-risk, such as those above the age of 60 or with conditions like obesity that make them more susceptible to severe consequences from Covid.

Timeline of the coup: How Trump tried to weaponize the Justice Department to overturn the 2020 election
By Marshall Cohen
CNN Illustration by Alberto Mier
Updated 1 hour ago Nov 5, 2021
Washington (CNN) - Program notes: Programming note: A new CNN documentary, "Trumping Democracy: An American Coup," about former President Donald Trump's attempts to subvert the 2020 election, premieres at 9 p.m. ET on Friday, November 5.
A full year after the 2020 presidential election, new details are still emerging about former President Donald Trump's unprecedented effort to overturn the results.
Many of Trump's actions were done in public view, including dozens of ill-fated lawsuits and tweets that undermined the electoral process. But congressional inquiries and news reports have shed new light on what happened behind the scenes as Trump tried to cling to power.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Trump's attempted coup was how he relentlessly tried to weaponize the Justice Department to nullify President Joe Biden's victory. The Democratic-run Senate Judiciary Committee investigated Trump's conduct and concluded in a recent report that he "grossly abused the power of the presidency."
Here's a big-picture breakdown of the attempted coup, along with a day-by-day timeline of Trump's efforts to co-opt the Justice Department to help his campaign.
Big-picture summary of the coup attempt
Four days after Election Day, CNN and other news outlets projected that Biden had won. Instead of conceding, Trump immediately started pressuring local, state and federal officials to overturn the results. Many of these officials rebuffed his demands, concluding they were unethical, illegal or unconstitutional. But some officials and advisers joined the charge and tried to help.
Within weeks, Trump met with and spoke to officials from Michigan and Pennsylvania who were involved in the election process, hoping they'd block Biden's victory. He fired a senior cybersecurity official at the Department of Homeland Security who publicly debunked his lies about voter fraud. And he cranked up the pressure on the Justice Department, even after Attorney General Bill Barr ordered prosecutors to investigate voter fraud allegations.
He tried -- but failed -- to stop certification in key states in late November and December. After that, Trump and his allies filed meritless lawsuits across the country seeking to nullify the results.
Trump called Pennsylvania lawmakers, urging them to ignore the fact that Biden won their state and appoint GOP electors instead. He called Georgia's governor and pushed him to convince state lawmakers there to do the same. These efforts also fell flat, and members of the Electoral College met on December 14, 2020, to officially affirm Biden's victory.
Running out of time before the transfer of power,
Trump also mounted a private and public effort to pressure Vice President Mike Pence into unconstitutionally nullifying Biden's win while presiding over the Electoral College process.
The coup attempt reached a horrifying crescendo on January 6, 2021, when Trump held a massive rally near the White House and incited thousands of supporters to attack the Capitol while lawmakers were certifying the Electoral College results. The insurrection was quelled, but it led to five deaths and 140 police officers were injured. Biden was inaugurated two weeks later.

November 7
• CNN and other news networks project that Biden will win the 2020 presidential election.
November 9
• Breaking from long-standing Justice Department policy, Barr issues a directive giving federal prosecutors more leeway to ramp up voter fraud investigations. The move is controversial because -- for decades -- the Justice Department would wait until elections were certified before taking overt investigative steps, to avoid the appearance of trying to influence the results. The top election crimes prosecutor resigns in protest, and other prosecutors denounce Barr's order.
November 19
• Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell hold a bizarre news conference filled with lies about fraud and unhinged talk of a worldwide conspiracy to rig the election. Powell says, "A full-scale criminal investigation needs to be undertaken immediately by the Department of Justice."
November 29
• In an interview with Fox News, Trump says it's "inconceivable" that the Justice Department and FBI aren't doing more to investigate his voter fraud allegations. "Where are they?" he asks.
December 1
• Barr tells The Associated Press in a bombshell interview that the Justice Department didn't find widespread fraud. After the story is published, Trump confronts Barr in the White House. According to a book by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, an "explosive and crazed" Trump berates Barr for publicly admitting that there wasn't widespread fraud. Barr tells Trump his campaign lawyers are a "clown show" and that his fraud claims are "complete nonsense."
December 10
• Trump retweets a post from a Republican congressman who said Trump should order Barr to appoint a special prosecutor to "investigate irregularities in the 2020 election."
December 14
• Trump's assistant sends Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen a document about alleged irregularities in Michigan and says it's "from POTUS," according to emails released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Later that day, while the Electoral College meets in state capitals, Trump announces that Barr will resign and Rosen will soon replace him in an acting capacity. CNN reported that Trump seriously considered firing Barr, but Barr decided to quit.

