Patience is key to approach a life filled with opportunities or else risk making irreversible consequences. All things seem difficult before it becomes easy until we're willing to listen with the patience to understand to become resolute.

Have a fantastic Thursday! Love always💋

Tariffs are cost shocks. Last time around, across the board cost shocks coordinated price hikes and triggered sellers' inflation (see paper below).

Get ready for the next inflation bout! This time courtesy of MAGA.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are completely uninhabited. Population zero. I guess we're going to tariff the seagulls?

It kind of feels like a White House intern went through Wikipedia's list of countries and just generated this list off of that with no further research.

Lost in the chaos of Donald Trump’s executive orders is a bombshell decision: halting all funding of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the very law that Republicans and Democrats worked together to pass, to fix our roads, modernize aging bridges, and ensure clean drinking water.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I attended Trump’s inauguration yesterday.

Here are my thoughts:

In 1994, I took a lot of heat for this speech warning that the American middle class was in danger. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

It's gotten lost in the government shutdown fiasco, but thousands of workers are on strike across the country right now — including at Amazon and Starbucks.

We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power in this country, and I couldn't be happier to see it.

Solidarity.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I’m pardoning 39 people with non-violent crimes who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, and I’m commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 others – many of whom would have received lower sentences today.

America was built on second chances. That's what these pardons and commutations represent.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

@FDNY I called 911 when the fire started engulfing the roof. Thank you FDNY for responding quickly.

In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.

Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.

A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.

Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The NLRB has just ruled that captive audience meetings are illegal nationwide.

These are mandatory meetings where bosses try to persuade workers not unionize, often using coercive tactics.

[Stand Up America @StandUpAmerica]

President Biden and the Democratic Senate majority have less than 2 months to fill 47 judicial vacancies – and we need them to prioritize getting it done.

If these dozens of vacancies remain unfilled, Trump will fill them with MAGA judges who will set back decades of progress.

NBC - 11/10/2024 - Full @BernieSanders Interview on the Democrats abandoning the working class, responding to Nancy Pelosi disagreeing with him, and more

"I have to say to Nancy. In the Senate in the last two year, we have not even brought forth legislation to raise the minimum wage to a living wage"

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

A key moment in America's culture wars happened in New York City on May 8, 1970.

The "Hard Hat Riot" ushered in an era of division that demagogues like Trump continue to exploit to this very day.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The working class of this country is angry.

They have a reason to be angry.

The very wealthy are doing phenomenally well, while 60% of us are living paycheck to paycheck.

It’s time to get big money out of politics and create an economy that works for the people.

With candidate switch, worth remembering that JD Vance is a major advocate of menstrual surveillance, local cops having the right to pull obgyn records to see who and who isn’t menstruating and who might be planning a trip to an abortion rights state https://t.co/CmOsEt966S

Notice a pattern?

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

If you were a Democrat who was furious at Bush for bringing us into the Iraq War, you better not cheerlead Biden bringing us into a much more disastrous war with Iran. Please try to have at least a little bit of principles and consistency. Tell Biden we don't want this war!

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Politics is going to do you, no matter if you vote or not.

We deserve better than Trump v. Biden.

There are other things on the ballot after the line for President. Those things often times impact our lives more than the Presidential race.
