AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

The Fascist Felon Pissed Off Lots of People:
Sen. Kelly responds to reports about escalation of review
Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly responded to reports that the Department of War is “escalating the preliminary review” of his actions.
In late November, the Pentagon announced it was investigating Sen. Kelly for his role in a video posted by Democratic lawmakers. In that video, the six lawmakers called on U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders.

Trump’s 💩+++++ Economy:
The U.S. added just 64,000 jobs in November — a sign the labor market is slowing
The job market continues to show signs of cooling.
U.S. employers added just 64,000 jobs in November, according to a delayed report from the Labor Department Tuesday, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.6% from 4.4% in September. That’s the highest unemployment rate in more than four years.
The jobs report was initially set to come out earlier this month, but the government’s ability to monitor the job market was hampered by the six-week federal shutdown.
Key Points:
- Nonfarm payrolls growth totaled a seasonally adjusted 64,000 for the month, better than the Dow Jones estimate of 45,000 and up from a sharp decline of 105,000 in October.
- The unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, more than expected, and its highest level since September 2021. A more encompassing rate swelled to 8.7%.
- The establishment numbers showed most of the gains in November came from a familiar source — health care added 46,000 jobs, accounting for more than 70% of the total net increase.
- Markets continued to put low odds on another interest rate cut in January.