Clark circulates a draft letter among Justice Department leadership that he wants to send to officials in Georgia. The letter would've done exactly what Trump wanted: It says prosecutors found "significant concerns" with the election results and urges the Republican governor to "immediately call a special session" of the state legislature to appoint pro-Trump electors. Clark calls this a "proof of concept" that could be replicated in other states Trump lost.
• Rosen and Donoghue refuse to sign the letter and it is never sent. In an email, Donoghue bluntly tells Clark that "there is no chance that I would sign this letter or anything remotely like this."
• The Senate Judiciary Committee report concluded that "Clark's proposal to wield DOJ's power to override the already-certified popular vote reflected a stunning distortion of DOJ's authority."
• Separately, Trump meets with a supportive attorney, Kurt Olsen. Trump directs Olsen to get in touch with top Justice Department officials about filing a lawsuit that would nullify the results from several key states that Biden won, according to emails released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Olsen later has a phone call with Rosen's chief of staff about the potential suit.
• According to internal emails made public in the Senate report, Clark starts promoting pro-Trump conspiracy theories within the Justice Department, including the absurd claim that Chinese spies used thermometers to tamper with US voting machines.
December 29
• Trump's assistant sends a draft lawsuit to Rosen, saying Trump wants him to review it, according to emails released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The lawsuit, which was peddled by Olsen, isn't ever filed. But the draft envisions that the Justice Department would ask the Supreme Court to nullify the results from several battleground states that Biden won.
• White House chief of staff Mark Meadows emails Rosen for the first time about a farfetched and baseless conspiracy theory alleging that Biden supporters at the CIA used Italian satellites to remotely switch votes from Trump to Biden.
December 30
• Meadows emails Rosen and asks him to "have your team look into" several pro-Trump voter fraud theories in Georgia, according to documents released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Separately, Trump retweets a post about fraud claims in Georgia, and adds, "where is the FBI?"
January 6
• Tens of thousands of Trump supporters descend on Washington for a rally. Trump delivers a militant speech and urges his followers to march to the Capitol and "fight like hell" to stop lawmakers, and Pence, from certifying the election results. Thousand of rioters attack the Capitol, breaching the Senate floor. Five people die in the chaos and 140 police officers are hurt. The insurrection is quashed after several hours. Lawmakers certify Biden's victory, Pence ignores Eastman's scheme and follows the Constitution, and Biden becomes President-elect.
January 20
• Biden is sworn in as the 46th President on the same stage that rioters had ransacked a few weeks earlier. In his inaugural address, Biden says, "We have learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed."

