- The Conversation Democrats Need to HaveIn the weeks since the election, I’ve been thinking about the woman who told me she’d heard that Kamala Harris “let in all the illegals who killed all those cops.”I met her when a few of us from Pod Save America were knocking doors in Las Vegas the Sunday before the election. She was listed in the voter file as a 72-year-old registered Democrat who hadn’t voted yet, so we rang the doorbell and were greeted by a small Asian woman and a very large dog. Her broken English wasn’t easy to understand, and the barking didn’t help, but her concern about the cop-killing immigrants was clear.We skipped the fact-check and assured the woman that Vice President Harris promised to crack down on illegal immigration and close the border if it got out of control. She seemed mildly encouraged, but not sold. We told her that Harris also wanted to… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago

- US Added a Strong 227,000 Jobs in NovemberThe U.S. job market made a robust recovery in November, adding 227,000 positions and demonstrating resilience after a sharp hiring slowdown in October. According to the Labor Department’s December 6 report, this marks a significant rebound from October’s paltry 36,000 jobs added, a figure hampered by strikes and hurricane disruptions. Additionally, revisions for September and October revealed a combined increase of 56,000 more jobs than previously estimated. Despite the hiring surge, the unemployment rate nudged slightly upward to 4.2% from October’s 4.1%, while hourly wages saw a 0.4% rise from the prior month and a year-over-year growth of 4%. These wage increases exceeded expectations, underscoring steady earnings growth even amid economic uncertainty. This latest employment report underscores the durability of the U.S. labor market, even as it shows signs of deceleration following the hiring boom experienced during the post-pandemic economic recovery from 2021 to 2023.

- The Bizarre Normalcy of Trump 2.0A very strange disjuncture has opened up in Washington between the serene mood and the alarming developments that are under way. The surface is calm because the Republican presidential candidate won the election, and Democrats, the only one of the two major parties committed on principle to upholding the legitimacy of election results, conceded defeat and are cooperating in the peaceful transition of power. Whatever energy the chastened Democrats can muster at the moment is aimed inward, at factional struggles over their future direction.Meanwhile, what is actually happening in the capital is, by any rational standard, disturbing. Donald Trump is filling his administration with “loyalists,” a prerogative that his opponents have grudgingly accepted as his due. Yet he is defining loyalist in maximal terms, including the belief that Trump legitimately won the 2020 election and was justified in his attempt to seize power. The winners are rewriting the history of… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