President Biden is ‘perfectly comfortable’ with his administration paying immigrant families to resolve lawsuits alleging they suffered trauma from being separated after illegally crossing the Mexico border, a White House spokeswoman said Thursday, in a bid to clarify Mr. Biden’s comment a day earlier that such payouts weren’t going to happen,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Commerce Department reported last week that the economy grew by 0.5 percent in the third quarter, compared with 1.6 percent in the second quarter. Economists attributed the slowdown to the resurgent pandemic and supply chain holdups that have caused shortages of key components, hampering manufacturers.
After the economy added more than one million jobs in July, employment growth has slowed sharply. Even though there are five million fewer jobs than there were before the pandemic, some employers are complaining of a shortage of workers, as many people remain on the sidelines of the job market. The labor force — the working-age population employed or looking for a job — actually contracted by 183,000 in September.
In theory, the demand for workers should be drawing more people into the labor force, but the participation rate is nearly two percentage points below where it was before the pandemic. Early retirements have been a factor.
A federal supplement to unemployment benefits expired in early September, and experts are watching whether the end of that assistance — and a depletion of savings accumulated from other emergency programs — increases the availability of workers.
So far, those effects have been muted, as health concerns and child care challenges have continued to affect many families. At the same time, the labor shortage has given workers a measure of leverage they’ve not experienced in recent years, contributing to wage growth.
“For the last 25, maybe 30 years, labor has been on its back heels and losing its share of the economic pie,” said Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “But that dynamic is now shifting.”
For many companies, the increase in labor costs is a challenge in an uncertain business environment. And lingering supply-chain troubles have meant that shipping costs — which are passed on to consumers in the form of more expensive goods — remain significantly above prepandemic levels.
Still, there are reasons to be optimistic. The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that it would begin winding down the large-scale bond purchases that have been underway since the pandemic struck, signaling that it considers the economy healthy enough to be weaned from the extra stimulus.
"During an appearance on PBS’s “NewsHour,” Carville said “stupid wokeness” was what went wrong for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, who lost to Glenn Youngkin."

House Democrats are expected to vote Friday on a new version of President Biden's social spending plan and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Thursday night.
Hoyer said the House Rules Committee will meet Thursday night, and the House will reconvene in Friday morning at 8 a.m. ET to vote.
A Democratic aide said party leadership is feeling confident about finishing those key agenda items Friday, following weeks and months of negotiations.
The latest iteration of the Build Back Better bill restores paid family and medical leave — after that provision had been dropped from the bill over opposition from Senator Joe Manchin. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal announced Wednesday the provision was officially back in the proposal, hours after Republican Glenn Youngkin was projected to be the winner of the governor's race in Virginia.
Neal said Democrats could pass paid family leave "responsibly, fully paying for this means-tested program." The measure would allow qualifying Americans to receive four weeks of paid leave. But Manchin told reporters on the same day that he hadn't been informed that House Democrats were putting paid leave back into the spending plan, and he indicated that the idea would have his support in a separate measure

Special Counsel John Durham’s indictment Thursday of “dossier” source Igor Danchenko revealed the first real evidence of “Russia collusion” — and it was linked to Hillary Clinton’s associates, not with Donald Trump or his presidential campaign.

The U.S. economy added 531,000 jobs in October.
By Nelson D. Schwartz and Talmon Joseph Smith
The American economy added 531,000 jobs in October, the Labor Department said Friday, a sharp rebound from the prior month and a sign that employers are feeling more optimistic as the latest coronavirus surge eases.
Economists polled by Bloomberg had been looking for a gain of 450,000 jobs. The unemployment rate declined to 4.6 percent, from 4.8 percent.
The October gain was an improvement from the 312,000 positions added in September — a number that was revised upward on Friday.
Hiring has seesawed this year along with the pandemic, especially in vulnerable sectors like hospitality and retail, where workers must deal face to face with customers. White-collar employees have fared better, since many can work remotely.
Some employers are complaining of a shortage of workers, as many people remain on the sidelines of the job market. The labor force participation rate — the share of the working-age population employed or looking for a job — was flat in October.
In theory, the demand for workers should be drawing more people into the labor force, but the participation rate is nearly two percentage points below where it was before the pandemic. Early retirements have been a factor.
A federal supplement to unemployment benefits expired in early September, and experts are watching whether the end of that assistance — and a depletion of savings accumulated from other emergency programs — increases the availability of workers.
So far, those effects have been muted, as health concerns and child care challenges have continued to affect many families. At the same time, the labor shortage has given workers a measure of leverage they’ve not experienced in recent years.
“For the last 25, maybe 30 years, labor has been on its back heels and losing its share of the economic pie,” said Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “But that dynamic is now shifting.”

Priorities USA, one of the Democrat Party’s top super PACs, has told the Party to shape up or else face serious losses in the upcoming mid-terms and beyond.
In a memo obtained by Politico, Priorities USA minced no words regarding the Republican victories in Virginia and other elections on Tuesday night, admitting that the party faces “difficult challenges” in the year ahead. The memo said:
Voters are frustrated, skeptical, and tired — of covid, of economic hardship, of school closings, of higher prices and stagnant wages, of unaffordable prescription drugs and health care and more. Without results (and effectively communicating those results), voters will punish the party in power.
The memo further warned Democrats that the results in Virginia and New Jersey are nothing compared to the losses that await them in the 2022 mid-terms when they will have to defend seats in highly competitive regions.
“Our congressional majorities depend on winning Senate and House seats that are much more competitive than New Jersey and Virginia, giving us little room for error. The same is true for key governors’ races and state legislative seats,” the memo asserted.

Another white supremacist group is working to spark a civil war, according to a video captured by the FBI.
WABC reported Friday that for months the FBI watched the group "The Base" as they plotted a terrorist attack using a pro-gun rights rally in Richmond, Virginia. The men were sentenced in late October to nine years in prison, but ABC just obtained the 2019 audio from the secret recordings at their Delaware home.
The extremist group has been recruiting members since 2018 in the U.S. and around the world. They've used "online chat rooms, private meetings, and military-style training camps" that prepare them for a new civil war.
The recordings cite the men plotting acts of terror around the rally that would ultimately bring down the U.S. government.
"Patrik Mathews, a former Canadian Army reservist illegally in the U.S., and Brian Lemley, a Maryland resident and self-described white nationalist, fantasized about the brutal murders they'd soon carry out against law enforcement and Black people, all with the goal of bringing about the 'Boogaloo,' or the collapse of the U.S. government in order to prop up a white ethno-state," the report said citing the recordings.
Join Raw Story Investigates. Go AD-Free.
"We need to go back to the days of ... decimating Blacks and getting rid of them where they stand," Mathews said in a recording. "If you see a bunch of Blacks sitting on some corner you f*cking shoot them."

The American working class has more incentive to get a job!
America’s workers, who now enjoy greater leverage in the job market than they have in decades, are receiving solid pay increases. The draw of higher income could entice more people to come off the sidelines and look for work again.
It exactly reverses the welfare queen rhetoric of the 1980s, another example of bottom up is.

The job market added a stunning 531,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.6% — a new pandemic-era low.
Why it matters: America's job market recovery has been on track all along.
Between the lines: Revisions to prior months are often overlooked. Not this month: Upgrades to both August and September were so enormous — fully 366,000 jobs higher than originally reported — that they have definitively reversed the narrative that there was a Delta-induced hiring slump in late summer.
By the numbers: America has now recovered 80% of the jobs lost at the depth of the recession in 2020.
The big picture: Leisure and hospitality added 164,000 jobs last month — but jobs growth was widespread. The disappointment — again — came in public sector education. State and local education shed a combined 65,000 jobs.
Wages are still rising: Average hourly earnings rose another 11 cents an hour in October, to $30.96. That's enough to keep up with inflation.

Why you could pay double for a Thanksgiving turkey this year
"I can buy that this will be the most expensive Thanksgiving ever, but there’s an income-inequality story here that matters a lot,” Trey Malone, an agricultural economist at Michigan State University, told the Times. “The rich are going to be spending more on Thanksgiving than they have ever spent before, but not everyone is going to be able to do that."

did wages double this year ?
I must have missed it

Bidennomics is the best way in history!
The Conference Board, a business research group, said that in its October consumer confidence survey, the proportion of Americans who said they planned to buy cars, homes or major appliances all rose. And nearly half the survey respondents said they planned to vacation in the next six months — the highest such proportion since February 2020, before COVID-19 ripped through the economy.
Yet some companies say they still can’t find enough workers to fill jobs. Many parents, particularly mothers, haven’t returned to the workforce after having left jobs during the pandemic to care for children or other relatives. Defying the predictions of some like kputz and rrb the expiration of a $300-a-week federal unemployment supplement hasn’t caused more people to look for work. Roughly 5 million fewer people have jobs now than did before the pandemic.
Most economists say they’re hopeful that with vaccinations helping to suppress the delta wave, more people will seek and find jobs because they’re no longer sick or caring for someone who is or because they no longer fear becoming infected. Those health issues had sidelined more people in September than in previous months.
The draw of higher income could entice more people to come off the sidelines and look for work again. Wages and salaries in the July-September quarter, compared with a year earlier, jumped by the most in 20 years. Most of that gain, though, went to already employed people who left their jobs: The number of people who quit, mostly to take new positions, has reached a record high.
Rising inflation, though, has eroded much of the value of those pay increases and has become the most serious headwind for the U.S. economy. Higher costs for food, heating oil, rents and furniture have burdened millions of families. Prices rose 4.4% in September compared with 12 months earlier, the sharpest such increase in three decades.
That inflation surge was a key reason why the Federal Reserve announced this week that it would begin winding down the stimulus it has given the economy since the pandemic recession struck last year. The Fed will do so by reducing its monthly bond purchases, which have been intended to hold down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending.
Chair Jerome Powell suggested that it won’t be possible to gain a clear picture of the job market’s health until the impact of COVID-19 declines further, which could take months.
Yet in the meantime, there are plenty of signs that the economy is healing: The number of people applying for first-time unemployment benefits fell for a fifth straight week, to a level nearly as low as the pace of jobless claims before the pandemic struck 20 months ago.
And while hiring has slowed for now, consumers as a whole have solid financial cushions. After several rounds of stimulus checks and other government support payments, Americans overall have amassed about $2.5 trillion more in savings than they had before the pandemic. As that money is spent, it will likely fuel further economic activity.

None of it has happened .
He has done the exact opposite.
Again, Roger , the economic Illiteracy in the Socialist Democrats is systemic.
Roger , wages are trailing Biden's inflation.
And trump lied about the Russians..
According to the Durham Special Counsel, it would appear that it was the Clinton campaign and the FBI who lied about the Russians.
But that is just legal evidence. What does that matter when you have political rhetoric on your side.
Bidennomics is the most successful in history.
In the late 70s we experienced stagflation, and the Reagan administration introduced top down economics. And the former President who inherited the longest economic recovery in history.
This recovery is the exact opposite solution. Bottom Up Economics
In the last expansion, the United States achieved 4.8 percent unemployment in January 2016 — but didn’t reach 4.6 percent until more than a year later, in February 2017.
Indeed, there are lots of signs that this is a hyper-speed recovery compared to the last one. The share of the 25- to 54-year-old workers who are employed jumped 0.3 percentage points in October.
In the last year that share has risen from 76 percent to 78.3 percent. That same shift took about four and a half years in the last expansion, from September 2012 to February 2017.
Put simply, for all the discussion of labor shortages, and the fact that the share of adults who are part of the labor force has remained well below prepandemic levels, employers keep managing to find people to take jobs. The latest numbers undermine any narrative that the pandemic has caused large masses of people to leave the work force permanently, whether because of government stimulus benefits or personal factors.
Employers are paying more to get those workers, it’s worth noting. Average hourly earnings for private-sector workers were up 0.4 percent in October and are up 4.9 percent over the last year. That is high by recent standards, but probably a bit below the inflation rate in that span. (October inflation numbers are not out yet, but for the 12 months ended in September the Consumer Price Index was up 5.4 percent.)
The wage story looks better for rank-and-file American workers. Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees have risen 5.8 percent over the last year, which is likely to be higher than inflation was over that span. That is the steepest one-year gain since 1982, other than a couple of months early in the pandemic that featured unusual statistical aberrations.
